How no one thinks of this? Oh yeah, it's ESB...

He only fought all those in the Super Six under the condition that he got all his fights at home, otherwise he would not have entered

they slate calzaghe until their hearts content because that's what they like to do. they have no sportmanship about them. they like to try and discredit everything with their disrespectful arrogance.

but when ward fights at home with his ref, judges, and his constant cheating, he's the greatest of all time. they're fucking cretins.

His last two fight can be defended and even against Bika you can defend that shit but you are right.
Where owuld they have sold tickets against Bika, Froch (showtime contract stated that the semifinals and finals were to held in the states) and Dawson ?
Plus Ward almost got robbed against Froch but then again the Bika score cards were utter disgrace.

not all fighters make the most in america. only a few do. most would be paid more fighting in europe.

he tried to fight the best. not much you can do if they won't get in the ring with you.

Sure he did ..That's why he said he didn't want to tough fights ! Actions speak louder than words..And Wards actions are louder than Joe's words !

It shouldn't take 10 yrs to get a quality opponent after your coming out party against Eubank !

oakland and its huge stadiums, ward puts ass on seats with his stunning ko's....

Club Fighter · 10-07-2012, 07:19 PM

Because Ward fights in a tougher home than Joe C.

Why is AA wearing a big ol' dick on his head?

Maybe it's because Ward doesn't win via phantom tko.
