    Ward on a potential match up with Calzaghe and Joshua:

    "Anthony Joshua. He doesn’t have the style, he’s not like a big man, like George Foreman. George knows how to tie you up and walk you back and wear you down. [Joshua’s] trying to box and be cute as well. I can look out for that right hand a lot easier when you fight like that, so Joe Calzaghe would have been a tougher fight. You gotta deal with the volume; you gotta deal with the angles; you gotta deal with the southpaw stance, and you gotta find a way. A different style, and a different mentality."

    Not sure, but as far as talent goes, Aj is an absolute scrub compared to both these fighters

    Probably would favour ward in all honesty

    Lol is he seriously suggesting he could beat Joshua? Comical. The guy was knocked down and gifted a decision vs Kovalev.

    This is hyperbole. Ward doesn't really believe this. He knows that he can fight the perfect fight and then one random punch in round 11 could turn his lights off.

    Delusional creep loses to both. Even in Oakland with his 5 weapons and obligatory home ref and three home judges. Only difference is he gets carried out on a stretcher vs AJ

    Ward is a clown. Boring fighter and only got as far as he did because of paid refs letting him fight dirty.

    He would get battered by ****ing Del Boy never mind Joshua. Skills arent enough when you're dealing with that kind of size and strength disparity.

    Is this a recent comment? AJ should have called Ward out and slept him.
