    How would he do against the likes of Ward, Kovalev, and Stevenson?

    Beats Stevenson and Ward in my eyes but I'm not sure if he gets by Kovalev.

    Ward, Stevenson and Kovalev send him quickly back into retirement.
    I don't even believe he'd beat Chilemba or Alvarez.

    A big factor in this is what Calzaghe we place at 175. Are we talking about the old faded version that finally made the jump or a younger prime Calzaghe making the move up ahead of when he did?

    he would be some use against 40somethings but wont hurt the others, the major players would quickly finish him off.

    joe went to LHW not to make his name there but to make some retirement funds against oldtimer former legends whilst avoiding non-wbo guys at smw who would hand him serial losses.

    Him v.s Sergey would be a toss up for me. But he beats the rest imo.

    Comfortably beats everyone bar Kovalev. Still fancy him to outwork Kovalev too, but it would be close, Kovalev might get it by scoring enough knockdowns.
