    the buzz phrase bothers you because it has never been, nor ever will be, applied to your favorite fighter.....just wallowing in mediocre(that's generous) garbage......

    why is he keep having tune ups?

    first it was smithy then he wanted anther tune up in December but got "injured" then he had anther tune up and then brand when is this going to end?

    Kovalev and kathy both said they was ready to fight ward straight away and its only team ward who wanted tune ups

    I've never actually commented in the years I've read this website but if certain people who I won't name have to make a different alt every 2 weeks lol they clearly don't know **** about boxing and clearly are here just to troll not to actually contribute any intellect people stop being freaking dumb ward is better than degale clearly GGG is better than everybody at middleweight and probably everybody at 168 why do people have to be so ignorant if you guys are fans of boxing why don't you try acting like it saying ward ducked degale to possibly fight Kovalev is the dumbest thing I've ever read if ward has one weakness it's his whiskers not fighting a boxer he is the master boxer not degale saying GGG is afraid of zurdo is dumb GGG is not ducking ward is not ducking they are both doing their own thing you freaking dumb Internet trolls are ridiculous must have a very very lonely life it's sad honestly

    So is every title challenger "daring to be great"?

    It don't bother me, the phrase is just stupid when applied to a fighter who is fighting a man in his own weight class.

    I haven't got a favourite fighter at this moment in time, I like quite a few.

    Nigel Benn was my favourite fighter for many years, I saw him fight live many times. I repeat, I'm British so many of my favourite fighters are British.

    Golovkin didn't want Ward period is more accurate actually. Lil' g wanted an old Froch at 168, a doped up, fruit loops eating, pink undies wearing, JCC Jr at 168, and Edwin Rodriquez at 164. But, he never wanted Ward, let's be clear on that.

    Ward is daring to be great. Because, he is not waiting to challenge the best. He is coming off a near 2 year layoff and multiple injuries, moving up in weight to face one of the biggest punchers and top P4P fighters in the sport right now. (Meanwhile Lil 'g is living up to his moniker by by bringing WWs up to MW)

    Ward doesn't need to move to cruiser to achieve the same thing. He is giving up size to Kovalev at LHW. Who the fock is at CW anyway? Lol. Please stop with the bullsh!t. Is there even a CW who is in the top 10 P4P right now? FOH.

    Why didn't he fight DeGale in a far bigger money fight?

    ur a guy who could easily make a 168 fight if he wants...like ward wanted to do with golovkin...it was the only 168 fight he wanted or was considering.....so when ggg told him he wanted no parts he moved fully to 175 in order to take on a beast in kovalev instead of fighting a boxer like degale that no one cared to see him fight

    No one cared to see him fight? that would of been a bigger fight then GGG vs ward

    it would of been a huge event in uk but ward doesnt like to travel or risk a loss

    Of course Kathy and Kovalev were ready to fight Ward coming off a near 2 year layoff from injuries, etc. Of course they were. [emoji57]

    Why wouldn't he need a few tuneups, given the situation, is the question? Evidently, Kovalev needed them too, given how he looked against Chilemba.[emoji1]
