By Scott Gilfoid: Virgil Hunter, the trainer for WBA/WBC super middleweight champion Andre Ward (26-0, 14 KO’s) revealed in an interview today what I already knew in my mind that Joe Calzaghe would have been an easy fight for Ward had he fought him in his prime. Calzaghe was too sloppy and horribly flawed to beat a fighter like Ward All that useless bouncing that Calzaghe did when fighting. So awful to look at. Ward would have taken advantage of that in a second.
Hunter told Eastsideboxing.com “The fact of the matter is Joe Calzaghe would have been tailor made for us. There are just certain things that he did that we could have chewed him up, like bouncing in place. You know, we would have threw that completely off…He would have a problem.”
