    For beating Kessler and Bika What a joke!! He's P4P 10 ten talent wise yeah but if anyone from outside of the USA beat those guys they wouldn't be ranked in the top 10, has Kessler ever been in the top 10? Bika surely not, so why is Ward.

    Why do you have such a problem with Europe. You are half European.

    Mezstizp(sp) Indian + Spaniard = Mexican!

    I can see why the UK might rub you the wrong way but why the rest of the continent. In addition: Russians do not consider themselves part of Europe and Froch would have been way to bog for Oscar.

    Did you read my post? I said Ward is Top 10 talent wise, but he doesnt have the resume to get him in the top 10, its blatant American bias and you can't look at it any other way.

    its not bias. he to me is probably 9 or 10. he isnt upper echelon yet. but he will be. peopel try to dilute his wins by excuses. bottom line is he has won. we will see what happens in teh future but i think he is ognn abe undefeated for a very long time.

    You must be blind it is bias, Kessler has never been high in the p4p rankings, but as soon as an American beats him they suddenly get boosted up the P4P rankings :lol:, I would doubt even if Froch Beat Kessler when they fought Froch wouldn't be in the top 10.

    It's not really about the fighter i like Ward but there's so much american bias it's unreal, Tim Bradley is there so why shouldn't Khan he's beat more ranked/named fighters than Ward, Barrera (I know shot), Kotelnik, Malignaggi and Maidana, which is just as impressive as Bradley's, yet Ward only beats Kessler and Bika and he goes straight into the top 10.

    :lol: Lucian Bute's best win is Librado Andrade. of which it took him 2 fights to beat him. Wards best win is Mikkel Kessler. :patsch

    Ward wasnt knocked out by a journeyman and nearly knocked out by a Maidana who struggled with a shot Morales.

    Ward is going to be in the game a long time. Khan is one chin tap away from hitting the canvas for good.

    Froch would be top 10 P4P. I know your dumbass is new to the sport, but about 4 years ago there were 2 Brits in the top 10 p4p. Unlike your boy Khan and Froch they were undefeated.

    Every fighter suffers losses. Is Khan a hype job for getting KO'd by a journeyman? Is Froch a hypejob for needing a gift against prospect and losing to a fighter who couldnt see and was dominated by Ward?


    Limey logic for ya. :lol:


    Btw, how is Cunningham a hype job? Nobody was hyping him? He just beats stiff Euro's in a division nobody cares about.:think

    Pavlik was top 10 because he beat the undisputed middleweight chanpion of the world.

    Ward is top 10 because he's the best super middleweight in the world and beat what was once considered the best super middlewieght in the world.



    Uhh CAlzaghe was ranked number 2 in the world you ****ing ******. :lol: RJJ was shot. And Taylor was nothing when Froch beat him. Plus he had no period of dominance like Ward. Realistically he
    's 1-2 in his last 3 fights. He got a gift against Dirrell, and lost to a Kessler. Thats not top 10 P4P material stupid. :nut
