    What a stupid thread.

    Sullivan Barrera would have Ko'd Andre Ward had he more skills, ring IQ, technique. Not power.

    Barrera had zero boxing skills, very wide punches, off balance, etc., which is the reason SOB fought him............in his hometown with his personal referee, judges, boxing commission on top of all that..............

    Lol it took you months to summon the courage to create a thread! That's because you were waiting for approval from fellow back slappers to give you enough confidence to be able to articulate yourself without a support worker standing over your shoulder. This explains why there is this shameless Andre Ward cult that I have just noticed exists on here.

    I don't need to wait for 'the right time' to open up a new page on a forum to get my point across. Slowly treading the waters like a princesse says much about your character.

    I can understand why you're such a big fan of someone like Andre Ward. And it all so well explains why you and a few others of your goonish online buddies stick ever so closely together and yet still fail to grasp the basic premise of this thread objectively.

    All you had to do was watch the video evidence of ward having to go to war with Barrera.

    The fact that ward shipped in hard shots from an obscure d level fighter should set off alarm bells and rightly make you fear for his welfare for when the same thing happens against the best of the best.

    I understand. Don't move, stay where you, don't panic and breath slowly. Just wait until your carer who will break the words and information down for you.

    Look at all these idiots pretending Suliman Barera was more than a highschool janitor. And what about that Brands dude, was he some sort of shaolin boxing master pretending to be a 40 years old cab driver from Argentina? Ward fought some gimme money fights and now he's cashing out for good, simple truth.

    Barrera is a good fighter, but he had never fought anyone on the upper level in his division, so expecting him to beat Ward was silly, despite the fact that Ward was new to 175. I think someone like Yunieski Gonzalez or Artur Beterbiev would have been a better test for Andre ahead of the Kovalev fight.

    Can I get an honest answer to why most of you guys don't like Ward? He beat Barrera 12-0 w a KD in his light heavyweight debut. He's a boxing enthusiasts joy to watch.

    I thought Ward-Barrera was an extremely easy fight to score. I personally had it 119-107 for Ward.
