    Who is comparing Ward's resume to GGG? By the way, who ducked a fight with GGG? Let's see, Billy Joe Saunders, Froch turned it down, Chavez Jr ducked, Lora avoided it until GGG had a fight scheduled, Cotto wants nothing to do with him, Alvarez is hiding in his Canelo weight division and calling for a 90-10 split, Jacobs doesn't want, and Ward threw out a bs contract that no one would accept and then moved up to light heavyweight.

    Don't be a straight up biased hater and talk about GGG resume while ignoring the straight up fear that these folks have of getting in the ring with him.

    except with a distinguished record as a Cuban amateur, which we know counts for a good deal.

    Curtis Stevens and Monroe were not winning world amateur titles as amateurs. They were also-rans in the American system.

    Wow, they did a TERRIBLE job selling what could easily be a super fight.

    Ward is finally getting the recognition he deserves, celebrities are coming out for him, he puts on a great performance, and for what? Absolutely nothing.

    Get kovalev in the ring, let them size each other up, Americans are seriously turning against Kovalev, you can easily market the fight as the righteous American family man vs the big bad Russian.

    HBO and Ward seriously dropped the ball on this one.

    you're kind of predictable, you know?

    How many words did you spill writing about how Barrera would annihilate Ward?

    10,000 words over 3 months?

    In fairness, as I recall, Brinkley put forth an extremely spirited effort that surprised everyone.

    They seem to have respect for each other... Kovalev actually holds legit animosity for Stevenson and Pascal believe it or not.

    Remember Manny?

    "I leave it to my promoter". Every time.

    Mayweather would in turn barely acknowledge Manny's existence.

    Sometimes you don't need that stuff.
