Andre Ward v Joe Calzaghe

i go for Joe to edge it if were talking prime Joe against Ward of tonight.

 

Calzaghe would decision Ward.

 

Calzaghe has the physical strength to fend off Ward and outland him.

 

Would be very similar to the Hopkins fight. Main differences being that Ward is obviously a little fresher but Bernard is obviously more proven.

Very close, controversial and I can see how Calzaghe would have won it.

Froch was only 2 rounds away from beating Ward...

 

Ward. Although Calzaghe would land a lot more on him that Froch would due to his volume of punching. Be a lot closer.

 

Ward wouldn't like Joe's speed/workrate and willingness to throw. Joe fought as the star man had no fear of being countered. Ward would do well but i think he wouldn't like Joe's offense.

 

:blood Are you factoring in spastic judges into this fantasy match-up or something? Clearly he was way, way off beating Ward. You could make a clear argument that he didn't win a round, and he certainly didn't win more than 2.

 

Joe is faster, throws more punches and can box and brawl, I think Joe would win a close fight.

 

:roll:

 

Joe would outbox him over the 12 rounds. The fast hand speed and multiple shots wins it for him.

 

What?

 

calzaghe would never have went near ward or entered a tournament like the super 6.

he would be doing what bute is doing.

he was happy to fight the mcintyres/jiminezs/veits/mkerchians/salems (and almost getting KOd) etc.

He beat a Lacy who achieved nothing in the sport and who's best win up to that point was a win over shot Robin Reid.

Then he fought 40+ year old versions of Roy and Bernard and lost to Bernard on my scorecard, not to mention getting dropped by both 40+ year olds.

 

it would be a **** fight, Calzaghe preferred his opponents to lead and bring the fight to him, Ward wouldn't do that.

 

Sarcasm at this time of night Roe!!!:yikes
