    Ward diving into Kessler headfirst is evident eden in this video, the rest of the headbutts you can count rewatching this foulfest, I can't say which rounds because I last saw this fight years ago

    We also have to note that Kessler was past his peak when he beat undefeated and prime Froch. :good

    You would think he would, especially considering that Kessler was injured going into that bout, LMFAO.

    A green timid Ward with no title fights did a better job against a primed, more seasoned, non injured version of Kessler. The facts don't lie.

    Don't understand this post. You're criticizing Ward's style of fighting yet praising Slappy Joe? :rofl Do I have to post his career highlights?

    Based on what though? Slappy Joe slapped his way to a UD against an injured Kessler.

    A green Ward beat up Kessler and made him quit.. LMFAO.. the guy didn't ask for a rematch for a reason. He knew who the better man was.

    Slappy Joe slapped his way to a close UD against an injured and timid Kessler 3 years before his best career win. These are simply facts.

    We both know that Roy was helpless against any top level guy at that point. Also, Joe opened up a recent cut that had not long healed.

    The Ward fans really don't know what to do with themselves. Imagine their disappointment at the realisation that the whole super six tournament was set up to find an heir to Calzaghe.

    I appreciate Ward as a talent but in reality he has only got two really good wins and one of those was marred by persistent clinching and head butting.

    I don't give a **** about him draining an overrated Dawson, beating an overweight and mediocre Abraham, never any good Allan Green or the likes of Edwin Rodriguez and Paul Smith. He's not been relevant for a long time and his idiot fans need to accept that.

    Of course he can change that, particularly at LHW but I can't see it. He's a prima donna who doesn't understand he ISN'T a draw.

    It was a tournament to see who the best SMW in the world was after Slappy Joe retired. Kessler and Abraham were the tournament favorites, Ward was a green unknown. Ward easily dominated both of them and eclipsed Slappy Joe's career without really having to do much.. LMFAO.

    Also, tell me, when in the HISTORY of boxing was the p4p number 2 irrelevant?

    excellent, a cowardzaghe fan admits that Kessler wasn't injured for his fight with ward, simply picking up the injury in thenfight.

    whilst with zaggo, zaggo waited 9 years for a decent titlist to pick up an injury and then suddenly challenge him to come to Cardiff san#and fight him knowing he could win vs an injured decent fighter.

    46-0 , 15 years unbeaten 11 as world champion (at 2 weights) There is a thin line between love and hate. You`re making out you hate Calzaghe but I think you`ve got a serious man crush going on DirtyDunce. :D:D:D

    Joe went undefeated at SMW and held that WBOgus belt for 10 years.

    Yet he barely fought any of the top rankers during that time.
