    You didn't see Froch Johnson live lmao. The 114-114 was a joke. Froch clearly won and it wasn't close. You weren't watching the SMW division even then probably lmao. I can go back to the SMW's inception because i was watching then. There are fights that you haven't seen as far back as 1984 so gtfooh with Mark Baker, lmfao.

    Yes it is...
    Ward was alway a one handed fighter, calzaghe's feet were faster, he threw more punches. Stylistically he destroys ward. No way does ward beat calzaghe and i really really dont like calzaghe

    Foh, lmao. Both would've found it very difficult to beat each other. I don't know who wins. That's a comparison later on down the line.

    I dont think so. I dont think ward would land well on calzaghe and calzaghe's feet were fast enough to get him out of wrestling range. Add to that wards lack of a good right hand. Calzaghe wasnt better than ward or "greater" but he was a stylistic nightmare.

    I do agree that both would be a stylistic nightmare for each other. Ward is a superb boxer. Cal could fight inside with Ward but could he box with Ward. I don't know.

    I think an important question here is could Ward stop Calzaghe?

    I mean Joe certainly has a sturdy chin and Ward isn't known for his punching power but the fact remains Ward has a 100% ko record against southpaws.

    No im not. Stop trying to make a name for yourself. The theories you note are sound when you consider Calzaghe was never beaten. No triangle there

    No they're not because you're still not taking into account styles and at which point in the fighters careers the fights happened. You are being really silly now.

    Yes I did? Why lmao? You seem to have issues
    To some it was, not to all and some felt it went the other way as shown with the threads that came out after.
    I thought Froch won but felt it was competitive as did many others
    Well we both know thats not true and once again why lmao? You do that when you are losing a debate I notice
    So was I.
    Lets talk about that. Tell me then, when you were watching in 1984 who was the Scottish fighter that you were watching?
    Not sure what you are talking about but once again, tell me if you know of M Baker?

    When they happened. Well he mentioned about Hopkins win over Tarver and there was only one fight between the Tarver win and the Calzaghe loss and the Wright win he mentioned was just before the Calzaghe loss, so I dont see how that is silly

    Defend myself from what? Nothing to defend myself against. It seems you guys are more defensive and with the problem that the votes are high for Calzaghe
