    it didn't look that way to me when he fought Bika.he struggled,the scorecards were a disgrace,but expected when in Warddke's livingroom

    My bet would be on Ward over the two men he has already beaten. I woud take RJJ and Calzaghe over Ward in their primes. Calzaghe -Ward would not be pretty of exciting, but I think Calzaghe would eke it out with his attitude and volume of punches.

    Calzaghe would be an extremely tough fight. Difficult call.
    Ward beats Kessler.
    Ward beats Froch.
    Roy beats Ward.

    Ward butted Kessler repeatedly, but I can't remember him butting anyone since. Calzaghe beats Ward on volume, though it would be a very close fight. Ward would land the cleaner punches. Kessler and Froch lose to Ward every time, no matter the venue. They're simply not on his level. Prime Roy would have cracked Ward's defense, though he'd have to work for it.

    Ward beats them all on current form, except for RJJ.

    Calzaghe might take Ward in Wales using his 'biased Welsh ref stopping the fight for no reason at all' trick and home crowd support, but he would lose the rematch. Only of course he wouldnt rematch.

    So what your saying is : Not American, Not American, Not American . . . . AMERICAN! **** YEAH! OOOO SAY CAN YOU SEE!

    Seriously Bika was pounding on Ward and Froch had some (even if not much) Success. Ward doesnt have the stamina to keep up a fight for 12 rounds unlike Calzaghe. Joe wins a comfortable UD

    Prime Kessler is a hard one to judge because of his inactivity leading up to the first Ward fight (looks how the ringrust effected him in the Green fight) and Froch has and always will be Froch.

    Yeah, i'm the same as you on this, confident that Ward would beat Kessler and Froch again, confident that Roy would take him, i think fairly comfortably.

    Calzaghe fight is an either way one i think, not sure who would win it. Think they would definelty split a 3 way fight series

    Matters alot I think.
    Tell me what big SMW fights has an American SMW won in Europe? None
    Still lets not forget that American and American based fighters and Canadian and Canadian based fighters dont seem to be able to win big fights at SMW when fighting in Europe.
    Consider how Lacy, Dirrell, J Taylor, Bute, Pascal, Mitchell, Brewer etc all were beaten in Europe

    Consider in Europe

    - Bute, Dirrell, Pascal

    - Lacy, Manfredo, Pudwill, McIntyre, Jimenez, Sheika, Brewer, Mitchell

    - Schommer, Holmes, Close (I said based in America), Thornton, Essett, Jarvis

    - McClellan, Perez

    - Lucas, Sheika
    This content is protected
    - Mitchell, Gatti, Brewer, Tate, Butler, Pudwill, G Johnson, Hernandez, Bryan,

    This just gives an idea but do consider that out of those 28 fighters 21 were or became world rated in the division.

    Calzaghe would be the closest match.

    Its mostly US boxing fans who get paranoid about where a fight takes place, this assumption that a us fighter has never got a good decision abroad :nut

    What does help in Europe is that the boxing fans there are far louder, and back their fighters in huge numbers compared to US fighters
    And even travel to the US in far greater numbers than the US fans do to Europe
