Ward has only had 21 fights and has just beaten the favourite for the Super Six tournament, who has himself gone on to beat Froch, putting pay to the stupid notion that Kessler was somehow "shot" just because he lost to Ward. Who had Pavlik fought and beat at that stage of his career? In fact who has Pavlik ever beat? He has a good stoppage win against Miranda and good back to back wins against Taylor. But was horribly schooled for every second of every round against Hopkins and comfortably beaten by a career Welterweight/Light Middleweight in Martinez. The rest of the guys he's fought are nothing note worthy. Your illogical support for Pavlik is one thing, but trying to belittle the achievements of other fighters in the process, just because people say they would beat your hero, makes you look even more stupid than you already do.
well thats what happens when you face someone with talent and not spoon fed no hopers in your backyard. kessler just got a dose of realty just like your boy palik:deal
We know Pavlik is a hype job put of there to give white Americans someone to root for but Ward seems to be a decent figther. Ward has more to do to prove himself but I am sure he would beat Pavlik.
+1 Above average speed and movement seems to be the formula to neutralize Pav. Ward is apt in both departments. He's also a natural 168 lb fighter so there's no reason to think that Pav would have a stylistic chance in this one.
Oh snap, didn't see the Zelenoff option, so I would take zele KO1 both ward and pav at the same time. He is that good.
It's OK booradley. Just relax and let him go LOL. If you don't like ward that much and feel he is over-rated, You should sit back and enjoy his 3rd round matchup with dirrell. Dirrell is gonna take wards 0.
