    He'd be about 40 by now wouldn't he? after 4 years out the ring there's no way he'd beat a twenty something guy who's just hitting his prime. I'd take Calzaghe as he was only shortly before retiring, the Kessler and Lacy fights, over the Ward of today though, I trhink Ward is very good but his recent fights flatter him. Weight drained Chad Dawson doesn't reflect the true capabilities of Dawson or Ward, the super 6 fights he had worked out niicely for him as he got 3 guys with similar simplistic styles, Calzaghe was very different he'd have caused Ward all sorts of problems

    Dawson..................................Lacy (Lacy a proven SMW and winner of 5 SMW title fights. Dawson no pedigree at all at SMW)

    Abraham.................................Mitchell (Mitchell a 2 time SMW champ who had never been clearly beaten, only lost by debateable SD in Germany to Ottke, had KOd long time SMW champ Liles, beaten a future SMW champ twice, compared to AA who had done nothing at SMW)
    This content is protected

    Bika.......................................Brewer (Bikas best win became Manfredo, Brewer had beaten H Graham and was a SMW champ)
    This content is protected
    (Bika was a Calzaghe left over at that time and had been out of the ring bar less than a round for a while)
    Green.....................................Woodhall (Woodhall a SMW champ, who had beaten a reigning SMW champ, a world rated former champ, a future SMW champ and Branco a world rated SMW who became WBA LHW champ, who at SMW beat R Reid and G Johnson who when old and shot KOd Green)

    Miranda...................................Bika (Bika now a top 5 SMW had drawn with 3 time SMW champ Beyer)

    Buchanan (?????)......................Sheika

    (Sheika was coming off a win over G Johnson and was a top 10 SMW at the time)
    Camou (?????)..........................Veit (Veit a SMW title holder who had a fair resume, better than at least 2 of the current top 5 SMWs)

    Then include the
    This content is protected
    win and then the other top 10 SMWs and its clear Calzaghe is well ahead. I could have put
    This content is protected
    ahead of Green, Camou, Miranda, Buchanon

    Very clear but nobody will have a sensible answer to say otherwise, it will just be a lame Faileys losing it answer when they cant debate against

    Somebody tell me how Ward has done more than that.



    Nobody can counter the above or answer the questions. In fact they hide from the questions :lol:

    Just imagine how badly this would hurt the nuthuggers if Calzaghe came back and beat Ward! Mitchell, Brewer, Lacy, Sheika, Manfredo, Jones & Hopkins you would have to add Ward and then another whole load more of excuses

    Ward beating Kessler is better than Calzaghe beating Eubank in my opinion..

    I also rate Ward's win over Dawson higher than Calzaghe's over Lacy.. Lacy turned out to not be very good... Despite Dawson not having a pedigree at SMW, he is a much better fighter than Lacy.

    I agree, Calzaghe is still the greatest SMW, but it is not a total wash, like this post insists.
     
  8. What has Bad Glass Jawson done to make you claim he is better than prime Lacy?

    He fought average Tarver and drained Adamek. He got a gift against ancient journeyman plodder Johnson. He went life and death with a blown-up Matthew Hatton look-a-like. He then got thrashed by an off-duty Haitian policeman. :oops:

    He then was weight-drained and a zombie who had been KO'd by shot Miranda in sparring, and then was KO'd by feather-fisted Ward.:rofl:patsch

    Jawson has ALWAYS been a HBO hypejob with a Glass Jaw.:deal
     
  9. You don't half talk a lot of shite.:rofl
     
  10. Yes, Popkins. He also had countless other alts. Don't think dinovulva is Popkins though, for all his flaws, Popkins could spell.

    Dinovulva actually reminds me of ousted pervert hagman1989. Similar posting style, atrocious spelling, and a tendency to display unparalleled stupidity with every post.:lol::rofl:patsch

    he has been retired too long so he has diminished, and Andre is on top. Joe would probably lose a wide decision

    Team Elite is crumbling by the wayside. Do you think nobody has noticed you're absence since Headbander got thrown out? Without your sister here to protect you you've been hiding away afraid to surface leaving Barney here alone fighting a stupid Calzaghe crusade he's slowlly losing by the day.

    Its no coincidence Team Elite fell to pieces around the time i showed up. You were a tepid candle of burning bull**** and myself and Loudon were the extinguishers.

    Calzaghe is the top P4P fighter in the history of the sport.

    Andre Ward is in the top 10 P4P fighters in the history of the sport.
