    Super Middleweights better than Joe Calzaghe?

    Prime Roy Jones Jr?
    Andre Ward?
    How does Froch fare against him?
    Golovkin if he moved up?
    Anyone else?

    I think Joe is an ATG, he never ducked anybody but arguably the division was weak when he dominated it.

    Thoughts?

        Jones Jr
        Ward
        Maybe Froch can beat him but I wouldn't bet on it

          But Joe made him look relatively silly when they eventually fought despite both being past it.

            Ward and Calzaghe both have the same style of fighting, whilst Ward is an exceptional boxer I feel it would be very close on points, Calzaghe is a very underrated boxer despite the accolades he achieved.

              Ward can't smother Joe because Joe himself has very fast hand speed, and would smother Ward also, so 50/50 fight for Andre Ward.

                It will be a decision. And more active fighter with better workrate will win. We all know who that is between the two.

                  Roy Jones Jr. drops, busts up, and stops Calzaghe at 168. GGG probably gets the KO as well

                  I think Joe UDs both Ward and Froch.

                    Joe wasn't invincible, I would absolutely love to see all those fights, I don't rule him out of any of them, his head movement was phenomenal, his hand speed, I think he COULD win any of those fights theoretically.
