    **** , you're a real sad little child..You couldn't beat me in a debate so you resorted to pathetic school yard tatics.....

    Remember this... . Dumbest **** i ever read in my life.

    "His problem is that he's boring, and has almost no fans outside America, outside of Oakland he has a few scattered around America. Ultimately, he's boring, and reminds me of Larry Holmes in that while he's a great fighter, he doesn't capture the public's imagination like e.g. Mayweather does. When the next SMW champ comes along, like George Groves who brings genuine excitement like Tyson used to, Ward will be forgotten about.

    You forgot Ward via technical decision. Someone needs to put a boxing glove on this guys head.

    I didn't see the "Calzaghe ducks him" option until too late. That would definitely be the case.

    A prime, 27 year old Joe was quoted saying "I'm not looking for tough fights." Showtime called him No Show Joe. There's no way in hell he takes on a prime Ward.

    Joe fought his biggest names when his earnings window was shutting. Make them both pushing 40 and the fight takes place then.

    A tougher fight than any Joe ever actually took. And he had enough power to keep Froch off him.

    Joe "I don't want tough fights" Calzaghe would just cherry pick guys Ward had already beat, just like he did with Sven Ottke.

    Calzaghes best weapon was he could adapt to any style. This with the fact that he had excellent footwork, cardio and handspeed I just can't see ward doing well against him.

    Styles make fights and I just think calzaghe is all wrong for ward... I actually think froch would have a few tight rounds with him as he would come to brawl and joes ego (all great fighters have one) would mean he would go toe to toe with froch for a couple of rounds windmilling just to show froch he could stay there with him.

    No, he had the footwork and timing to keep froch off, it wasn't the power. Also he is very good at tying people up but joe is even better, watch the lacy fight and see what joe does in the tie-ups to lacy's dodgy shoulder.

    :deal:deal:deal

    Say what you want about Ward vs Froch, but Andre tired noticeably towards the end of the fight, and Joe would take full advantage.
