I'd venture a guess at a 12 round Calzaghe SD.

I'd pick Calzaghe because he adapted to every style he fought and over came it, and while no one else can figure out wards holding and

destroying the enjoyment of a fight tactics, I believe Calzaghe would have.
Agree with the above , although it could go either way. One for the purists, I think it would've been a bit of a chess match.
I don't think it would have been pretty. It would have been very similar to Hopkins. I doubt Ward would live with Joes pace. He slows in the last few rounds and gets caught as he did against Bika. Joe wasn't just work rate. He was tough, took a very good shot was adaptable and believe it or not could punch.
