    I saw faded end of career Calzaghe in his last fight whilst blown up to LHW go up and clearly beat Jones

    LOL where did I try to claim that "no one thinks Ward is a spoiler"?

    Ward is a spoiler at times and is often in ugly fights but Hopkins is on another level.

    If you actually want Ward to be known as a boring, negative spoiler in the mould of Hopkins then all power to you LOL.

    As for Jones I've never said Calzaghe beats him.....once again you are talking out of your arse....but then again Jones was another US ROID cheat.

    "Hopkins is a spoiler and negative.....Ward fights nothing like this"

    you said that...then said this

    "Ward is a spoiler at times and is often in ugly fights but Hopkins is on another level."


    which one is it..is he a spoiler or not? i shouldnt expect you to pick a particular stance as you are a golovkin fan and used to playing either side to suit an argument

    Its funny how you rate Kessler because Ward faced him lol
    So you are now back tracking and obviously are aware that it was Hopkins who decided against facing Calzaghe. The fact you didnt want to mention that shows insecurity.
    Bad that you call Lacy C level. You called him that after Calzaghe beat him but before that he was the mini Mike Tyson

    Yes Ward isn't a negative 1 punch and hold spoiler like Hopkins.

    You are the one clamouring for him to be seen as such.

    Yeah no doubt. Many of these rejects trying to dismiss Calzaghe in here are just clueless and DKSAB. They should just STFU and watch a few PRIME Calzaghe fights and learn something. The guy was an awesome boxer who would have completely overwhelmed Ward.

    Prime Super Joe Mutilates Ward.

    nobody dismisses calzaghe..i like him...i think he was very good....but some of you guys are so insecure....your inferiority shows with each post....calzaghe isnt "dominating" ward or holding advantages in every category over ward......a prime roy would have made joe quit boxing.....and i genuinely like joe

    Calzaghe faced a shot to **** Jones and did Cal really beat Hop? No but Kov beat Ward and even knocked him down. Hop knocked Cal down and rocked him a few times. Dat was different doe! Foh lmao.

    there is pretty much no chance of getting joe to get in a ring with an elite like ward bar some terrible loss of form to ward, him reaching his 40s or getting injured.

    Ward would be fine with the fight, and handily outpoint him, perhaps stop.

    LOL man you are reaching here, is Ward a spoiler?

    At times of course he is but his game is more diverse than Hopkins, he has an ugly inside game but he is actually working as opposed to holding and feigning injury like Hopkins does.

    I've answered your question and as ive already stated I'm not the one comparing Ward to Hopkins.....if you think Ward is a boring, negative fighter like Hopkins then all power to you.
