    I think he would have boxed all their heads in. Too much speed, volume, reflexes, confidence and endurance. What do you guys think?

    PRIME Calzaghe. This is 33 year old Joe taking apart undefeated Lacy...

    I would have loved to have seen Joe vs GGG. That would have been a hell of a fight.

    Young Joe who still had power would have been an incredible match-up with GGG. But still Mature Joe had so much movement and hand speed and chin that it still would have been a war.

    Probably a better version of Joe vs Kessler.

    Would have went on a round the world cruise for 2 years with Sven Ottke and watched it on television with a half kilo of blow:bananaride

    He beats most with relative ease.
    Ward beats him 9-3 in the final.

    I agree with the first part 100%.

    While I tend to believe Ward probably would win, and perhaps by such margins, I am still inclined to logically view that one as a toss-up.

    So I say he beats everyone, with the one toss-up fight being Ward.

    Absolutely. I actually think prime Super Joe would have edged out GGG with some scary moments in that one. As for Ward... Joe would have outboxed him comfortably. Too much speed and volume.

    Froch has the best chance of a knockout against Calzaghe.

    I've always thought Joe would beat Ward. His work rate is just far far to high and it would look like RJJ vs Toney.. But on the same page I think Calslappy and Froch would be the more competitive fight. As again, styles

    Joe will be favoured to win all match up. He already beaten a prime Kessler, Froch is too slow to compete, even if Froch managed to get his licks in, calzaghe has superb chin, easy UD.
    Ward would not be able to use his spoiling tactic, too much speed and work rate to contain. Calzaghe might not have the power of a kovalev, but he will not be discouraged by ward coming in low jab and grab tactic. Joe has insane stamina, a gas tank of a Tank. Joe by 8-4 type of decision.

    Wins it or comes 2nd.

    Fight with Ward is a pick'em fight.
