    Joe Calzaghe left his home country and moved up to 175 to fight Ring champion Bernard Hopkins in the USA.

    But Ward is not a courageous ring warrior like Joe. Ward's a pampered, selfish prima donna.

    Joe fought contenders many times outside Wales, even though unlike Ward he was immensely popular and attracted huge crowds in his home country.

    Calzaghe fought in the USA, Denmark and Germany. Ward has never fought a single contender outside his home country.

    Ward will come to the UK and beat Froch if they paid him enough.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I'd love him to come over here and beat Froch, its a fight that would definately sell out a football stadium in England. Thing is Froch could make just as much money fighting people he can actually beat so I don't see them paying Ward too much.

    Agreed but eventually he will have to fight him to avenge his defeat.

    Since Ward fought at 175 in the amateurs, there can only be one reason he insisted Dawson fight him at 168: he wanted Chad to be weight-drained.

    That was unsportsmanlike, and very selfish for someone who calls himself the "Son of God".

    I give Calzaghe credit for coming over to fight Bhop and Jones, but he's not exactly "Road Warrior" Glen Johnson himself.
