Are you sure you know what pedantic means? Use it in another sentence. Also, illustrate which part of what you quoted was "pedantic". I mentioned both the Hopkins rematch and the Ward farce. There were commonalities in the two performances, although obviously the weight did affect him and the former performance was much better than the latter. (beyond just the quality of the opponent at the time, or the result) He isn't the same Bad Chad he was a few years ago.
Chad only has himself to blame for his decline, he made a lot of stupid decisions in career way before the Ward fight. But he clearly was effected by the weight against Ward, he looked dead, his feet glued to the canvas. As for the rematch with Ward. If Dawson wins and looks good in his next couple fights, yeah I would like to see a rematch, but that's IF Dawson wins his next fight.
Martinez should move up in weight. If dirrell comes back strong I'd like to see that fight too. Those two are the biggest threats to ward right now IMO
well ward is the type of guy who will stay at what ever weight is best for his health. he wont move up unless its what is best for him physically. if he stays at 168 he can fight kelly pavlik like i think he is going to unless the whole shoulder injury completely threw it off. then sense he already fought everyone from the super six and bute is gonna be tied up in the rematch clause with froch. i think after kelly , ward is gonna have to fight the young fighters like tommy gun and edwin . but if he moves up he can fight pascal/dawson winner. lets hope it is pascal so we dont gotta see a rematch or fight the winnner of cloud and bhop. then there is still campillo,cleverly, sheumenov also at 168 if dirrell would get himself active he could easily get himself in the mix and little dirrell as well.
There are some good fights for Ward imo. at smw : - the winner between Kessler and Froch ( Vegas / N.Y ). - if Bute will look good against Froch in rematch , there u have a new fight. - Andre Dirrell would be a good match for Ward , but is very far to happen. at LHW : rematch Dawson ( Vegas / N.Y ) Pascal Gabriel Campillo ( the uncrown IBF champ ) Cloud
Ward is the GSP of boxing. Safe/boring.... Although his last bout was more exciting, I'd like to see that Ward evolve into more... Bute Vs Ward would be good, I'm telling you....
It's unfortunate for Ward, but his style just is not appealing whatsoever, nor is his story or personality. He wins, and will keep on winning, but it's just "meh" and the division he's in, and the TWO above it are pretty bad right now. He's stuck between a rock and a hard place, as one of the best in boxing, who barely anyone want's to buy a ticket to see.
