    In a battle of 2 elite super middleweights, who would win in a battle of Joe "The Italian Dragon" Calzaghe vs Andre "SOG" Ward.

    How would Ward's inside game do against Calzaghe's elite upper body movement.

    Both are slick fighters but Ward is slicker than Calzaghe.

    this ought to bring out the legendary European - north American rivalry among posters like no other fight!
    very difficult for me to pick an outright winner, but i'd have to lean towards andre ward, simply because his win over kovalev trumps any win against a prime fighter that Calzaghe has comfortably
    if Calzaghe hadn't of wasted so many years as a frank warren fighter, he could have tested himself against the best fighters in the world when it mattered, and it might be easier to give him credit - but he chose not to

    For the love of God and for the 101th time...lol
    Calzaghe UD Ward.
    Calzaghe equals or trumps Ward in all departments: skills, workrate, stamina, speed, footwork, punching power, offense, defense, slickness, adaptability and chin.

    LOL Ward and relatively easily most boxing experts would agree Ward by UD or late stoppage.

    That's a good fight, I would loved to see that one! I'm not sure how to pick a winner but I'm leaning toward Calzaghe.

    The common quality opponent is Kessler and Calzaghe impressed more in that fight than Ward did. I had Kessler winning both fights before hand but Calzaghe really took the fight to Kessler and beat him up while Ward clinched and dirty boxed to a win.

    Calzaghe is very underrated.

    You're 100% spot on, Calzaghe would outpoint Ward and win in the UK, or he'd outpoint Ward and get robbed in the US.

    A fight we'd all like to see. But how it would play out we'll never know.
