    Why would he have done that? RJJ was at LT HW by the time Joe C started facing 'tougher' comp at 168.

    Not only did Zags beat RJJ, he has a lush boxing academy in Abercarn- the Monte Carlo of South Wales. RJJ has to scrape up dimes teaching Chris Eubank Jr to dance.

    “CalSlappy” slaps him silly for 10 rounds
    Canelo stops him late in the 11th-12th
    (Chávez Sr Vs Meldrick Taylor style.)

    ?? I don't see it that lauded by many. LA county? That's about it. He did dominate the Super 6 which did count for something.

    Nah..... Canelo wouldn't stop Joe......46-0.
    Canelo would receive a schooling by someone with a relentless gas tank. speed. movement..
    12-0 to Joe. Canelo only fought B&C level at Super Middle....not his fault but clearly a level or two below Joe...

    Ward's resume is applauded like he cleaned house or something. He did nothing of the sort. S6 wasn't the major event some seem to remember. Bute not invited and guy pulling only out to be replaced by lesser opps. S6 was good on paper, and a worthy attempt. About it.

    1) Joe never fought at "Middle' so that's a false equivalence....
    2) Canelo only fought one elite "Middle" and got beat on both occasions...so there is that.
    3) If you meant Super Middle then still a lot better than anyone Ginger fought it isn't close...

    It's a good resume. Olympic unbeaten gold medalist and multi champ. Not bad.

    TT...this is about his professional resume. I guess since you haven't been as active the last few years here, you've missed all the posts about how great Ward's resume is, and that he's an ATG. HIs resume is 'good' at best,imo.

    Did you read my post? I said it is a good resume. It isn't Tiger Flowers' work by any means but he came out pretty good. Who are all these people by the way?

    H2H he would be a good task for anyone though and a feather in their cap if they beat him. You know this.

    You are because you apparently can't read.
