    Name another country Non American fighters will rather fight in. Name country that has changed the lives of fighters from third world countries as much as America.

    I couldnt say if someone is corrupt or not but it shocks me how someone can be what looked to be hit low, double over and the ref wave it off. Kovalev had seemed to have recovered from the big shot that hurt him.
    The part that I really didnt like was what looked like elbows at times.

    Hate is a strong word and I dont think I know of anyone hating him.
    I dont hate him. I think its great when a fighter can retire at the top of their game on their own terms and always like to see that rather than someone go on too long and get hurt.
    I dont like some of the things with Ward for some of the reasons mentioned but what are you trying to insinuate?

    Do you not think so then also with Sven Ottke if you rate Ward that highly?

    Name another country that has shafted as much foreign fighters?
    Whats your logic, ' we give guys from other countries money so its okay to shaft them in favour of the home fighter'

    How would Golata be awarded a KO win, are we existing on the same earth here? Is this one of those alternate ending dimensions?

    How is this a double standard when we are taking about two different affairs taking place in two different weight classes in a different era with the fight climate and course heading in two different directions. I can go on and on....

    You seem like a decent enough fella that sticks to his guns and I admire that but don’t deny your third eye. We all have one you just need to be willing to accept what it’s showing you and interpret it with objective lenses.

    Let me ask you something. Who did Ottke beat that was within 10000 light years of Kessler, Froch or Kovalev?

    You never felt the need to make a hate thread about him either.

    Both trash, I feel fighters should take pride in fighting in hostile territory. I don’t care who it is, it’s a stain on both I don’t do bias. They both get the same amount of backlash on my part.

    So by not making a hate thread about him i support him?
    Iv neer seen you make a hate thread about bill crosby, i guess you support all the stuff he did.
    See how flawed that logic is

    Excellent point good sir

    I think part of being a successfull fighter is realizing you can’t please the masses without first being a winner. Winning isn’t always pretty but once a fighter has straddled the line of being effectively resourceful and dirty then you know their going to provide 110% of their determination expressed in that squared circle.

    I’m certainly not insinuating Ward is dirty but there’s no denying of his willingness to adjust accordingly in the ring.
