I'm not demanding Ward to move up so joke's on you. (Yeah I know I joked about that catchweight in the last page). Great fighters moved up, but there are plenty who didn't move up as well, nothing wrong with either, and it's not an excuse, he's not a natural super middleweight, it's that simple, I'd still like to see the fight but I want him to do everything he can in his natural weight division first just so assholes like you don't get to call him a fraud before he has a chance to do something.
There *IS* something wrong when you stay in a weight class absolutely devoid of credible opposition and do nothing but knock over TOMATO CAN after TOMATO CAN. Bum-love-kin is *33* years old and has the resume of a PROSPECT. Wake me when Bum-love-kin comes off of his Bum-Of-The-Month tour...
Well, actually, to be fair, Hagler was a long reigning middleweight who long desired a big fight before landing one. I think there are parallels to be drawn there.
But in that case, the separation in drawing power (which stemmed simply from one fighter being the son of a legend) was drastic. I'm not convinced the gap between Ward and Golovkin is what you make it out to be, and considering the narrower gap, I think accomplishment comes into the picture. Bottom line, if/when Ward vs GGG happens, I expect it to be billed as "Ward-Golovkin" and I suspect that Ward will call most of the shots. Time can prove me wrong, though.
Hagler had a lot of great wins before he landed any marquee names, but the point is, he didn't beat any marquee names until Duran stepped up.
Yeah, yeah. We all know your game Cisco, everyone that Golovkin will fight but Ward you'll brand a "TOMATO CAN". He needs to beat Canelo or Cotto, after he gets one of those names on his resume, there won't be any questions about him being a hypejob or what not.
It doesn't change the FACT that Marvin has beaten legitimate ATG fighters. Again I ask, exactly WHO has the Triple Duck beaten?
The question the Bum-love-kin crowd needs to ask is; why does the Triple Duck keep fighting these TOMATO CANs? And please, stop with the XYZ fighter is ducking him excuse. It's old and TIRED - just like the guys Bum-love-kin likes to fight...
My point is that it took a long time before Marvin even got the chance to face a marquee name, and that wasn't through lack of trying or desire. :smoke
