    I wish that could happen. But Adonis won't go anywhere near Kovalev in a hurry, he's got his 2017 fight sorted with Alvarez or Bute.

    i can see ward trying to get fights againsts the likes of bute,alvarez,cleverly,skogland rather than face the real top fighters in the division

    Because Ward has a history of ducking top competition? The guy gets one controversial decision and suddenly he's the biggest ever fraud in boxing.

    who said he was the biggest ever fraud in boxing?????

    you just made that up thinking nobody would notice didn't you?

    the thread clearly says "douche of the year" only!!

    I suggest you look up the definition of "hyperbole".

    i think he made it up because the facts are very damning on ward and he wants to say something far out there to try and discredit fans who have real concerns about this situation

    i think we would all want to see a rematch, 2-3 months later like in the old days, ward doesn't seem to want that

    i want to see the best fighting the best regularly especially in a hot division like 175, some dont seem to want it

    I hear you, more and more boxing is becoming the sport where the top fighters rarely fight each other, frustrating for the fans.

    I'm an exaggeration not meant to be taken at face-value? Not sure if that's a compliment or an insult, but thank you.

    It wasn't a quote, Jesus. Get some common sense and critical thinking skills please.

    Here you go:

    Who said they don't??questionmark?????

    I think you're making it up! You narcissistic liar!! Clearly you're trying to sway people to your side with obvious lies!!! Who said that they don't want to see the best fight the best? no one !!exclamationmark!!! No one was discrediting fans who have concerns!!!!
    ---

    Etc etc. Just dumb. My point was very, very obviously that the ire directed towards Ward ITT, and the claims that he's retiring to duck the guys coming up in the division, is OTT. No top fighter still near his prime thinks they are going to literally be KOd "soon enough" if he sticks around.

    my point was simply to take the extra time to edit out the exaggeration so as we can stick to the point of the debate RATHER than battling blindly on with chaotic hyperbole.

    I don't like Ward saying this, but once again, let's not jump the gun - wait and see whether Ward does retire or not.

    Then why didn't you say that instead of saying something purely idiotic? It's not "chaotic" either. It doesn't take a genius to work out the sentiment of what I said. What you said, however, is apparently totally different than what you meant.

    Also, why does your dictionary have pictures in it? Are you a bit simple?
