I haven't spent alot of time thinking about who would win the fight.
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.

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.
If Calzaghe's ambition had matched his talent, he would have done so much more. Instead he was more than happy to face undeserving mandatories.
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.
The sad thing is jc has set the blueprint for cleverly who is going the same way..at least enzo mac had the balls to fight the best in his divison in haye..jc never did and never will.

What opponents you face, has a lot to do with how much money you make, boxing is a business first it's
about making a living. Calzaghe had many problems with his hands, so you may say injury diktats when you fight, Many great match up's never happened because, of injury it's part and parcel of the
fight game is it not.
