Team Ward dare Joe Calzaghe to come out of retirement

[Dropanuke]

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

I doubt JC would do it though, but this would be a big money fight and I'd imagine Calzaghe could get a lot for fighting Ward. I don't see it happening though, JC would lose his 0.

If true, this is just chicken shit by Ward and his team. Maybe Ward is jealous of Calzaghe's popularity as a champion and the fact that SOG's fights are crap to watch.

LOL popularity?? One of JC's biggest insecurities was that he wasn't popular enough or given the respect he felt he deserved (he didn't).

Prime for prime, Ward pitches a shutout. Be's not stupid enough to get caught by those silly windmills of JC just like Bernard wasn't. Hopkins just ran out of steam being 40 something and STILL won the fight I thought. What on earth do you think Ward would do to good ol' JC?

Eubank was given very short notice and had to quickly come down in weight..Once again Philosopher, you manipulate data to suit your arguments. Nobody said Eubank was shot, people only state the obvious. Eubank was drained and on short notice..STILL wasn't easy for JC.

You kidding?

More than twice as many people were at Calzaghe v Kessler than there were at Hatton v Tszyu

Right now if Calzaghe did come back he would still sell out millenium stadium. There isnt another fighter as popular as him around bar Mayweather or Pacquiao.

Calzaghe was not prime versus Hopkins. Nowhere near. He didn't windmill or pitter pat in his prime. Be honest, have you seen many of his fights from pre 2004ish?
Calzaghe had a physical prime that was about 1997-2003 and a tactical prime that was 2006 - retirement.
Eubank has said the hook that Calzaghe dropped him with was one of the hardest shots he took.
Prime Calzaghe would overwhelm Ward.
Calzaghe's performance vs Hopkins was truly one of his worst for many years, but he still won a close decision. I admit it was horrible to watch but at that point he could barely make a fist and thus his tendency to slap the odd punch became an inability to throw anything that wasn't a slap. Although, against Jones he definately put more pop in his punches than against Hopkins, as Jones himself said afterwards.
