    Andre wards is 10 x better.

    Calzaghe probably could of had a great legacy, but he under achieved. Hide overseas forever, showed up and out worked elderly versions of Roy and Hopkins with tap punches. Didn't even land an actual memorable punch vs either.

    Kessler, lacy, and Eubanks were great wins though.

    But Also ducked Glenn Johnson like the plague, and that was before Glenn was even considered a somebody in the sport.

    Ward fought EVERYONE he had to, and dominated every one of them.

          ward fanbase pretending that he didnt cheat nonstop and get gifts and low blow, headbutt, clinch people in order to "win"

          calzaghe fanbase pretending guys like eubank were quality opponents when he hadnt beaten anyone in years and was losing to guys like schommer 3 years before...

          this is the type of fraud war i like to see! battle it out frauds!

              That's the rabies talking.

              Even Jim Lampley admitted that Joe shamelessly ducked Glenn Johnson.

              Sven Ottke fought and BEAT Glenn Johnson.

                You know it's bad when people are bringing up Eubank as one of Joe's best wins. He dragged Eubank down 2 divisions, he was a cruiser before and after fighting Calzaghe.

                  So prime, P4P Dawson moving down 1 weight class, a total of 6lbs=Drained

                  But

                  Shot Eubank moving down 2 weight classes, a total of over 20lbs he was forced to drop in 1 week's notice=Great win.

                    What am I wrong about here? Kov fight was only one he didn't dominate, but he took the rematch and dominated him the 2nd time around.

                    So who didn't ward fight or who didn't he dominate? Unless you have an example STFU, and stop wasting my time with ***** posts.

                      No he didn't. Funny how fanboyism clouds people. Ward didn't fight everyone he had to and he certainly didn't dominate Kovalev in their first fight. Ward got outboxed.
