    Headbander is gone, finished. Team Elite is you and BARNEY and you are slowly fading away. I dont need a cumputer to oust you. I cunduct my duties from my phone. Obviously you still have an old analogue button press. Hahaha

    if you are delusional enough to think guys like Veit are superduper champion opponents then thats your hat to wear. but dont force it onto others. You have been told that Veit is a middling contender time and tmie again, yet you still persist with failed cut and paste posts from yesteryear.

    Can you imagine ESB without team elite??

    Would be a free for all for hating trolls, with no one here to expose them and their entire family as toothless Hillbillies..:lol::deal

    He's 40 years old and only he knows if he still has the reflexes and physical ability of old. I'm sure if he felt he could get a belt again he would come back, the fact he hasn't indicates to me he doesn't have that ability or will any more. Any active version of Joe beats Ward comfortably imo.

    Ward ****s him up now...prime, or 50 years for now. Ward is simply the better fighter, obviously.

    Its bailey going full ****** again. Its nothing new. Calzaghe was a champion for a couple years and had a couple good wins. He isn't in the same league as Ward.

    who is unfortunately the onlyreally good prime fighter that Calzaghe really beat. I said this earlier.

    You are going in circles Bailey, so I expect you will mention it again on the next page.

    No. There are so many stories of fighters coming back when they were past prime or shot and then getting hurt or suffering permanent injury. Calzaghe is around 40, has all his marbles and is rich. He should enjoy his retirement. I applaud when fighters get out of the game with their health intact.

    hypothetical question i know as the fight obviously would never happen or happened as Calzaghe would never have come to America to fight Ward as Ward would never come out of America to fight Calzaghe

    Which is completely rubbish as Lacy was prime and had a far better SMW resume than over half of the current top 10.
    Reid was prime and had a higher rating than Calzaghe by some
    Woodhall was still world class and prime
    Mitchell was a 2 time SMW world champ and had only lost to Ottke by disputed SD and was prime
    To name a few. In fact Mitchell had arguably a better SMW resume than Froch as did arguably Woodhall.
    Also Eubank was still far from removed and 3 years younger than Froch who Ward was fighting and lets not forget Froch was coming off a Mdec over a 43 year old SMW journeyman

    What chance would you give Joe against Ward if he were to come out of retirement?
