Ward Calling Out 40 Year Old Calzaghe

Ward is the real deal. He'd destroy Joe of today. I still think that a prime Joe would find a way to beat ward on the cards though...

 

slappy wasn't exactly my favourite fighter but by your logic above, calzaghe was "prime" when he fought hopkinsrofl

To make it worse you actually think hopkins owned slappy too:rofl:rofl

Calzaghe was done when he fought hopkins.. And even then it was a close fight more famous for hopkins rolling around feigning some kind of injury.

Joe did slap but one thing for sure, no way would ward stop him nor would he dominate him.

 

Calzaghe's been retired for 3 years and he's still in his prime

 

Agreed - a prime Joe was a force to be reckoned with.

It's smart from a financial perspective from Andre, but a dangerous one from a legacy standpoint because he'd not only be expected to win over a 40 year old guy who's been retired for years, but expected to destroy and shut him out.

If the fight was even remotely competitive, all that would do would lead people to say "well, if 40 year old Calzaghe could hang with him, imagine what a prime one would do?" And if Andre takes him out easily, he's beaten a shell of a fighter who's been coking it up since retirement.

It's a better legacy play for Ward to go clear out 175.

 

wonder what the cobra would make of this when he been calling out joe for years

:bbb

 

Did Ward really call JC out? He's a ****ing idiot if he did:twisted:

 

Hmmm. Remind me, how many times did Calzaghe fight outside Wales?:huh

 

yeah ward is a "dumbass" for trying to make a fight that would make a ton of money by the 1% of effort mentioning his name and knowing full well its not gonna happen". If he called out GGG , he would go from beating up a "weight drained" light heavyweight champion to picking on a "little small" middleweight champion :rofl:rofl
the guy wont win with any of you haters......

 

the fight would never be made for obvious reasons, but ward would travel to the UK for this, that would be a given...especially being he is the one trying to sell it by calling him out and joe being close to 40, joe being able to sell 35,000 tickets. it would be huge. but just a pipe dream and something to say for a sound bite after his latest fight...

 

I hope the fight never happens. Calzaghe was on the slope when he retired a few years ago and he's been living hard since. Obviously money is the only issue here.

I'm not sure that Ward would cross the road for a fight, never mind the Atlantic.

 

no his trainer and manger did

 

Couldn't agree more!
