    All I did was point out your modus operandi. Prove me wrong and if Ward wins, give him full credit.

    Yeah, only difference is Ward gave Smith one of the most one sided beatdowns of the last decade.

    And you are the one who is being blind, as are the rest of the people who hate Ward. He's such a relaxed and humble guy, done nothing but succeed as a boxer and gets no props. I struggle to see how people dislike, let alone hate the man.

    Ward by decision, unless he gets clipped and KO'd by a miracle. I'm really looking forward to seeing Ward in the ring again :bbb

    I fully expect you to go into hysterics and claim Barrera is the best LHW on the planet and Kovalev has no chance of beating him, after he leaves Bored on the canvass in a bloody heap.

    Ward did well in the Super 6. Have to hand that to him. great accomplishment. Then...what? Squandered time and did next to nothing. Swollen knee....couldn't remember which of his own knees it was...but hey...who could be expected to remember such a detail. Now he says he has always been in the gym. OK. Working in the gym is always different than a fight in the ring or in an alley/street. not knocking it but....you stay sharp by fighting. You work on things in a controlled setting in the gym. big difference. Now he is moving up in weight and fighting a guy that has been active, is undefeated and has a high knock out percentage. Of course he has the fight in Oakland...is that correct? The only real way Barrera can win is by ko. however, that is what I am expecting. headbutts and everything else aside. Barrera is going to whip that ass.

    We get it. You don't like Ward. You don't have to like him to recognize that Barrera isn't good enough (probably) to be the guy to beat him, though - or that expecting he will is anything other than emotionally-fueled wishful thinking. Much like when people were "sure" the likes of Victor Ortiz and Robert Guerrero were going to lay Floyd Mayweather Jr. out cold just because "hey, they're decent enough, they're in the mix in their weight class" and Mayweather was perceived to be slipping. (which he was, just far more gradually than haters were hoping)

    Does he stand more of a chance based on styles (and Ward now being in his thirties, potentially slipping from his prime, and having long bouts of inactivity with really no meaningful action seen in 3½ years) than Smith or Bomba Rodriguez? Sure. I've got no problem conceding that Barrera is a better light heavyweight than either of them...especially seeing as neither of them is really a light heavyweight.

    Barrera isn't that great, though. If he is anything close to what he was - even in the last 3½ years - this should be easy work for Ward.
