    1. Someone tell me which top undefeated fighters Ward has beaten?
    2. Tell me which top undefeated world champs Ward has fought?


    Lets read the answers
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Andre Ward............VS.............Joe Calzaghe
    Froch.....................................Kessler
    This content is protected
    (Kessler beat Froch)
    Kessler...................................Eubank
    This content is protected

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

    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)
    This content is protected

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

    Buchanan (?????)......................Sheika
    This content is protected
    (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)
    This content is protected
    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:

    How did it fizzle out at the end, when he finished with Bika a future SMW champ, Kessler a unified SMW champ and future champ, Hopkins the LHW and future champ and Jones

    Are you aware that Pudwill was a late sub for A Echoles? Probably not

    17 of the 24 world title fights Calzaghe fought in, were against fighters who were or became top 10 rated

    Yes I was.

    But what about his other p*ss poor defences like Manfredo? Jesus, this was in Joe's PRIME as well!

    Manfredo was a fight to build interest in Calzaghe against Hopkins in America, as Manfredo was recognised due to the contender series. also Manfredo was rated at number 10 as SMW by the Ring mag when they fought, I think due to his KO of Pemberton

    antwun echols never even signed. pudwill wasn't a late replacement, it was joes intention to fight a weakling all along.

    he used echols' name to keep himself on the undercard of shot tyson. no way joe is going to get in ring to lose to echols.

    What's the No.1 SMW on Earth doing facing the No.10 SMW out there? That's Joe all over. Fight someone not worthy of a title shot.

    - Herol: I know that. That's the story of Joe's career.

    Can you imagine if he was still around for the Super 6? Jesus, you'd have needed a gun to get him in the ring!

    Even in his own book he admits that a fight with Roy Jones would be utterly pointless. Fast forward a few years later and he's fighting him!

    Joe's record is so padded that nuthouses are asking to use it!

    answer, he wasn't no.1

    in fact Kessler was number 1 in Europe by a long mile, owning and defending multiple titles multiple times unlike joes creeping around fighting weaklings for the wbo.


    caltaards like to rewrite history.

    joe did briefly take the number 1 spot by beating injured Kessler in Cardiff, but relinquished it instantly when he relinquished the titles without even trying to defend them nor offering a rematch with Uninjured Kessler.

    Anyone feel that Joe had major doubts about himself? Seem's that way to me.

    yeah well at least he manned up in his last few fights - he became a proper titlist in those last few lacy onwards.

    sadly that only amounts to about 3 or 4 legit defences - which means hes not HoF at all.
