Talk that if Ward wins the S6 and beats Bute his resume will be better than Calzaghes

but it does mean alot for Harrison and Degale.

 

Ward already has a better resume than Joke Calslappy

 

if Ward wins the super 6 undefeated AND beats Bute, Ward >>> Calzaghe.

 

Bailey, I'll take 5 five solid wins in the Super 6 + a convincing win over Bute over Calzaghe's entire career any day of the week...

People can view and analyze fighters any way they wish to validate their positions.

The sum total from the quality opposition (overall talent, skill, etc.) composed of today's versions of Kessler, Green, Dirrell, possibly Froch or Abraham and the Super 6 finalist + Bute.... surpasses Calzaghe's wins that truly enhance the quality of his own resume (Lacy, Hopkins, Kessler).

I don't care about fighters and the way they are promoted. I value solid wins versus pure talent first.

 

That's another debate that the thread starter could make...

Calzaghe's prime skills versus Ward's prime skills can turn into a good debate.

At this point, I personally favor Calzaghe's overall skills over Ward's.

 

the tournament also takes down that shield of being protected and given picked opponents..

The fighters with that "0" entered knowing they would be at a greater risk of remaining undefeated.

 

quality opponents instead of quantity

 

I would take anytime now, Bute & all fighters in the Super 6, except possibly Green, to convincingly defeat the past versions (when Calzaghe fought them) of those guys you mentioned.

 

Ward is in his mid 20's right now and it took Calzaghe how many years to accumulate his supposed signature wins? My point is that Calzaghe has had a full career and Ward's career is just starting out. No young fighter should surpass any so-called ATG this quickly. It shows you how paper thin Calzaghe's accomplishments really are.

Resume doesn't mean you're a better fighter obviously, so there's no need to even bring that up. Kessler's resume was better than Ward's and we saw what happened there. Ward had much less experience than Kessler or Calzaghe and he beat Mikkel much easier than Joe did. I also don't need to read the first page because I already know that Joe's "legacy" is a joke.

 

Bute doesn't have a lesser resume than the version of Lacy prior to meeting Calzaghe + talent wise Bute is in another league also.

Dirrell without any other guys' accomplishments, is a better talent than Mitchell, Veit. Beating him equals a better win.

Up to recent years, Valuev was like 46-0...did that make it an outstanding accomplishment to beat him ?

 

I would say he's very close to Calzaghe callibre resume already, if he wins super 6 he easily exceeds it.
