    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.
    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.
    Ward had TWO broken bones in left hand before fighting froch...he never pulled out.

    Calzaghe was told his wrist, injury was so bad he should stop boxing but he did NOT.

    Andre will be making great paydays without any help from Calzaghe! Calzaghe would generate plenty of interest but Ward does not need Joe. Don't misunderstand me, I like JC but Ward is as popular as Calzaghe ever was! Popular might be the wrong, I'll say well known instead.

    If jc spent the majority of his career not ducking warriors like glen johnson and fighting manfredos he would have been the best super middleweight ever.
    Nathan cleverly is waiting for bad chad to have a few more losses then he will fight him, beat him and be treated like a king like joe.
    What a joke.

    I'm not the biggest jc fan but he is too old now. But think he would ruin ward very easily. He is too durable and very quick with a high work rate that can't be neutralised. Even if he beat joe it wouldn't mean anything cos he is old now, but the fight would have to happen in Wales as don't see why a man should come out of retirement to fight that useless untalented

    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!
    Joe Calzaghe HAD great stamina, now he is having a great retirement.

    Haha! I hadnt thought of stamina but compare the last2 rounds of Calzaghe and Ward against Bika

    He was also slowing down against Froch and I think if Froch got his ass in gear sooner like he did with Bute that hed wear Ward out.

    True both are great winners and have plan B and C if it is not working. Joe should stay retired.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Well, I think Joe's ex of 5 years shows you all of the parallels between Joe Calzaghe the "man" and Joe Calzaghe the boxer.

    Jealous, cowardly, delusional and simply picking on people weaker than himself

    I've never been a Calzaghe fan, but...... calling a 40-year old out of retirement??
    Aren't there other fish to fry for Ward?

    A Daily Mail expose from a spurned ex dated April 2010? ooh! You have serious issues mate. He is a good looking chap and all that but I don't think you were ever his type to be honest
