Joe Calzaghe vs Andre Ward, Prime vs Prime, who wins?

[Earl-Hickey]

Calzaghe

faster and more active from the outside and he can fight well on the inside too

don't see how Ward is gonna "adapt" because joe isn't a one dimensional fighter you can shut down by "adapting", he "adapts" to you too

joe takes it on higher workrate

[Earl-Hickey]

Ward doesn't have the power to hurt Joe but Kabary Salem, Byron Mitchell, Hopkins, RJJ do despite having lesser power than Ward.

Believe it or not, Ward would be one of the biggest punchers on Calzaghe's resume. He's been put down and has struggled mightily against B and C level competition even in his prime.

This reminds me of Oscar vs Crawford. I think defense and fast hands win this one. Joe was a phenomenal fighter. I would favor him against a prime Hagler and Monzon.

[Lomadeaux]

Cal didn't fight anyone significant in his entire career until the end. He fought no one in their prime.

[Shrap]

Calzaghe is way too busy for Ward. Ward would also struggle to get in his dirty tactics against a guy who doesn't stop punching, inside and out.

Calzaghe UD.

lol anyone who picks calzagie are completly ret@rded. resume for resume ward has calzaghie BEAT easily. not only that the styles are all wrong for joe. old man hopkins fights in a similar style but ward is way way fresher higher work rate and younger wtf

[Heavyhands420]

Id take calzaghe. He had too much pressure and skill for ward. Great fight though

[MELLY-MEL...]

Joe C ftw

[Pac=Duran]

Joe C ftw

Not sure now. As close to a 50/50 fantasy match up as you can get.

Joe C ftw

Has Ward ever fought a guy that throws as many punches as Joe?
