You mean joe should try harder, one of his top opponents is being compared to wards worst opponent Green by you. and you try harder than comparing worst to best. That's what Bailey does, hes one of the worst posters on ESB for logic. you need to pick, say, worst to worst - say Pudwill to Green. Or Mcintyre to Green. Now theres a difference. You must understand this, so why aren't you doing the logical thing?
well, 11/10 for zealousy in posting that Veit is good because he beat clumsy thug Braehmer, shame you then ignore the failure inherent in your argument.
lol @ veit being remotely considered good. too funny. these calzaghe nuthuggers are really stretching.
I can't let you get away with spit shining Veit. He was not world class. He and he wouldn't be top 10 today. He wasn't even top 10 back then, when the division was pretty damned weak. He was a wbo ranked guy, and that's about it.....and that really isn't saying anything back then. Rodriguez would beat Veit handily. You just have to watch each guy to see that. And no, he isn't great.
Ward would refuse to fight Veit unless the fight takes place in Ward's home town with Ward's personal referee, judges, boxing commission. Ward would have insisted that Veit take the PED test while Ward would refuse to take the test. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, isn't Ward doing that in his next fight? What is Ward trying to hide by refusing to take the PED test?
if his hands were so bad he'd not have continued boxing for another decade. stupid to pretend otherwise. face facts, you were suckered by a guy who used hand injuries as excuses to duck tough fights and thus preserve his zero losses. And the worst thing is that you worship him for suckering you thus. Why would you do this to yourself? You should respect yourself more.
Looks like Assasin answers this one here and schools Herol below Boone wasnt 45-1 either or holding a world title. With Braehmer the fact he is still top 10 all these years after Veit beats him says alot for Veit You fancy me, keep bringing me up. Either that or you are badly butt hurt Of course he would be top 10. Look at the current top 10 where many have far weaker resumes than Veit. You keep calling Ward the best SMW ever, but is that based on resume or ability that you feel that? Why when Veit has a stronger resume than many of the current top 10 do you not think he would be in the top 10? the SMW division is weak today, after Ward the next top fighter is an old fighter who lost to a faded unwell fighter previously. Many have very weak resumes, just look at the resumes of (and I like these fighters) rodriguez, Oousthuizen, DeGale and Groves even, then compare their resumes to Veits. I would instantly favour Veit over Oousthuizen, Abraham, Steiglitz, Rodriguez in the current top 10 today. What is funny is how Veit beats Brewer in a good display, wins a world int title, has a good resume, went 45-1, or 48-2 after 2 losses to Calzaghe, beats Braehmer who became a world champ etc. Suddenly Brewer was shot which seems odd in that he gave a good display against the best SMW ever and beat Pemberton who became top 10, was on a run of 3 wins after Calzaghe but was suddenly shot because Veit handled him
atsch we're not talking like for like though are we? you're saying that Ward would be a fake if he defended his title against a fighter like Veit, so i'm just showing you how stupid that post of yours was.
I am talking like that. Its the only way to compare opponents - like for like, best against best or worst against worst. I pointed that you failed to do this, in fact you did the reverse of what is logical. If you cant manage it then don't reply. Secondly, Dawson, Abraham and Bika are not weak opponents like Veit at all, they win and defend real world titles, even Bika the weakest of these three has won a full world title albeit flukily. Even Green would knock Veit out. So, basically - NO.
so Brahmer, who is a former champ and still resides in the Lightheavy top ten, is now a "clumsy thug"? your Zealous hatred for Joe never fails to make you look stupid. no matter what, you've always got to **** all over it. you have a seriously unhealthy ****ed up mind set when it comes to Joe. i've also seen your hatred for another Welsh fighter in Nathan Cleverly. instead of constantly posting here with extreme bitterness, why don't you go see a shrink to sort out whatever problems you have going on in your head. it will also save me from having to see your posts every time a Thread is made about Joe.
i'm not saying that Veit was amazing or anything. i'm just saying that you're doing the man a disservice by claiming he wasn't a good fighter when he in fact was. fighters who aren't good don't go beating the likes of Brahmer you know. there's also a few other solid wins there. the top ten was much stronger back then than it is now. apart from the top 3/4, anyone can come and make a claim. whereas the top 8 or so in Joe's time where pretty consistent. damn, Mikkel Kessler and Sakio Bika are STILL top ten now. Bika wasn't top ten back when Joe was on top. :deal well Veit isn't going to get the chance to prove whether he beats Rod or not because his time has come and gone. but i would definitely pick Veit if both were at their best. no doubt. and yes, i've watched both fighters.
Firstly, JB's never won a title, he was upgraded, and for the divvy's belt too, the wbo one. Lost it straight away too. He lost it running from Cleverly! How bad is that? Secondly - JBs not Mario Veit, and Veit is the man we are talking about. And he remains ****. nothing I have said HERE includes the words Joe Calzaghe. In fact, I praised one of his opponents - BIka. ONLY YOU have written the words 'joe calzaghe' in this thread. Therefore you talk ****. Furthermore I write praising posts to Joe too, but it seems you dont read them.
and you've missed the point again. atsch the state of the fighters when Ward faced them was when they were at their worst. don't try and make out that they weren't.
