    I still haven't seen the Ward Froch fight, but by all accounts the Cobra got his arse handed to him. Big shame for the Cobra and I feel for him, but c'est la vie.

    So here's the question... I don't think there are many who could school Froch but I always thought Calzaghe would pick him apart to a one-sided UD - not quite a Lacy but not far off. How would the Ward who beat Cobra fare against a peak Calzaghe?

    Like I say, I didn't see it so I don't know.

    Has it? I had a look before posting and didn't see one. I'd better look again.
    Apologies all round.

    Froch lost but Taylor and Dirrell were whooping his ass FAR worse in patches than what Ward done, anyway I still say Calzaghe beats Ward, he'd of done froch like a kipper too and I like Froch

    Calzaghe throws a lots of punches.

    The first half fo the fight is even, then Calzaghe has too much when Ward tires and is at 90%.

    Very possible for Ward to do him on points, but stoppage? Please, Joe had a class chin. Would have been a great fight...

    I'd edge 55 to 45 % in favour of Calzaghe.

    It's just the most unlikely outcome.
