    Calzaghe best wins are:

    1.hopkins (razor thin decision)
    2. Prime kessler
    3. Lacey
    4. Old roy

    Ward best wins are

    1. Froch
    2. Drained dawson
    3. Out of prime kessler
    4. Abraham

    I would say wards resume is slightly better, his best wins where more convincing.

      Its Joe and its not even close. He has a far far better resume and if they ever fought H2H Joe would've bombed him out within 5.

        Calzaghe at the moment obviously.

        Ward's best win is what? Kessler? A guy who Calzaghe undressed and outclassed years earlier. Or Froch who fought on fairly even terms with Kessler over 24 rounds.

        Calzaghe also went up and captured the Light Heavyweight Title. Something Ward has yet to do.

          In a few years Ward did more than what Calslappy did in a 15 year career. That's what's what happens when you spend most of it fighting Welsh coal miners and cab drivers.

            The Zags mops the floor with Ward, both head to head and resume-wise. Ward beat a drained out Dawson, a Kessler that Zags already beat when he was undefeated and a champ, and AA who is just too small for SMW to begin with.

            Zags traveled across the pond, moved up in weight and beat both Roy and BHOP. People can say they were "old" but BHOP is now 50 and is like the only guy who could last the distance against Kovalev while all these other young bucks are getting blasted out in 2 or 3 rounds against him. Roy was passed it but still at least beating decent comp when Zags beat him to a pulp.

            Ward is a Prima Donna who is afraid to move up in weight or leave his backyard and somehow thinks that he is deserving of $5MM per fight.

                Andre Ward.

                Kessler, Abraham, and Froch in the Super Six. And the LHW champ Dawson at the SMW limit.

                Keep in mind that Ward has done all of this by the age of 30. Calzaghe's best wins at that age were old Eubank and Reid by SD.

                  That wasn't the question.

                    I would agree with this.

                    edit: Jas post below is correct. Calfahghe is HOF right now while ward isn't. gotta go with him.
