Ward has not had to face an undefeated world champ or a top prime SMW and the era does not look as strong as yester-year in SMW or LHW, so now would be the time to go for it
test my 'double standards'...but you can't use bogus belts, which have been the cornerstone of your argument when you're pushed into a corner what don't you agree with?
Hes beaten several players. Remember how you raved about Martinez and how he is MW champ and has this better resume and then we compared and found that in Martinez 6 defences, Sturm has also fought 3 of them and then found that overall Sturm had done every bit if not more. Is Cotto a player at MW :think
bute was no world champion...nevermind undefeated defend him based on his resume and how do you know when Kessler and froch weren't prime? Kessler was pre-tourney favorite, and if you were born on ward's patch of ground, you'd be saying: "ward did what calzaghe could not...he beat froch who he ran from, and a prime Kessler" you're like a lawyer...but give it your best shot
I have often agreed with the debate about belts. You say I dont agree with certain things to try and strengthen a weak arguement, when I agree with certain things. I can only think you do that to appear stronger than you are? I do think that you get a bit wrapped up in a magazine title though. Tell me who YOU think is that champ at LHW, MW, SMW and WW
you conceded that 2 belts would be better. I disagreed and said one is the only credible way to go but you still tried to mount a defense for felix sturm, who is a posterchild for everything that is wrong in the sport give me a defense for him without using belts
He should fight and get knocked out by Golovkin before retiring. The least he can do is improve the resume of the greatest boxer in all of Kazakhstan.
if the US networks back a division (like they didn't with SMW and calzaghe, and again now with HW and klitschko), where do you think that puts sturm in the playing field? consider how many champions at MW have their heritage from Bernard Hopkins, who was the MW god for many years
You havent answered about who you think a player at MW is. How is sturm who has beaten so many top MWs bad for the sport. I suppose Quillin must be doing a better job by being based in America atsch
