If they fought in Oakland Ward wins a split decision if they fought in the UK or just outside of California I think it's a draw or split decision for Calzaghe.

I never rated Calzaghe while he was around because I looked at his opponents and was never impressed with them, but credit where credit is due Calzaghe never took ANYONE lightly which is why he retired undefeated. He also picked his matches a bit like Floyd has....now OK RJJ, Hopkins, those guys didn't want to travel to fight Joe they did once they knew it was close to the last big money they would make.


Andre Ward will like Calzaghe look better when he's retired and people can understand how good he was. That ugly style makes it harder for you to be beaten, some fans hate it, but damnit it fucking works. The only way around it is doing the things that are hardest for fighters to do which is move your head, move your body, stay on balance, keep leverage on your punches, and don't get hit in return....there's a lot of moving parts to counter that style and not everyone is cut out for it.
