    I guess the idea is that many people think Ward's resume is already better than Calzaghe's, but when you actually compare their best wins (within context), Calzaghe still has the better resume and the tougher fights at this point. Undoubtedly, if Ward continues his streak he could very well surpass Calzaghe's resume and legacy, but it would be unfair to Joe to say Ward has already done so.
    No he doesn't Dawson a guy Joe ducked coming off of a win over a guy Joe barely won a fight against is a better win for Ward than any Joe has.

    No weight drained excuse he took the fight there and agreed to it, Ward just shut down his jab which is what Dawson relies on and broke his will.

      Fad Glass Jawson had just been battered around the ring by Glen Johnson.

        Another guy Joe ducked yet Dawson has one close debatable decision win and another dominant outclassing against the Road Warrior.

          Joe ducked neither. Even the godlike Calzaghe is not adverse to injury.

                Calzaghe travelled a lot more than Ward has and when you consider people called Calzaghe 'Stay At Home Joe'......

                  Lol, whether you want to blame Chad or Andre for it, the fact remains that Dawson was a walking corpse going into that fight; he was also brutally KO'd by Miranda in sparring only a week prior to the fight.

                    No one was drained I don't buy it and give Ward full credit for his dominant win.

                      Calzaghe = done. Ward = plenty of fights left.

                      Not the best time to compare, imo.
