Debate over. Andre Ward is the greatest SMW ever, well clear of Calzaghe.

    I'd like to see Ward vs Pascal in Canada or Ward vs Kessler in Denmark. Not interested in any other fight for him at the moment. I don't think the Martinez-Chavez Jr winner would fight Ward (it'll be Martinez and I think he's too small). Ward will fight Dirrell eventually, but he should wait and let Dirrell turn his talent and potential into proven class first. Dirrell has it all, but he's done nothing for years so Ward wouldn't get much credit for beating him now. Tavoris Cloud is another one to beat somewhere down the line, maybe George Groves too. Calling out Calzaghe is pointless, Ward would beat the living **** out of him and deservedly get zero credit because Joe must be light years from his prime now, plus doesn't he take charlie these days? Pointless.

    to make up for your complete lack of logic in your ENTIRE POST, you are scolding him for getting ONE letter and a single apostrophe wrong grammatically? Dont you care how you look to people reading your posts on ESB anymore??


    What can one say about the gulf between whole post error and one letter error. Bailey, you need to correct your entire post before you criticise a letter from someone elses. Just a kind observation, no doubt you'll retort in the same manner as you did above... or laugh off your fail as a joke?

    Then include the
    This content is protected
    win and then the other top 10 SMWs and its clear Calzaghe is well ahead. I could have put
    This content is protected
    ahead of Green, Camou, Miranda, Buchanon

    Very clear but nobody will have a sensible answer to say otherwise, it will just be a lame Faileys losing it answer when they cant debate against

    Somebody tell me how Ward has done more than that.



    Nobody can counter the above or answer the questions. In fact they hide from the questions :lol:

    When someone writes your're a dense twat, at least spell the lead up word correctly ie your're not your. I wouldnt have picked up on it, if it hadnt of been in that sentence.
    Still you sucking up to him should help.
    Anyway, are you going to try and answer the questions?

    clearly me pointing out it was your entire post that was in error hasnt helped you realise that you are much more massively at fault than the OP making a single spelling mistake.

    I'm a fan of both Joe and Ward, in case you want totry and dig your way out by diversion of accusing me of being a ducking Ward fan.

    and yes a grammatical error is in my post above, feel free to point it out so that you can an least win an argument on this thread. Lets face it the way Ward is carrying on, you will never win another argument again.

    You're an obsessive compulsive weirdo. The amount of words you put into this thread would indicate the workings of a madman.

    Taking only one point from this characteristically biased, ill-informed and generally ****-weak mess of a post...

    Ward-Kessler is obviously a better win for the following reasons:

    There is no arguement against that. The facts and common sense speak for themselves.

    People need to understand, when the realsoulja and the bailey on rare occasions (less than 1% of the time) agree on something it has to be the truth.

    http://eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=13745121&postcount=74

    Andre Ward may have the better quality wins but his top 10 SMW wins contain the likes of Buchanan and Camou. Joe Calzaghe had 21 SMW title fights so he would obviously have more depth. Give Andre Ward a couple more fights to push the likes of Buchanan out of his top 10 wins and then I would agree.

    Don't get me wrong, Ward is right on Calzaghe's heels in the SMW all time rankings.

    - It took Joe Calzaghe 9 years to unify, Andre Ward did it in 2 years.
    - It took Calzaghe 5 years to become #1 ranked SMW, Ward did it in a year.
    - It took Calzaghe 9 years to become the Ring SMW champ, Ward did it in 2.

    If you see the rate Andre Ward is moving, he would surpass Calzaghe in no time.

    You have to compare achivments and acual H2 abillity.

    Andre got the skills and is well clear from Joe on that one. As achomplishments go, Joe edges that one but just. In time Andre will be one of the greatest ever.

    yeah I would agree that Ward is now neck and neck with Joe and its close, I am certainly not claiming that Calzaghe is miles behind Ward.
    Its easy to argue that either is just ahead of the other, but Ward is the higher acheiving at the same age, whichever way one spins it.

    If you rate Ward-Kessler higher than fair enough, but stop being a muppet and actually watch Calzaghe-Eubank, it was a very good fight and the commentators and fans all praised Eubank's performance. He fought a good fight and wasn't nearly as diminished as you continue to make out, though he was somewhat past his best, it was still a very good win over a top fighter at the time.

    The fights with Collins were very close, as were the fights with Thompson (when Eubank was some 20 pounds above his natural weight!)

    :lol: at you trying to glorify Kessler's opposition between the Calzaghe and Ward fights. Everyone knows Kessler was at his best up to the loss against Calzaghe, he has steadily looked worse and worse with each outing. I remember watching him fight Bouadla on eurosport last year and even the commentators were noting how much he'd faded. Though take nothing away, Ward's win over Kessler was very good
