Not much Kessler was on top form wen calzaghe met him and kessler has looked poor since calzaghe edged him to victory and different styles have different outcomes P.S Scott Gilford is a joke u shud stop writing cos ur gash haha

Lets see if Ward goes on and defends his title for over a decade…at the moment he is a World Champion with no defenses to his name. Keeping hold of a title for over 10 years, even if the competition wasnt the greatest takes a great deal of heart, desire and ambition. I still believe if Calzaghe would have stepped up his opposition a bit earlier in his career he would have beat them all…bar Jones, although I think it would have been a closer fight with both in or close to there prime.

Big yourself up mate with your predictions, big yourself up!

This is another pathetic excuse of an article, Calzaghe finds a way to beat any fighter put in front of him. Ward wouldn’t stand a chance. He’s quick but he’s not nearly skilled or unpredictable enough to keep Calzaghe guessing for the whole fight.

personally i dont rate calzaghe he was a champion in a division full of b grade fighters at best and was never truly tested (kessler being an exception) and how ward took a one sided fight i find it convenient that calzaghe has retired before these guys in this tournament could get their hands on him and see whether or not calzaghe is a truly great fighter

How can you not count calzaghes win over hopkins as a credible victory? in his next fight bernard took apart kelly pavlik, this is the same pavlik that many claimed would demolish calzaghe.
i sometimes think that you write articles so inadequate to get british fight fans riled and commenting.
you are a clown

my intensions were not to discredit joe, even though it came out that my. for that i apoligise.

but guys joe does not rate with the greats full stop. he is pitter patter, really good hand speed and athletic but no real power or prowess of a true champoin. come on.

if he were that great he would have stoped a shot jones and a 44 year old b hop! come on!

Joe Calzaghe would use his head without headbutting. Every fight I saw of Joe he would stand and trade and was the busiest fighter I ever saw for the whole 12 rounds as well. Look how he took out Lacy he was an up and coming young American star wasn’t he?

This is so biased. Everyone on boxingnews24 have been saying after Kessler’s recent fights that he has looked slow old and poor. Calzaghe did this to him. Calzaghe fought Kessler at Kessler’s prime and ended his career. Ward just beat a Kessler who has never been the same since Calzaghe. Ward looked very good but comparing that to Calzaghe is ridiculous. Also why write off Calzaghe’s victory over Hopkins just cause of the age. Not long ago Hopkins played with the so called “best middleweight out”. Was Pavlik just another overrated overhyped American boxer.

‘Before you discount what I’m saying, you have to realize that I got the Ward-Kessler prediction perfect. I predicted that Ward would dominate the entire fight and I got it down perfectly, so I know what I’m talking about’

You predicted this fight right, thats gotta be about 1 in 20 predictions right. A retard flipping a coin would probably have a better predictions record than you

Kessler got a huge cut above his eye from the middle rounds and this was from a dirty headbutt. Kessler started slow as he always does but this time he couldn’t get into the rhythm because ward was cheating. calzaghe would move his head unlike kessler and throw a thousand more punches than ward.

Old calzaghe would win by a very wide UD.

kessler was at his peak around the time he fought Joe, now he is getting older obviously time is taking its toll on him. you just cant stand the fact that British fighters are named the best!! and anyway ward’s fight with kessler was stopped due to a cut whats so amazing about that? and Ward’s performance wasn’t amazing at all with all the ‘accidental’ head butts, he looked like a f****** bull out there!
