Having to head butt your opponent all night hardly qualifies as a great win. Ward is a cheat,simple. JC didn`t have to lower himself into the gutter like Ward when he beat Kesller fair and square,with a neutral ref. Monumental FAIL CASH!! :hi:
Unified 168 champ, held the Ring title at two divisions simultaneously, retired as a top P4P fighter, 9-0 vs current, former, or future champs...I can see how I'd have alot to be sour about. :rofl
If Kessler was a real champ he'd have persevered instead of complaining about the "hometown ref". Clash of heads happen sometimes. Man up. But, this along with Danny Green's one round stoppage over Jones, definitely shook up Calzaghe's legacy.
Ward won well. No major complaints here. Just can't all the 'how does this affect joes legacy bollocks!
Joe beat 2 belt holders in his day Lacy and Kessler Kessler gets beat by a guy with little fights and lacy well.....
Calzaghe fans are obviously pleased with Calzaghe's top 5 wins looking like BHop (Controversial SD) - But Calzaghe Fans like to believe BHop was in his prime, and there was no need for a rematch Kessler (schooled by Ward) - But Calzaghe fans like to believe Ward Cheated, and no way Kessler would have lost to Ward despite being out worked most the fight Lacy: (a consensus amongst everyone he was a hypejob) - But Calzaghe fans like to believe, Jeff Lacy wasn't a hypejob, but a HOF Eubank: (Chris was expected to lose) - But Calzaghe fans like to believe Calzaghe destroyed a prime Eubank, and beat the HOF who wasn't shot RJJ: (Consensus amongst everyone he was shot and expected to lose) - But Calzaghe fans like to say, Joe beat the greatest boxer of the 90's and made him bleed. RJJ wasn't shot, and JC also said RJJ is still fast Calzaghe, and his fans, and his dad like to believe that those 5 top wins are amongst the greatest when compared to other fighters top 5 wins.
Calzaghe >>>>>>> Ward/Hopkins/Kessler it is really simple - that is why Joe is the most talked about boxer on this forum (along with Pac and Money).
that's adorable but no. he's better than ward, better than kessler to be certain but better than hopkins? Not quite. Not at all really
like you can give ward half a chance v calzaghe. ward is a type of fighter made for calzaghe. it would be lacy 2.
