CALZAGHE VS WARD

First topic message reminder :

Ward's still in his prime but against a prime Calzaghe how do you see this going?

Calzaghe's tenacious and makes this a tough fight but I feel Ward may be too skilled for him; so I slightly lead towards Ward, only slightly!

Pacquiao is not a better boxer than JC and JC has never relied on his power like Manny does. I don't think you can compare Ward Calzaghe to Pacquiao vs Marquez.

As much criticsm as I have levelled at Calzaghe over the years his talent and resolve are unqestionable. I think he wins this, in a tight tight decision. Ward couldn't hurt him at SM and Joe will get dirty when needs be. Ugly fight as any competative Ward fight would be. Joe with hand raised. People also forget that before his hands hurt he was not a slappy and packed a decent dig. Couple that with his workrate and his southpaw stance. I think prime Joe gets it done. 47-0 baby

I would have to disagree there. I think Pacquiao is a better boxer than Calzaghe with a bit to spare. I dont think Pacquiao has relied on power either. Speed and workrate have been more important to him, similar to Calzaghe.

I could envisage Calzaghe v Ward playing out not too disimilar to Pacquiao/Marquez III.
