Ward's a more complete fighter than Calzaghe ...

is that a new ESB saying?

 

What?

 

Everyone was supposed to be more complete than Calzaghe, but nobody managed to beat him.
Calzaghe is old, has damaged hands and is well past his best, so at worst would just clearly beat ward by UD.
Prime Calzaghe would get rid of Ward inside the distance without great fuss.

Ward was gassing against Froch and Bika, both were getting the better of Ward at the end of the fight respectively and slow Froch without the biggest workrate was getting to Ward at the end.

Tell me which top undefeated fighters or undefeated world champs has Ward fought?

 

How would Ward tie up Calzaghe when he would be taking flush shots on the chin and having to take short hooks and uppercuts when in close?

 

All Wards best wins date back somewhere to the name Calzaghe

 

you're itching to post that page long diatribe on calzaghe/ward aren't you?

 

nah not stamina, I think that is Ward's weakness and later in his career he will get stopped late by a fighter who has no right to beat him.

 

Not yet. Though that wouldnt be a bad post for here as even now when you know it, nobody has a sensible counter

 

he's had some injuries already at his age that could nag him. shoulder surgery is nothing to scoff at. we'll see about the stamina but he's had some not so minor injuries already.

 

So Ward is slower, has less stamina, doesnt punch as hard, doesnt have as good a chin, has a lower workrate, but you dummies think Ward can beat Calzaghe by holding him atsch and trying to be sneaky who has seen it all, who was successful in 24 world title fights when hardly ever on the back foot in his career. Yeah got it

 

Calzaghe turned pro injured and had many injuries, yet that didnt stop him winning.
Excuses already being made for Ward

 

I had it scored a bit wider for Calzaghe but Bika was brought up due to the inside fighting remark. All the infighting for Ward was razor thin action but Calzaghe especially in the last few rounds (been a while since iv watched it) really started to get the better of it inside.

Did Ward go from being a 190lb to 220lb HW?

I wasn't catagorically discarding the knockdowns, i was noting the inconsistancy with INTBUTT's comment towards their relevancy. You've once again disregarded the context and as i previously mentioned aren't worth my time. Trying joining the discussion when you have the reading comprehension of a 8 year old.

 

nah you're getting too fired up already. just calm down. the post i was responding too said ward's stamina was going to be his downfall later in his career. i was saying i see injuries being more of an issue than stamina.

 

haha damn you can almost see calzaghe fan's eyes well up with tears through the computer screen when you say anything that is percieved as a slight.

grow the **** up son and stop acting like the load your mom should have swallowed.

i actually like calzaghe and was happy as hell when he destroyed Lacy, but got damn some of his fans.... what a joke.
