Which they all did. Some were koed.
Some were pummeled so badly their own mothers would struggle to recognise them the following day.
Proper pick em fight. Ward is quality.

As Dan said Ward by decision "different class of fighter."
Joe almost got beat by an old Hopkins, many think he won that fight. Hopkins put joe on his azz and if he had the endurance to prolong his strategy the fight would have looked like the Pavlov fight.
Ward is not going to let Joe slap away from a comfortable distance, he will force the fight inside and catch joe all day to the body. Joe never fought a fighter with the skill level and mobility at prime that Ward displays. Guys like Ward control the pace of the fight with distance, timing and accurate punching.
Joe can't simply outpace Ward anymore than Manny Pacquio can throw the same number of punches a round against Floyd that he can against Margarito.
Calzaghe does very well against stationary guys who are past it and cannot deal with the constant barriage of slap punches. Even Robin Reid with his mobility gave Joe fits. Watch the Dawson fight, when Dawson goes to set his feet against Ward to get some idea about what Joe would look like trying to barriage Ward...no way it happens that I can see.
