    Look brother, it's a cold ****ing world out there, nobody is gonna give you anything. If something means more to you than all else, go out and TAKE IT. If that means bending the rules and stacking the deck then you better do it, and youre right, I can relate because that's what id do. History is written by the victors, rarely is it ever the actual truth or whole truth of what took place.

    If you have a good education and a good job you don't need to act like dumpster trash.

    If you say so bud. Rarely does anyone in any field make it to the top because they are best at it and most talented. 9/10 it's the people with the most grit, drive, and ruthlessness.

    But yes, I'm sure you are much more intelligent than I and have a much better paying and comfortable job. I'll be the first to admit I'm relatively simple and ive said numerous times I'm a manual labor worker.

    Alvarez does seem good. I am curious to see if he can win on Saturday, how he does in the next few years. He has to weather the storm against Kovalev. Thing is Kovalev now has guys aiming for his chin. They know he was knocked out a couple of times and he can go down. The thing is how much do they have to soften him up to stop him. Alvarez might go for the knockout too early and get himself knockedout. He has to weather the storm early.

    Actually those that make it to the top need to have competence/ability, including grit, drive and ruthlessness, you will hardly ever make it with just toughness and dullness. Ward benefited from a corrupt system that favors Domestic A side divas, Kovalev would have needed a knock out to win, Ward played NO part in it, he was simply favored.

    You have a weird way of employing mental gymnastics.

    Ward is a masterful ball puncher and a billy goat head ramming gentleman.

    Hard to get behind Kovalev given the recent accusations against him. Innocent until proven guilty but it's hard to look at him the same for the time being at least....

    Compared to Kovalev he’s the classiest guy that ever walked the face of the earth.

    He never punched Kov in the balls, the last shot before Weeks stopped it was borderline but nowhere near the balls. The only person robbed in that fight was Ward, robbed of a clean stoppage by Tony Weeks, a stoppage that was 100% inevitable.

    Stop it bro, Kovalev is a front-runnwe and won the first four rounds and was subsequently completely solved and found out by Ward. It was close, I had Ward winning, can't see how others could have had Kovalev winning but it was close, suggesting he would have needed a KO to win because he lost a razor close decision -- which he did in reality, is an excuse that a ***** fanboy would make. You're better than that. Maybe Ward was a diva, everyone has their opinion, but ya, he was without a doubt the A-side because he earned it by beating all his opponents and a lot of very good/great fighters. There was no corruption involved. I'm sure his amateur success was all due to corruption as well, that would make total sense.

    It was corruption, Kovalev won the first but got shafted by the judges, and got screwed in the rematch due to bad officiating (low blows).

    We will never convince one another to agree with our own perspectives. Notice though under the official results of both matches, that Ward was named as the official winner unanimously in the first and by stoppage in the second. Kovalev -- f he felt he was being roughoused by Ward, should have rogered up and gave back just like he was getting. He didn't and instead used it as an escape and excuse. He knows deep down who his daddy is, actually now he has two of them.

    If Kovalev punched Ward in the balls he would have been DQed immediately.
    He was stupid to accept that fight against all these corrupt shameless idiots. Oh well, at least andre "meh" ward retired.

    Very probable. To bend the rules and get away with doing it you have to be smart enough in the first place to get away with it. If Kovalev ever did intentionally punch a fighter in the balls I can't see it being anything other than a loaded up and sat down on bomb which couldnt be mistaken as anything other than blatant.
