    I'd bet my life that these slaps you're referring to would have you on the floor in a minute. :lol:

    Do slaps make someones face wobble like this? :patsch

    They split the first 8, in a real chess match. Calzaghe's volume means he lands on Ward, but also leaves holes for the American to exploit.

    I think Joe sweeps the last four. Ward has shown that he can tire, and nobody he's ever fought could set a pace like Joe Calzaghe could.

    The first and main point is calzaghe wouldnt be throwing 100 punches per round outside of maybe 2-3 rounds in which joe might get his way. Ward would dictate the tempo and once that happened calzaghe wouldn't stand a chance. No way this becomes a ko, but i see joe hitting the canvass at least once. Ward in a UD, but loses a couple rounds clearly.

    The fact that you want me to mention Jones and Hopkins proves you're on excessive amounts of Bacardi Breezers. Seriously, Jones has been past it for over 5 years going in against Calzaghe and Hopkins, whether you like it or not, was 43 years of age. If those are remarkable wins to you, then a few more drinks and surely you will consider the Eubank fight(Eubank coming off losses and two exhibition fights overseas) an ATG victory too. :lol: Watch Jones Jr.'s in-ring live open public interview before fighting Brannon where he openly answers a question regarding the career high paydays the likes of Benn and Collins turned down. An interview that involved the likes of Steve Farhood, Ron Borges and another member with Lampley as the host on live HBO. If Jones was lying, which you will surely yet cheaply claim, why didn't these guys openly address his remarks back when it mattered? I don't need "lies" or remarks to figure out Calzaghe was hiding in Wales, a simple look at his record proves it. The man was fighting can after can, the likes of Pudwell, Kebabi Salem, McIntyre, Sobot and other no-name no-hopers while Jones was legitimately unifying and wiping out divisions. By the way, Calzaghe's WBOgus title was a paper title, it was a vacant title he won fighting an ancient Eubank, surely you will claim that's false too and some unknown God held that belt instead. There's a reason Calzaghe dropped from P4P#2 to P4P#3 after his fight with Jones, because not only me but the logical boxing world saw that this was nothing but a joke only drunken British fans would support.

    This is exactly how I see it. The first 8 quite close but Calzaghe's workrate stealing it. The last 4 Ward is tired (from all the clinching and headbutting :yep) and Calzaghe wipes the floor with him.

    Lets get straight to the point? Would you take Jones' opinion, a guy who got busted taking steroids, or Calzaghe a good honest guy from a working class family who was clean as a whistle.

    Also regarding Hopkins, why did Bernard turn down a fight against Joe in 2002, when ****** offered $3 million?

    Alright guys, that's enough proof this is yet another Calzaghe troll, makes me wonder if Calzaghe actually has normal fans. Didn't take long, have fun. I'll be honest though, "Middle class, clean as a whistle", that actually made me laugh for real. :lol:

    Considering the fact the Hopkins - a master of dictating the tempo and screwing up his opponents rhythm - failed to close Calzaghe out or dominate him then I have serious doubts about Ward's ability to do so either. I dont see Ward as a better spoiler type than Hopkins.

    Now, I'd see this fight being close, and I could accept anyone picking Ward to win a close decision victory, but by UD with Calzaghe only winning 2-3 rounds? I dont think that's realistic, and it stinks of the similar anti-Calzaghe sentiment that permiated prior to his one-sided destruction of Lacy.

    If you'd like a debate...

    Why does Ward beat Calzaghe?

    :rofl:rofl:rofl

    This ****** just mentioned the Welsh Rabbit in the same breath as robinson and Leonard....:nut

    Joe wouldn't fight Antoine Echols or Glenn Johnson....no way he goes near Ward...

    Joe had his hands full with a shot to hell Charles Brewer....

    Because Ward is too strong on the inside and too much on the outside...and he doesn't slap...
