    Well the poll does stipulate "who has the best chance", so even if you think there are two, which one of the two "would have the best chance".

    I'd say ward. No else with the exception of froch can take Joe into a brutal affair. Ward, for all his natural talents is a ruff fighter and has good size for the division. Bika and bhop took Joe down a rougher path than usual and had some success even though both lost. Bhop to old and not enough activity. Bika to raw not refined enough. But ward has output and he's rough with an above average skill set. I'd take ward in a tough sd

    I see both AA and Ward beating him easily, Dirrel has an excellent shot, he would beat the over rated Kessler (again) and Froch. Green is under rated on these boards mostly because of his lose to Miranda (were he had something seriously medically wrong with him) but if he is healthy he has the power to hurt anyone @ 168 but I think joe beats him. As for Taylor even joe's ***** slaps would knock him out . . .LMFAO!

    Man I am So sick of hearing about calzaghe. I wish he would come back and AA KHTFO so all this BS would stop.

    I think they would be ok. Kessler has called for Calzaghe many times, and he was quite sure he could win. Calzaghe answered that Kessler would do better if they met again, which is why he doesn't do rematches (yeah, Joe was actually unusually honest there for a fighter).

    calzaghe loses to ward DEFINITELY. dirrell and green also light him up in tough fights that i can't call. bottom line is calzaghe can't fight someone who can move. anybody decent at BOXING will give him problems. of course, he still beats them. but these guys are very good at boxing and can definitely exploit calzaghe's overrated defense and weak punching power. he could barely touch a 43 year old hopkins with a real punch. these yopunger guys box circles around him.

    Definitely eh?

    Well if it's definite that means its fact.
    If it's fact that means there is proof.
    If there's proof you can provide it, can't you?

    still cant believe he never gave Hopkins a re-match...could have been a great trilogy for both of them to end their careers on...Joe was too scared to lose.

    Nope. but i'm confident that ward would've won. calzaghe can't fight people who hit and move.

    that's cuz he knows he should've lost the first fight. even his pops thought he was losing.

    As evidenced by all the times he lost to guys who can hit and move, isn't it.

    he only fought one. Hopkins. and he did get his ass whipped that fight. he probably landed 3 real punches the whole fight.

    Calzaghe would have had max oints after round 1 no matter who he had met. But I think it is possible that he could loose in a semi or final to someone he previously met.

    If I had to put money on it I would probably go with Calzaghe though... but almost impossible to know.

    I'm far from a Calzaghe lover as you can get, but even I know he would undress AA more so than Dirrell did. :yep
