    Of course, we have to wait to see if Andre can get past Froch but based on what you've seen so far, how do you see this fight going?

    Calzaghe just because of pure workrate, not even minding that he can just about adjust to any style out there.

    If it's today, then this question is messed up, because ole' Slappy is already retired for 3 years or something.

    I guess this is prime Joe vs current Ward, and then I can't see any other outcome as Joe the slapper by UD. (even in Oakland!)

    Prime Calzaghe would beat this young, developing Ward (not easily, though).

    Ask again in 3-4 years time.

    I miss Calzaghe to bad he didn't get to fight all the best of his era, like so many others, for whatever reason. He would UD Ward, he can do what Ward do, but with a higher workrate and better punch if he wants, unless you count Wards head as a punch.
    Also Calzaghe is more experienced, let's se if Ward can get better

    now its 50/50 would be at 175 or catchweight around 180. prime vs prime, Joe UD 117-111 he would embarrass ward half the fight, in his prime (around 04) he was hard to hit aswell as being able to adjust to a fighter.
