The fact that Terry O'Connor doesn't even react to that shot shows you the amount of danger Manfredo was in as well.
I think that Ward is a special fighter. In a couple of years he could be exceptional. I think he has the potential to be an absolute nightmare for Calzaghe. No disrespect to Froch, Abraham, Kessler and Green but I'd like to see Ward against a real top notch fighter who's not so predictable before you can get a real sense of how this fight might pan out. If they were to fight, you'd have to think that Ward would sit in the top 3 in Calzaghe's list of opponents.
