He just fought Lemieux who had a world title. Other than that he had Murray, Macklin, and Geale. They were sturdy competitors, even if they weren't world shakers. I wouldn't say that everybody GGG fights is a can. I would say that everyone Wilder fights is a can. GGG is more like Wladimir Klitschko. He fights the guys that will fight him and some of them are pretty good, but he's just so much better that they look untalented. But meanwhile Povetkin, Chagaev, Haye, Thompson, and Peter were good scalps.
One knockout doesn't sell me on the idea that a guy has a china chin or isn't a threat to anyone. Floyd Patterson got knocked down and out a lot. Lennox Lewis got knocked out by McCall and Rahman. Wladimir Klitschko got sparked by Brewster, Puritty, and Sanders before ruling the division for a decade. Sometimes things just happen, or guys get better at protecting their chin. Pacquiao got knocked out by Torrecampo and Singsurat but went on to have a monster career.
Ward will be remembered the same way late Edwin Valero. Great talent, but a bit coocoo in his head. Ruined career single handedly...
Comparison with Klit is correct only record wise. In order to be "so much better", Wlad was using his size and reach advantage plus excessive clinching against smaller opponents. He is so much afraid to get hit. Golovkin actually dominates his opponents with skill and power.
Valero was never right again after the accident he was in Ward is doing what his advisor James Prince tells him to do, which is why he's throwing away the few precious years of his prime he has left
There is no reason to blame anybody but Ward. He doesn't strike me like a dummy, so if his choices is a result of taking advise from Prince, then it is still his own fault.
is asking strangers online for their age a thing nowadays? the sky was the limit for Ward after schooling Froch in 2011, instead he did everything possible to throw away years of hard work and dedication to become an unknown instead of becoming the next boxing superstar
Prince is also to blame for Dawson's career, Chad was skilled as hell, but wasted it all due to bad management
The Can Man - King of intercontinental paper trinkets- has yet to defend his IBF title and has just 4 defences of the legit WBA Tilte. Hop had 20 legitimate title defences. Arthur Abraham had 11 IBF MW Title defences and has won 6 straight WBO SMW Title fights , going for his 7th soon. Canlovkin has a long way to go to even catch up to the great King Arthur Abraham.
Arthur won that fight. Murray was weak against G , being weight drained in a division he had long out grown. He still took Ham Man 11 rounds and is the second best win on his record. A domestic C leveller:rofl
