    Kessler was the big favorite why does it matter, if he was better he would have won regardless.

    It's like saying Mayweather should have fought Hatton in Manchester. What would the difference have been? Maybe Ricky doesn't get KO'd...He still loses every round.

    the only people who give a **** are Slappy Joe fanboys which is ironic considering Calslappy si the most overrated and biggest hometown joke in boxing history.

    There's definitely an element of truth in that but he should have fought away in the Super Six tournament like everyone else had to.

    Crazy isn't it. They accuse Ward of something that Joe is more guilty of. Ward has racked up almost as much travel miles as Joe in half the number of fights. They're crusade to bring Ward down is driving them into the depths of madness.

    Fighting at home is a big advantage. 95% of top pros will agree.

    I'm proud of Bute for fighting Froch in Nottingham when he could have fought him in Montreal for more money.

    You do have a valid point...Look at all of the Ward bashers and look who they're fans of...Its a no brainer.

    Also, I'm loving how you're being attacked in this thread for telling the truth! Bitchass dudes cant handle it I see.:lol:

    It doesn't matter where Ward fights Kessler at he's the better and more complete fighter. Ward will still be able to control the distance beat Kessler to the punch out think him make adjustments give him hell on the inside. Kessler can't outbox Ward and he can't KO him either. How does he win? The location is irrelevant Ward wins 10 out of 10 times.:deal

    But that's beside the point. Only silly people are saying had the fight been in Demnark it would have been different. People have an issue with him not fighting away in the Super Six and that's perfectly reasonable. Just because Ward would have beaten those guys anywhere doesn't render their complaint irrelevant.

    That's exactly what I mean. The times B-Hop fought abroad he ended up with 2 draws before he finally got his first win in Canada.
    And Floyd gets a freebee for whatever reason and would not be undefeated if he had fought abroad in a couple of his more difficult fights.
    Sergio is a victim of the whole situation, because he's Argentinian. Have you ever heard the phrase having to knock someone out to get a draw... watch the Cintron fight and that's exactly what happened :deal
    And manny is Pinoy and has had a lot of fights in Asian countries early in his career of course.
    It is! :yep

    What he is saying is no one criticizes Martinez for making euros fight him in America where he currently lives. Pac also only fights in America now too where he enjoys a huge home advantage. Same with with Floyd. For some reason Ward gets all the hate. Is it a coincidence Ward is the only one that has recently embarrassed several euros and they seem to be the ones doing all the complaining?
