Eddy Reynoso and Virgil Hunter. 2 sides of the same coin

Regardless of whether he was made to or not he was still a skeleton. I remember there was loads of rumours before the fight he was massively struggling to make weight and got knocked out by Edison Miranda in sparring.

Caleb Plant and Billy Joe Saunders would both beat Chad Dawson now and they would both beat the version Ward faced. Would they beat a prime LHW Dawson? No they'd barely win a round between the pair of them and/or possibly get stopped too but don't big up that win for Ward proper boxing people know it's tainted.

 

Carl Froch arguably has a better record than Ward at 168lbs though just because he lost a points decision in Ward's turf. Ward was gassed at the end of that fight too. He won first 9 but then he was done.

End of Ward blatantly lost to Kovalev first time second has a big asterisk over it. Canelo beat Kovalev who was still a champion and won all 4 belts at SMW. He has at least an equal resume with Ward 168+ and then he's got all his achievements at 160 and 154. Ward was massively over rated.

 

You don't think Ward would get destroyed by Bivol like? There's a reason he retired after fighting the alcoholic Kovalev because he knew he couldn't beat the likes of Bivol and Beterbiev even Froch said this about Ward.

For the record as well Trout and Lara didn't beat Canelo and they didn't deserve to either, Mayweather's a different class to Ward and all these 3 fights you mentioned were fights in a completely different phase of Canelo's career he's improved a lot since. Did Golovkin beat Canelo yes but Trout and Lara didn't and power was a factor in why Lara didn't was because his punches weren't effecting Canelo enough to deter him so he got walked down and outworked.

Ward doesn't have the engine to work at the pace Bivol did and he wouldn't get away with his incessant fowling against Canelo which is a massive part of his game.

I really hope they get Ward out of retirement for this because it would really prove a point.

 

Another thing I might add is that Callum Smith was a respectable champ who won the S6 himself, dealt with Groves easier than Froch did and I think a factor in Canelo winning that so easily was that Smith was weight drained. I bet you now Smith goes on a decent run at lhw. The level that Smith was drained vs how Dawson was vs Ward doesn't compare though.

 

He did in the build I remember him asking for a catchweight before it.

 

He was well past it vs both of them. I never said he wasn't past it vs Canelo course he was but he didn't beat Canelo like he beat Ward did he? and it was well documented he was having drink problems in the build up to the rematch.

All I said was he still had WBO trinket when Canelo beat him and Ward's win shouldn't stand he was losing the fight then he low blowed him. How can that even be classed as a win? He blatantly list the first fight too.

 

Just shows how slow you are saying guess who else beat Groves when I already acknowledged Froch did but Smith did it in better fashion. All 3 of the champions mentioned are better wins than Chad Dawson. That literally is how paper thin Ward's resume.

 

You're the one chalking Chad Dawson off as a great win then saying I'm going through mental gymnastics lol.
