Andre Ward vs Joe Calzaghe

It takes suprreme streght and conditioning to out muscle a huge like D-Rod for 12 rounds , especially when coming off a years lay off.

Ward would rag doll a string bean Joe (who had to starve himself at the weight) around the ring and punch through his non existant defence all night.

 

It wasn't as simple as that.

He turned down the three fight deal.

We went through this last month, and 3-4 links were posted.

 

Dino,

How's it going mate, nice to see you.

Yes, they obviously negotiated before they signed the contracts.

I don't know the specifics, but Andre was injured at that point, and he wanted a break.

With regards to Dawson, like you say, that was an exciting clash of styles, and it was seen as a great fight.

Unfortunately Dawson had a nightmare hitting the weight, but I don't think Andre would have signed to fight Dawson, if he'd have feared Bute. There's no logic to that in my opinion.

 

More like it.

 

sadly based on fiction, mine was on fact.

 

You always get the facts wrong Herol, which is why you have become a joke poster :good

 

it's the other way around buddy. Ward said GGG, Bute, Stevenson etc didn't deserve to fight him, weren't ready, did nothing for him etc. When did Calzaghe ever say that about a world champ unless he was fighting someone better instead?

 

he was always saying it

You on the other hand, need to include fighters outside Wards weight class in order to qualify your statement, about a fighter who has barely began his title reign and has years to fight these guys. OUTSIDE. WEIGHT CLASS. see the clue.

time to drop your JC bias and think clearly.

 

Fighters outside of weight class > imaginary fighters you can't name.

'He was always saying it isn't' good enough. Be specific. When did Calzaghe ever claim a world champion who was interested in fighting him hadn't done enough, didn't deserve it or something similar without fighting someone better instead?

I'll drop my JC bias when you drop your anti-JC bias :deal

 

no, you asked for a fighter that Joe fought that wasn't (according to you) a fossil. when LAcy was given, you started to make more excuses up instead of admitting you were wrong. again.

i also asked for the evidence that Joe was faking his injuries. but nothing.

you're a Troll, boy. that's all you are. a ****ing irritant. :deal

 

you're saying that i avoided the point.

you couldn't make that **** up.

 

no, the link doesn't work. but i know what was said by Wa55en after Joe left him. Wa55en got a lot of flak for it and rightfully accused of being bitter. Joes injuries were legit. he's had hand problems ever since the Amateurs. but if you can be specific about which fight seems to be the problem for you, i'm sure i can laugh at you once again. :good so get that deluded mind of yours started.

making big money offers to the biggest opponents out there is how it generally works in boxing Loudon. obviously not in your little warped mind of course. :-(

and you read this carefully!

Ward said that the super six winner had to face Bute. when he came out as the eventual winner, he quickly changed his mind. he first said that Bute had to fight a Froch to get the fight with him. but when the fight was signed with Froch, Andre was asked on Camera why it wasn't he who was taking the fight... he then said that he couldn't because he was now fighting Carl. even though it was Ward who said he had to in the first place.
Ward makes an idiot of himself on a constant basis. the guy needs to stay away from the media because he just contradicts himself all the time.

if Ward had of faced Dawson at LHW, then yes, no problem. but he made him him shed the weight to make the fight happen. it was a joke of a fight from that point. it meant nothing. a fight at 168 with Bute would have been the much better fight, no question.

the fight could have happened if Ward agreed to fight Bute at the time he fought Dawson. Bute wouldn't have gone to the UK to fight Froch. he only did that to get Ward in the ring.
if it meant that Bute would have been out of the ring too long, all his team would have done was set up a warm up fight in Canada and waited until Ward was ready to fight. simple. but continue with your constant stupidity.

there was no way that Ward knew that Froch was going to do that, hey?? well why did he pick Froch to win the fight then? go away you simpleton.

so you slag Joe off when he never ducked one fighter or refused to fight another calling him out, but when Andre comes out to the media and says that Adonis, Kovalev and Golovkin haven't done enough to get a fight with him, you make up excuses for him? Ward did the same thing to Bute as well. seems to be a habit of his doesn't it? but you go and find some other stupid **** to say Loudon, and you can waste more of my ****ing time going round in circles being wrong as you usually are.

i had no problem with the Rodriguez fight with him being out for so long. but when he comes out to media talking silly nonsense, it does kind of make him look a fool. i mean, if not those guys, just who in Wards mind are the fighters in or around his weight that are worthy?
