    Just a tip - someone got banned for bypassing the swear filter recently. I haven't quoted you so it's never too late..............

    If you scored that fight for Ward, you are in the minority.

    He not only did beat him the first time but he proved that there was no doubt about who was the best in the rematch

    Yes John liked to land," his third punch," when he got the chance,Finnegan called him, "Old Pickle Head". I'm not impressed with Kovalev's stickabilty when things aren't going his way.

    I honestly believe John gets a wee bit overlooked these days because of the depth of the division when he was on the go. He was terrific.

    Most people are scared "of" death. Getting banned from the forum however shouldn't kill you :D

    They were two separate fights. One does not effect the other.

    In the first fight, 73% of the media polled thought Kova won. This includes: Doug Fischer (Ring) (117-110), Harold Lederman (HBO) (116-111), Dan Rafael (ESPN) (115-112), Steve Kim (115-112), Allan Fox (BoxingNews24) (117-110), Tim Dahlbert (AP) (116-111), Kevin McRae (Bleacher Report) (115-112), Lance Pugmire (LA Times) (115-112)...

    I guess they forgot to ask Combatesdeboxeo from ESB.

    He DID beat Ward in the first fight, that was one of worst decisions ever.

    Like both guys but Conteh for me. The man was a text book beautiful boxer in his prime. His skills are unappreciated by alot of people in my book
