Ward is better than Calzaghe, would beat Calzaghe, and will soon be the #1 SMW ever.

    Hey Popkins, one of the first times I interviewed Ward I actually asked him how he thought he would match-up with Calzaghe.

    This was from sometime before the Allan Green fight.

    ***

    http://is.gd/wZDGJ2



    On what he thought about Joe Calzaghe as a fighter and how he believess he would match up against a prime Calzaghe:

    “Joe Calzaghe’s a winner—that’s what you got to look at. Not to pat myself on the back, I have a lot more work that needs to be done and a lot more proving still to do, but I think that that’s one quality that I have. I just love to win and I just thank God that in each fight, even as an amateur, we found a way to win and that’s what Joe Calzaghe does. You can always nitpick and pry a guy’s style apart, you can find weaknesses on tape—we all have weaknesses—but at the end of the day, can he win? And Joe Calzaghe has proven over a long period of time that he is a winner—against sluggers, against other boxers, against whomever. So you have to give him his just due. Stylistically, I think it would have been a great match-up and I have a lot of respect for the guy, but of course, as a young fighter and a young lion I feel like I would definitely win the fight and I think I would win it handily. But that’s something we may never know about. I don’t know if Joe’s ever going to come back and obviously I got a lot of work carved out for me in the Super Six, but that’s definitely a dream match that I would look forward to because you would have two guys who have flaws, of course, have a lot of good strengths, but two guys who are determined to win. I think that would have given the fans just a tremendous, tremendous fight.”

    It's ESB if Ward lost a UD to Bute he would get branded a disgrace and his crazed newly aquired fanboys would ditch him for another bandwagon so equally so now that he's got one good win he's being hailed the GOAT 168lb fighter ever :-(

    If only there was a Super Six back then when Joe was fighting with Joe, Lacy, Kessler, Ottke, Beyer/Green/Mundine. Joe could've used the type of hype generated from this current series. Don't go overboard too soon with Ward. He's had an impressive career thus far, he's beaten a few top SMWs. Still has some more to do before he eclipses Calzaghe. Is Froch, Kessler, Abraham, Bika, Miranda in 2 years better than Kessler, Lacy, Eubank, Mitchell, Reid, Woodhall, Sheika, Bika, Brewer over a ten year reign? Maybe after he beats Bute and in 5-6 years is still #1 and beating the young rivals like Joe did at the end of his career.

    Pretty off.

    Ward has Kessler. Calzaghe has Kessler. Equal. Tell me Wards win was better and I will explain to you why you are wrong.

    Ward has Sakio Bika. Calzaghe has Sakio Bika. Equal.

    Ward has AA. Calzaghe has Lacy. Difference is AA KO'd bums one weight division lower, while Lacy did it at SMW. But lets say equal.

    Ward has Froch. Calzaghe has Eubank. Clear Calzaghe. Eubank and Froch had both been into some ugly wars prior, difference is Eubank was all together a lot better then Froch and younger (Froch 35, Eubank 31).

    Ward has Allan Green. No better then Reid, Sheika and so on. Oh, and yeah, Calzaghe has Hopkins.

    ward is the first SMW who deserves to be mentioned alongside calzaghe, but it's way too early to compare achievements.

    ward has plenty of time to eclipse joe and he's doing everything right heading towards that. but its way too premature to say ward would beat joe because we havent seen enough of him.

    joe's attitude might have been flawed, but you have to respect his ability in the ring.

    Gay Stripper Boy brent got me banned for a day so I couldn't reply to this cretin. So, apologies to Team Elite for my unexplained absence.


    :rofl:lol::patsch How did I duck your non-challenge exactly? Only the infamous laughing stock of esb DIMINATA would post such embarrassingly hypocritical deluded tripe. You of all people calling others a coward, frightened shitbag etc is like Elton John calling someone a fat ugly cum eating poof. Absolute projection :deal.

    Your delusional hypocrisy and incredible stupidity defies belief, and everyone can see straight through you. You're obviously DIMINATA, yet you're still too ashamed, embarrassed, and scared to admit it :yep. This MUST give you an idea of what a complete and utter cowardly ****-end you are.

    Clearly you're still a **** poster who struggles to understand boxing and is blinded by bias. I'll take you up on whatever 'challenge' you want. Just try not to leave esb in tears again like the pathetic sensitive ***** you know you are.

    You've also already been proven completely wrong about Dawson you clown. With Ward you're just trying to desperately cheer lead the the next boxer in line who you hope may one day rival the great Sugar Joe Calzaghe in the 168lb All-time rankings :lol:.

    pacfan84/DIMINATA/popkins/other alts he created to agree with himself = most idiotic pitiful twat on esb, and Team Elite's favourite punchbag :ko:yep.

    :lol: But that wasn't your question at all. You've changed it. Your original question was not if Bute beats both Ward and Froch. Re-read your own post.

    try not to be too hard on fragile popkins joe boxer, after all, he is a lantern jawed freak on a 3 year deepthroating degree course at the university of strathclyde :deal

    its hard not to feel sorry for a poster who is that delicate and fragile that he feels the need to create numerous alter-ego accounts such as dinamita, kittikasem, roskolnikov to try back his own views up :lol:

    that is so severly lacking in personality and sense of humour that everyone can see straight through his alter-ego's immediately because it sticks out like a sore thumb :lol:

    that continually ducks answering legitimate, relevant boxing questions by going off on a tangent to try and deflect from the fact that he ducked the question :rofl

    that resorts to irrelivant cut and paste replys that ruin his own threads and turn them into nonsensical chaos because he is too scared to let the debate flow and develop :lol:

    that when losing a debate, runs out of the thread and starts a poll about an irrelevant piece of inacurate information from the previous thread in a bid to deflect from the fact that he lost the relivant debate. this method resulted in respected poster silencer labelling him "a pissy little poster" :rofl

    that is so lacking in sense of humour that he disgracefully resorts to using pictures of mentally handicapped children in a vile, despicable attempt to provide humour to a boxing forum :-(

    that continually crys like a little ***** to the mods as though they actually give a **** about what a little, pissy, cry baby, like him has to say :crybaby

    All it took was 5 super fights in the supersix and Ward is miles ahead of Calzaghe already with only 25 professional fights.

    :lol: My whipping boys huddle together in a co-dependent network of bitchness, all trying to convince themselves they are not getting ****ing embarrassed on a regular basis, when anyone with a brain can see that I tool these trolls every time.

    HEADBANGER = my pinata that I beat on whenever I can be bothered dealing with his horrendous stupidity.

    "Irrelevant failure"? Everything I posted was fact. More pitiful lies and denial from esb's cowardly fragile cretin DIMINATA. You really are a deluded ****ing spastic.

    I don't start threads you dumb ****, as I've already said, so don't keep making a fake challenge you thick ****. Post your best threads. Seeing how you're the esb punchbag, I'll post your worst threads :lol:.

    Just take a look at the opening post. Cringe worthy.

    There is no point in trying to explain.

    Popkins misunderstands and sticks to his misunderstandings.

    It makes him a bit happier, it seems :dead

    More denial and delusion. You've again exposed yourself as legit crybaby PACFAN84/DIMINATA/kittikasem/agreement alts, so how the **** could you possibly claim to embarrass anyone? Your esb history is shameful :lol::rofl:patsch.

    DIMINATA = laughing stock of esb

    "Anyone with half a brain can see it." :deal
