    I admire Calzaghe, I really do. But let's be real...Ward would sweep him 12 rounds to none. It is what it is. He fought a bunch of Euro bums and his name victories were with fighters way past their prime. He can try and make an argument now and its a discussion worth having, but when Ward retires and you compare their careers it'll be clear as day. Sorry Joe, you're only the best SMW champ in history because it's a brand new division. At the end of Ward's career you will be the consensus #2 on the All-time SMW list.

        Agreed.

        Calzaghe was so under rated...

        Undefeated legend.

          yeah people who throw thousands of inaccurate slappy punches do so because they have great timing.

            Trust the Khantard to agree with Joe being the best super middleweight!

            Joe's the greatest cherry picker ever, even worse than Floyd Mayweather.

            Next you'll be telling me Amir Khan is the best.

              Time will tell but one point is Ward is now starting to be injury prone is currently having a long lay off who knows how long he will be around so that may not be the case.

                ward hurt his hands because he's a power puncher. ward and calzaghe 2 huge power punchers. someone's going down in the first round out cold.

                      I'd pick Calzaghe to beat Ward any day, he had the ability to change his game to beat any opponent.
