I doubt JC would do it though, but this would be a big money fight and I'd imagine Calzaghe could get a lot for fighting Ward. I don't see it happening though, JC would lose his 0.
Jc wont take the risk. I am sure alot of jc fans will be on soon to defend his avoidance of fights that should have been but it never happened.
Jc, his dad and his camp are happy to stay indefeated and live in the bubble of invincibility..cleverly will be joining him soon as i heard he will be fighting dawson or hopkins in 2018!
Yes calzaghe is a great boxer but him coming out of retirement (whether he wins or not) will get the ultimate stamp of approval.
Fight ward in his hometown and then retire..jc has amazing stamina and great boxing skills, after old boy hopkins retired him he needs to redeem himself once and for all.
Frank warren got tired of all the fake injuries he used to have..no more excuses.
Lol;d
I can see why Ward, needs Calzaghe because Ward can't draw FLY'S.;)
Lol
I knew you would pop up quickly!
Its true, ward doesnt draw the crowds but he gets the job done.
Hopkins wasnt Calzaghe last fight:rolleyes: Hopkins went on to beat Pavlik and Pascal. Jones was Calzaghes last fight, just a fuck around really, although Jones did go on to beat Lacy and Sheika which means fuck all.Quote:

I dont thonk Calzaghe would be interested unless it was mega money but is Ward enough of a draw for anyone to be willing to offer good money? We know Calzaghe can sell tickets, he got over 50,000 fans in for the Kessler fight. Ward cant sell out in his own home town so Joe would be the draw but they are just talking out there asses. They think beating a weight drained fighter that Pascal beat makes them something special.
There is absolutely no way that Calzaghe would consider trying to make super middle now, it would have to be at light heavy but then there would be no titles at steak, so Ward would need to move up andtheres no guarantee hed beat anyone at that weight. just trying to get some publicity off Joes name;D
Just like a Pit Bull, with a bone.;DQuote:

I do know Ward has beaten as many top 10 ring ranked fighters at 168 that Calzaghe did over a decade. Ward did it in 2 yrs and 10 months. And Ward also beat the top fighter at 175. All in 2 yrs 10 months.
Calzaghe fought behind undeserving mandatories for too long. He could have beaten everyone, but he faced easier foes for too many years.
I spent no time at all, Calzaghe you forgot Dawson came down in weight, were Joe moved up in weight.;)Quote:

Lets all agree that jc has got great qualities like stamina, great boxer and very fast. He is undefeated.
but hatton went up in weight to fight a p4p floyd and p4p pac on there terms. He has two losses but more balls than the welsh dragon (lol) will ever have!
when it takes a fighter a decade to fight the same number of ring ranked fighters as a guy who does it in 34 months, then a fighter is wasting his career. As Joe C spent a great %of time doing so. And when Joe C moved up. he moved up to fight 2 guys in their 40s.Quote:

Joe C could have been an all time great. He had that kind of talent. he didn't have that kind of ambition. I feel like whoever you want to blame (him, promoter, manager, all 3) cheated the fans. The top 3-4 guys in each generation need to reach for the stars .Be as special as possible. If anything overreach in their ambition.
It is a much bigger mistake for a fighter like Joe C to be fighting undeserving mandatories for quite a while than for him to fail because he went for too much. Same for RoyJones and some of the subpar competition he faced in the 1990s.
Roy jones moved up in weight many times and was the heavyweight champion of the world.Quote:

What opponents you face, has a lot to do with how much money you make, boxing is a business first it'sQuote:
