Are Europeans bitter that they have come to America to become a true star and that Americans don't have to travel overseas to become a star? The only exception to that is the HW division with the K brothers, and even they have fought in America so to some degree it is not an extent. As Schemling told the brothers, "If you want to make it big you have to fought in America."

He said all time great. But even under the revised terminology it's still BS.
Was Hatton a star before he fought in the US? Yes and he would've out-sold this or indeed any future incarnation of Ward numerous times over. Theory destroyed./ |

After Ward fought Kessler the first time he admitted they had unfinished business because of the controversy in their fight... Now he doesn't give a fuck... Ward will not fight Kessler again unless it's solely on his terms..
But hey he is on his way to the HW division... No need to look back... Just focus on the freak shoulder of his and he will good to go... Maybe he wants to imitate RJJ??? I just hope he sticks around long enough like his idol.. Last edited by Elvizzz; 01-26-2013 at 06:34 AM. |

He owes kessler a re-match.
The rest of what he says is the truth, however nothing will take away from the fact that he is boring as fuck and he has no real options. Lets see him fight haye at heavyweight Bet he wouldn't even entertain it

I like what he says about Kessler.
He didnt come to Oakland because we made him, he came because he saw a young, green kid, who he thought he could beat. He didnt think I could do what I did. Andre speaking the truth! |

In my opinion it is a mix of things.
First the negative, I think he is slightly jealous about how much money both Froch and Kessler, two men he beat comfortably are going to make, and rightfully so. I also think due to his injury currently all he can do is talk too, plus knock out Froch or Kessler, is he having a laugh? comfortable UD yeah, but knock out not a chance. The positive for him is that he would beat them both again, and as much as I'd love him to come Europe to face Froch I don't think he should, after Froch beat Kessler (if) I think it's clear #1 vs #2 should be hosted in Vegas, I do however think he should go to Denmark to face Kessler just to show he can and because Kessler came Oakland as champion and got a little bit of rough treatment. |

Another drunken idiot that needs a reality check. REAL FIGHTS HAPPEN IN AMERICA, CHECK HISTORY, ALMOST ALL OF THE BIG FIGHTS TAKE PLACE IN AMERICA. THEY DON'T AND WON'T TAKE PLACE IN ENGLAND WHERE THE LOCAL FIGHTER IS ALLOWED TO USE UFC/MMA TACTICS WHILE THE FOREIGNER LOOKS ON. They won't/don't take place in Wales either, otherwise Calzaghe wouldn't have arrived and left without anyone giving two shits. There, roll that, smoke it and choke on it. Retard.

If you're expecting perfection on this planet then I have to wonder if you're mentally lacking or born yesterday. America hosts all the big fights and by all I mean ENDLESS, of course you will find some corruption here and there when you have big numbers/events to look into. England hasn't hosted that many big fights and almost every time a foreigner went there, they got jobbed in one way or another.
