You look at Wards record and it's basically Calzaghe leftovers. Oh, and Froch who has been outboxed by plenty of fighters and Abraham who has too. There is nothing in there to even compare with a Calzaghe. Nothing. It's nothing spectacular. Then in recent years who has he been fighting?

Then Kovalev too. Look at the resume. It is pretty hollow. Cleverly was the big one, but since it has been a Hopkins a decade older than the one Calzaghe faced who now had no legs and a Pascal beaten by Froch years ago. Suddenly the power that can stop Pascal is going to trap Calzaghe like a deer in the headlights. It's unfathomable. Kovs power has vanished in recent fights. Couldn't even stop a Hopkins on his last legs. It is overrated.

Calzaghe was special, unique and though flawed had a will to win like no other. He didn't breathe heavy and stop throwing. He threw and threw and threw and his footwork was excellent. His combinations were unorthodox and unpredictable. You couldn't prepare for him as there was nothing like him. Kov versus Ward was a let down. It became plod against clinch.

Now James Toney has a resume! Look at that list of fighters. Better than Calzaghe, Ward and Kovs put together!
