    Ward :pipi
    Pimp C:eek: :pipi

    Golovkin's team floated the fight at 168 but coWard was too female dog to take it. THAT is an actual, real fact, a fact from Ward's own mouth.
    Certainly not. Golovkin wanted the fight and Ward said "no" to it twice.

    That makes coWard a big furry cat :flipa:

    Usyk, probably best example of a "road warrior". I can't wait to see how he fairs at HW.

    Just realised I read the title wrong, thought it was who would fight anyone. Not who fought anyone.

    Froch is clearly bigger than Ward. You said he was smaller than Ward. That statement is incorrect.

    How is that then, how is clearly bigger? because when they fought ward was half a pound bigger at the weigh in and he fought at 175lbs, where as froch didnt.

    Froch is clearly smaller than Ward that's why he made the weight easier than Ward did.

    Maybe we should have a Professional Opponent Hall of Fame Thread for these unheralded warriors that underpin our beloved sport?

    Thoughts @CST80? You're usually up for championing the under appreciated...

    I don't remember Ward having issues making weight when he fought at 168. Inactivity and moving up another weight class is going to make it hard for anybody to make a former weight , including Froch if he was in the same situation.

    Froch lived a malicious disciplined lifestyle to stay around fighting weight all year around. Once he retired and stopped living that strict lifestyle , 168 was no longer an option for him.
    He was only retired a year when he told Loefler a GGG fight would have to be at 172 because he couldn't make weight anymore.

    Froch managed his weight and trained to a level only few are capable of in this sport. Everybody makes weight differently.. Lemiuex got hospitalized trying to make 160 yet he's smaller than GGG.

    Froch lived a dedicated life so he could to stay close to his fighting weight all year around. He knew how hard it would be to make the weight if he didn't. He matches Johnny Nelson for size these days and Nelson was a Cruiser weight

    The only thing clear here is your lack of knowledge , either that or your intentionally lying to push your biased agenda. I go with the latter.

    Froch is smaller because he is.. No, Froch is bigger or at the very least , the same size as Ward.

    I never said Froch was smaller because he is.

    Rather he is smaller because he had an easier time making weight and keeping weight on was harder on him. He could have made weight at 160. Could Ward have ever made 160?

    Yeah , you basically did. You have no argument whatsoever.

    You just keep saying he smaller , over and over, despite him being taller broader and having a larger reach. Both guys are retired and Froch is clearly bigger , just as he was in the ring when they fought.

    Froch fought his entire career at 168. Ward had fights at 160 when he was younger on the way up.
    Making a weight doesn't = size. Does Canelo look two divisions bigger than Jared Hurd??

    Hurd is skinny as hell.

    You have a disconnect here. I'm skinny myself, I'm a little dude. Being skinny has an effect on your size.

    I never said Froch was smaller because hes smaller. Hes smaller than Ward because never outgrew 168 like Ward did and he made weight easier.

    Wards legs are bigger and so is his back. Which is where the majority of your body mass is for humans.
