    Boone, Bika, and Kovalev have all beat him in the minds of any netral, no way he beats Joe Calzaghe

    Haha... it's happened. I was waiting for the Ward is 30-1 thread but you pushed the envelope to three loses. So ok, you've imagined five extra fights in his resume but nonetheless, you've made my day lmao!

    I think you have banged your head one time too many.

    You're right. Ward is ranked above the magician already for All Time easily.

    That's a fight I would of loved to see, at 168 I can't pick a clear winner.

    Here's the big difference between Ward and Calzaghe .

    You ready for it ??

    Here it comes...

    Ward is actually a Great fighter who actually has skill and is genuinely respected.

    Calzaghe is not a Great fighter who has no skill and is respected by absolutely no one .

    Kovalev beat ward hands down , as would Calzaghe . but saying bika or boone beat him is just going was way overboard. You'd have a better argument with saying if not for the constant head butts Kessler and froch would had or should had both beat him.

    And you have no case for any of those fights, later off the sauce

    I think all his wins should be changed to no contests the minute he refused additional testing, and refused to fight anywhere where he's not considered the home fighter and thus wouldn't get the benefit of the doubt by corrupt American judges and refs.

    An argument could be made his record is 29-1-1 but 28-3 is a stretch.


    Ward will never be on Calzaghe's level regardless.

    Great to welcome the educational Headbanger back to ESB.
    Had I known you were dropping in, I would have made sure that your return was given more of a welcome
    :ole::jump:

    I felt Boone won against Ward and thought it was beyond doubt that Kovalev had beaten Ward.

    I wouldnt be shocked if a rematch were to happen in Oakland
