    He's probably much closer to that than the armed criminal you'd have him out to be.

    Give it a rest Doc.

    You and Barcham are haters pure and simple.

    If Ward goes on to fight and beat Kovalev, you'll have to hope that threads like these don't get bumped.

    Pascal is more dangerous than any guy who Ward ever fought? Really?

    Froch was shop ward when he fought Ward?

    You mean before he went out and destroyed Bute?

    The hate is stronger than I thought.

    Do you really think Ward is ready for Brand? He might need a tune up first.

    Also, Brand had to sign a clause forbiding him to hit hard.

    Yeah, I'm sure he could have gotten Groves and Callum Smith. :lol:

    Seriously, why do you care who Ward fights?

    You should be HAPPY that he's fighting anybody. Because again, it just puts him closer to a bigger fight down the line. If you want to see Kovalev knock him out, then just let it pass. And when Ward comes on, don't watch him. Wait until his fight's finished, and then watch Canelo-Cotto. But my guess is, you'll watch the fight and pay close attention to it, just so as you can come on here to rip him the following day.

    You and Doc need to start up a hate club.

    Once a rapper has a breakthrough album, the hardships are over. Jay Z spent his career stealing lyrics from Biggie, Pun, etc, and screaming "its yo boy" on the mic. Ward fought his way to the top, fair and square. In other words, I hope Ward milks Jay for all he is worth.

    He was out 19 months before Smith.

    I really don't know why anybody's surprised at what Ward's doing.

    He has bee largely inactive over the past few years, so the tune ups are there to just get his fight legs back under him. That can't be simulated in sparring, so I don't blame him. Someone of his skill though should be tuning up with maybe a little better comp though.

    Astute observation, Loudon.

    To be fair, Pascal is very good, and would be a top 3 scalp on Ward's resume.

    It's not about Brand, I thought you knew that. He went for GGg and couldn't get that so now he's going for Kovalev. Those are business moves, get a clue.
