    Cowardzaghe has no chance.

    no chance, that is, of having the guts to climb into the ring with a prime LHW, nevermind an elite one.

    Well of course, he retired instead of facing off against Chad Dawson. In retrospect he could've taken him but maybe not. That was a fight people were clamoring for but no.

    He spent 11 years not fighting the guys he was meant to, he wasnt going to change then. Thats why they nickname him Cowardzaghe.

    Calzaghe wouldn't lose more than two rounds. No one throwing 25 punches a round beats him.
    Too much work rate, too much h
    andspeed, too much skills.. 10-2 Calzaghe. Easy work.

    he'll miss almost everything he throws, except the ones that hit his buddy welsh ref and do no damage whatsoever.

    Like Kov missed? Joe is twice as fast as those two. Ward would be eating left hands all night. And might not make the distance. There is levels to this game and Calzaghe is a full level better than Ward or Kovalev. Last Saturday clearly showed that.

    Kov just confirmed what we already knew. Calzaghe would destroy Ward.

    Calzaghe is faster, his inside game would demolish Ward, Calzaghe wouldn't be hit like Kov to the body and Calzaghe would cut the ring off better than Kov. He would boss the fight and I see it being stopped after 8 rounds, Ward was breathing heavy against Kov and suffering from Kovs work rate, Calzaghe is non-stop swarming punches and would overwhelm Ward. I am talking about shot bloated Calzaghe who beat Hopkins, prime Calzaghe sparks Ward out no doubt as his hands would be safe to do so.

    Ward lost to a shoe sales man and lost to Kov, Calzaghe never lost.

    Yes completely right.

    Calzaghe would dominate Ward, I mean Bika did very well against Ward, a shot old Bika when a shot Calzaghe put a beating on him.

    Calzaghe is light years ahead of Kov and Kov is clearly better than Ward too.

    Dawson was clamouring for it, the fans weren't.
    Calzaghe had his swan song, Dawson was an unproven fighter who was never that good anyway.

    Ward easily nullifies Calzaghe's speed. Kovalev if he lands like he did on Ward in the second round KO's Kalzaghe.

    Ward would have the same issues with Joe that he had with Kovalev, like Sergey... Joe was an arrhythmic fighter that the rhythm breaker would have a difficult time getting the timing of, then add in the volume, angles and accuracy, Joe would dominate him.
