    You're not objective you POS you bash Crawford, PBF, Ward, Wilder, Broner, Spence, Rigo, Stevenson I could go on and on. Nothing about Ward is wrong he's an accomplished fighter who has dared to be great and is now doing it again, he's simply telling the truth and you don't like it. Instead you find fault in that and make excuses for GGG.

    You're not objective I called for Wilder to step up along with GGG in another thread yesterday with you saying both had **** resumes but when I brought that up nothing but silence from you. You make a thread about Ward having a glass jaw because he got knocked down by Boone I say Kovalev got knocked down by Boone why don't you make a thread about him having a glass jaw again nothing but silence from you. You're a POS troll and a racist to boot.

    Some, but not all.

    I may criticize the way Andre's handled things, but Floyd's gotten plenty of props from me. I think it's foolish that people were moving the goalposts for him to have to beat GGG because they'd run out of boogeymen below 154.

    Floyd and Ward aren't in the same universe in terms of accomplishments. Floyd's beaten 23 past, present, or future champs. Nearly half of his fights. Andre's beaten 5. GGG's only beaten 3.

    So if Golovkin's resume isn't in the same universe as Ward's, you're gonna have to come up with a really, really, really big cosmic reference to describe the gap between Floyd's and Ward's. :good

    Shane was just copying Oscar. But Oscar went to 158lbs to face HOPKINS. Now that is ***** of steel.

    Is there anyone out there who respects both Andre and GGG as good fighters? All this partisan BS day in, day out on ESB or whatever this place is called

    There you go, completely discrediting a boxer instead of looking things from a neutral perspective.

    Andre Ward recently fought Paul Smith, who is worse than Dominic Wade. However, that doesn't mean that Ward should've been put on heat as he was coming back from a long lay off.

    Still, some people decided to discredit Ward and hate on him, just like you are doing with Golovkin right now. Dominic Wade might not be elite (although most would agree that he's better than Paul Smith), but he is a mandatory challenger and it wasn't Golovkin that chose him.

    You not only bash Golovkin for taking on his mandatory challenger Wade, but you go even further, saying that Golovkin only fights trash cans.

    That means that you are no better than the other bitter haters (from each side) who aren't paying any attention to what's really happening and as such your opinion isn't of much value.

    All while being perfectly happy with the blatant ducking and clear corruption that is happening at MW so long as it suits his agenda.

    It's "play dumb" not "pay dumb".

    Anyway, for the record, Ward takes GGG at 68 and loses to Kovalev at 75.

    I don't choose to "ignore the corruption" and ducking....I simply see and could see it coming....but instead of whining about I accept that its going to happen...if I can see it why cant gggs team?

    instead of forcing issues....agreeing to canelos cw...or fighting ward at 168...hes content with sitting back and letting things happen

    great fighters have taken great risks to make it big in the sport

    you guys act like I have no clue about whats going on....but I do...I just accept it because I cant change it..instead of complaining about it I look at the way you can combat it or still make due in the face of it...and by make due I don't mean fighting dominic wade......there are other ways to go about business....but yall are fine with ggg staying his course

    I'd rather Ward fight Adonis Stevenson before he fights Kovalev. I would like to see how Ward handles the awkward lefty. Its a interesting clash of styles. Ward has decent power in his right hand. I think he can find home for it on Adonis chin.

    Yeah you'd think people would be bored and embarassed by all this fanboy/hater nonsense.

    Anyway, I said a long time ago this is what Ward*should do. Cleaned out 168, move up to 175. People kept saying how great he was and how he was top 2 p4p. I thought if he's so good he should be able to move up like Roy Jones Jr, Floyd Mayweather Jr, Manny Pacquiao etc and even lesser fighters were able to do.

    I'm glad to see Ward taking on the challenge.
