That's is the problem, which is why it is a farce. It is a money grab one time off fight. Do you really think he will be willing to face the likes of Gassiev? I don't think it would be right to even sanction such a fight when one fighter is clearly at least 50% stronger and superior.
Lol at all the crying on this thread. You guys def wanted to see the match up between Stuntman Wheeler and Pretty Ricky Conlan during the movie Creed, that HBO 24/7 promo was too hot.
The only crybabies will be Ward's children when they have to witness their father suffer if Ward is stupid enough to play around in a division where fighters such Gassiev, Denis Lebedev and Oleksandr Usyk reign supreme.
You are running on very little credibility. You said Kovalev was going to end Ward's career, not once, but twice. You constantly support threads that accuse fighters of PED use or make accusations that you can't support with any real evidence. Perhaps you should take a break from ESB for awhile. Come back refreshed, better equiped and ready to apologize to the real boxing fans and Mr. Ward!
Stop the nonsense you hypocrite. I said Kovalev intended to end Ward's career, is that not true? I backed kovalev to win yes, and I was justified with my assertions considering many accept that he won the first fight. Now to mention always I've supplied anecdotal evidence on all ped cheating cases and when ever you tried to stick your oar in on these types of discussions, offering your flimsy defensive arguments, I've always shot them down on facts. In regards to this discussion, Ward stands absolutely no chance against any other of the top cruisers besides Bellew. We can actually lay down a stake you really do think I have no credibility and what I say holds no water. What do you say?
Just as I thought. You're nothing but a bite-sized Dinovelvet. Not interested in discussing the many different tangibles of the sport, but instead more concerned with competing for the title of being the forum's biggest clown.
You're right. You arent. You are the one crying about Andre Ward with your croanies all over the board because you still cant accept he punished the man that was going to end his career. And you are the one quoting me when I wasnt talking to you. You do that alot actually. And to answer your question about whether his popularity or skills/resume/record is more important? Well Ward has passed the test in all 3 categories already. Cant say the same for your boy though. So I think a money fight is in order for Ward even if its not the greatest fight. At least he wasnt dragging up Jr MW's in 2009 at 168=equivalent to what Golovkin did with Brook.
