    a prime RJJ would have raped calzaghe. a good fighter no doubt, but u dont have to look too far to find a whole heap of people who would have ****ed him up .

    Great skills, terrible resume. His career defining win is Kessler, enough said.

    Kessler = overrated robot

    BHop = old man

    Lacy = overrated trashcan

    USA point is a bit stupid. he could have stayed in Wales his whole career and had better wins and be more respected. 168 division was **** with him and ottke and Beyer avoiding each other like a plague.

    Ward might end up with a resume as good as Calzaghes, but lets not go over the top with it. So far his best opponents have been Calzaghes left overs. Nothing wrong with that, but he aint there yet.

    If he takes out Froch and Bute, there can be made a case they are equal.

    very good fighter who hung out in his hometown makes my top 100 but will fade to obscurity when the king of 168 rises to the top. Shitty technique, no power (look at his KO highlight reel . . . lol), got a gift decision against the best fighter he ever fought (Bhop . . . you got punished for his racist comments), delusional fan base who thought he stood a chance against RJJ, Toney and Bhop in their primes . . . whats not to love! lol

    Thats the top best in the division. at the time Joe was 27 Ottke was number one. they never fought.

    Wards got plenty of time to achieve what Joe did. Calzaghe didn't unify untill the Lacy fight when he was in his mid thirties.

    Calzaghes run after Lacy has his best wins naturally. its the years before hand which **** me off and the complete denial of his fans about this period.
