Let's not overrated the division Abraham is not as good @168 as he was @ 160 Kessler wasn't 100% + was not in this prime anymore but still very good win for Ward. Green was never a top 10 fighter @168 Bika wasn't in this prime anymore but still good win Froch was a very big win for Ward and still his biggest today Ward should have fought Bute after the supersix. If Golovkin KO's Lemiuex and then Cotto or Canelo he is very close to Ward's resume
Was the Froch win better than the Kessler for Ward? I think so. Kessler was a crude one dementional fighter. But so was Froch. Those style fighters don't know how to bend their waist and have cement in their shoes. All they can do is pack a decent punch. J. Taylor was kicking Froch's ass until he ran out of gas.
Who is afraid of Ward ? I am all for GGG vs Ward after Gennady unifies MW. Boring, clinching, head butting, home fighting Ward just needs to get in line. Him asking for 50% at 168 is also ridiculous. He can stuck his superior resume into his a$$. People don't pay to watch resumes. They pay to see exciting fights.
Exciting is subjective skills aren't.:deal Ward is very skilled and GGG needs Ward more than Ward needs GGG. Ward is the more proven fighter here not the other way around remember that.:deal
I'm against it because it's premature for him to face Ward before he's done in his division, that's literally the only reason (don't bother with your arguments, I don't give a **** beating this dead horse anymore). I don't think it's that great of a fight either, it's two good names but I think the fight will be reminiscent of Froch-Ward which I honestly disliked, thought that was a **** fight. All in all, Ward moved up, we're probably never going to see it given his previous comments about not moving back down if he moves up (if those rumous are true), so this one's dead in the water now, I don't see any purpose of talking or creating threads about it.
I mean why don't people talk about Rigo-Loma anymore? It's the same thing, the fight's not happening. Get over it.
I'm not a fan of his tbh. I wanted Murray and Macklin to beat him. Is he moves up and loses to Ward, then say loses to DeGale. .. He'll be another Abraham. I'd rather see him prove himself at MW first.
