    ??

    Jones was a forearm shot and Joe was 37...if you're discarding Ward's early career then discard the Bhop and Jones KD's. The young Ward is more applicable than a old Calzaghe, keep it consistant.

    Also irrelevant for the H2H discussion since Ward's feather fists arent going to do anything to Joe.

    It would have probably been worse for Calslappy if that shot had been with the gloves.
    There is a reason why nobody in MMA uses their forearm for punches.

    Calzaghe 37, Jones 38. Regardless its in relation to chin discussion genius. A fighters chin is more likely to lose resistance as they get older, having a poor chin at 25 and it magically getting better at 28 isn't commonplace on the other hand.

    both guys have been found. that's the point. calzaghe has been found throughout his career. calzaghe has a good chin and no one is saying otherwise. that is all that was said and youre getting snippy about it.

    Well when you leave posts like this...

    and miss the point of what you're responding to whether due to stupidity or just trying to deflect the argument i shouldn't have wasted my time.

    I think Ward in his prime would have beat Calzaghe in his prime. His ringcraft & defensive skills would have edged it. Would have been some fight.

    I remember Calzaghe-Bika being very close and scrappy. Comparable to Ward-Bika in scoring.

    no you're categorically discarding two knockdowns based on a broad assumption that you have nothing to support with other than a generalization which may or may not be true in this specific situation.

    but we'll discard them if it makes you feel better. get bent noob.
