How would Calzaghe do in this SMW era?

Joe Calzaghe dominates Froch. Dirrell is a problem for him but Joes pressure and abilty to adapt would see him eek out a decision. Ward and him is about as even a match I can think of. Would end in a super close decision which would be argued for years

 

He would have big problems with Dirrell, and Ward, possibly Bute. He would feast on Froch, Kessler, Abraham, Steiglits etc.

 

are all you Yanks the most pathetic insult to intelligence and boxing knowledge, or is there one amongst you lot of drips that isn't full on ****ing ******ed? :think

did you see a prime Joe Calzaghe by any chance, or are you being the ****ing ignorant that your country supply in droves? :think

Joe had power when in his prime, was stronger, faster, better chin and much better balance...

a prime Joe would absolutely **** any version of Ward i have seen. 5-6 and it's over. domination at it's best.

the past prime version of Joe that most of you drips have seen only would win a wide decision against any version of Ward i have seen.

Joe avoided no one. that is a fact you sad insecure, disrespectful bag of worthless scum. :deal

tell me about Bika who had been out of the ring for 18 months and took a prime Ward all the way to the wire? or, like most of the drips in your country, do you think Ward won clearly, thus showing that you Yanks can's score for **** and seems to be a disease that is wide spread.

it was Ward who avoided a fight with Bute. a fight that a lot were talking about, so there was no excuse to avoid it. he instead took on the zombie that is Chad Dawson, who, check this out, was drained all the way to the 168 division :rofl

priceless!

Ward is now **** scared of fighting away from his crooked refs and judges in the UK against Carl Froch...

and you have the ****ing cheek to slag Joe off? you waste of breath!

the Yanks on this forum give a tasteless image of what Americans are... ****S!

Joe is also a whole lot more talented than Ward and has a lot more to his game. Ward holds on, headbutts, bores you to death and pushes fighters like Allen ****ing Green against the ropes like he's some sort of monster by refusing to fight in the open.

cheats and should have been DQ'd in the Kessler fight.
beat an Abraham that had lost his last two.
struggled with a ring rusty Bika.
was going to fight a drunk that hadn't done anything for years in Pavlik.
held on to Froch like he was drowning in the deep sea.

it's just ****ing embarrassing. and so are you along with most of the clueless Yanks on this site.

now that's the truth!

 

a prime Calzghe would show Bute that he didn't belong in the ring with him by wiping him out in 2-3 rounds. pathetic excuse for a challenge is what it would be.

and Dirrell?? :rofl:rofl

 

****in dumb post.

 

that you Enzo? :think

 

no. i just get sick and tired of the silly talk from over the pond. it has no merit in any way shape or form.

do you really think that fighters like Bute and Dirrell would come anywhere near to beating Calzaghe? hell no!

Ward included. :deal

 

46 tried....

 

dirrell again? he is not even in the game now.

 

no i dont mate. Ward is a great fighter, but he relies too much on dirty **** he wouldnt get away with in a neutral country, and his stamina and chin are suspect

thats far far too much to give away to someone like Calzaghe


loved your outburst btw :good

 

Why Dirrell? Dirrell showed that he could out-box relatively one-dimensional fighters at world level when he fought Froch and Abraham but neither of them is anything like the same style of boxer that Calzaghe was. Calzaghe is a completely different animal to Froch or Abraham - in a completely different league in terms of talent and ability as well - and Dirrell has done absolutely nothing to prove the would be capable of being competitive with Calzaghe let alone be good enough to give him "big problems", he does not have anything in his resume, anything in the performances that he's given, to prove that he would pose even the same level of threat to Calzaghe than Richie Woodhall did.

 

How can people say Ward would beat him when Calzaghe beat Hopkins.

Joe was the king of that hustle and tussle, frustrate your opponent kind of style and he didnt need to headbutt, clinch excessively or do laps around the ring.

He would have easily beaten Ward.

 

"Easily?" no way.. You are going to tell me that 44 year old Hopkins was not easy but Ward would be?:huh Ward's ability to pull a fighter out of his game plan and make an ugly fight is right up there with Hopkins.

Joe may very well win, but Andre Ward is a brilliant fighter, like him or not, no one has an easy night, except maybe the Jones who beat Toney.

 

who they fought and WHEN is how you assess a fighter's career
if you've ever wondered how a good fighter like calzaghe gets so much stick from non-british posters (who have followed him their who life probably) despite his record (which is immaterial), then you need to learn the 'who they fought and when' mantra

 

Calzaghe beats all of them easily. Cept for Ward.
