    Get round to fighting someone with the equivalent skill set & natural ability of a Rigondeaux type iyo? Who was 'there Rigo' & how far into there careers where they when they fought them? I'm not an expert on either man so you will have to enlighten me :)

    Floyd would have sat the Rigo fight out until Rigoblin got a few more miles or lost by a knockout. Ward would have only fought him in Oakland with his family members as judges and a American ref that his type of person.

    Both are NOT going to be missed :)

    Floyd had Manny and Ward had Kovalev.
    Fair assessment, i think.

    Is that that guy who stopped GG in front of 80000 people at Wembley stadium? I repeat, is that that guy who stopped GG in front of 80000 people at Wembley stadium?

    Wait 80000 people? Surely if you stopped groves in front of 80000 people at a packed Wembley area you would mention it but I've never heard the cobra bring it up before.

    There was no one around PBF's weight that was of equal skill or natural ability. The closest guy with the best natural ability was Zab with PBF and PBF beat him.:deal: With Ward there were some guys with more natural ability which is why I was mad that he didn't fight Dirrell who would have bothered him with his speed and reflexes.

    If the guy stopped GG in front of 80000 people at Wembley stadium I wouldn't have to repeat it because if you stopped GG in front of 80000 people at Wembley stadium surely it would be common knowledge? I mean the guy stopped GG in front of 80000 people at Wembley stadium! Could u confirm that he stopped GG in front of 80000 people at Wembley stadium?
