    As far as the Ward ducking come on Ward was a weight or two bigger,, Fought as a light heavy in the amateurs. Since when is a guy so GOOD that all the haters have to knock him for not fighting a bigger man psh lol why didn't Floyd ever fight B hop ill tell you why there are weight classes for a reason duh lol

    Light heavy amateur isn't the same as light heavy pro.
    Ward had fights at 160 when he turned pro and was a career super middle weight. He wasn't a natural 175 pounder , he just had the gonads to fight the champ one weight above him , unlike GGG.
    Froch was bigger than Ward.

    Calling Canelo the most corrupt and protected fighter is reaching.

    Besides the Mayweather and the first GGG fight the other decisions weren’t that big a deal.

    Lara put up a good fight, but also threw away a lot of rounds by not punching just like Peterson, who threw away half of the rounds against Garcia and then was shocked he didn’t get the decision.

    Also, Trout-Canelo wasn’t a close fight. Trout was keeping up with Canelo, but after Canelo knocked Trout down Trout was barely landing any clean shots, so 118-109 seemed fair, since Trout only really won 2 or maybe 3 rounds.

    Against Khan the score cards didn’t matter, since it was only a matter of time before Canelo knocked him out, since Canelo was barely even bothering to defend because he knew Khan couldn’t hurt him.

    It was probably the reason Canelo was at a lower weight and people like yourself wanted Canelo to face ggg when Canelo had 0 fights at 160, and why didn't ggg take the offer of a 155 catch weight fight? Because in reality Canelo didn't need ggg at all ggg had done nothing but beat a bunch of bums imo he didn't deserved a big payday, and that's a myth busll crap that ggg all of the sudden "slow " down, only reason he looked like that was because he started fighting live opponents because he looked like a prime beast again on his "tune up" against Vanes, just wait and see he will look prime again against the next bum he is schedule to fight next

    Lol making excuses for ggg because Ward was one division above? But trash Canelo for not fighting ggg who was above a weight as well? At least Canelo had the guts to move up and test himself, while ggg at the age of 37 has only fought 2 top elites all his career

    No you're wrong.

    Heavyweight at the 2004 Olympics was 81 - 91 kgs (178.5 - 200lbs ) .

    Light heavy was 75–81 kg (165-178lbs)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_at_the_Summer_Olympics

    All different sized guys fought at LHW in 2004

    Ward was a Middle
    Clemente Russo was a heavyweight
    Shumenov was a lhw/cruiser

    Ward fought at LHW cos he didn't want to compete against his countryman Dirrell. He was a small guy fighting bigger guys.

    Amateur weight is NOT the same as pro weight.

    Is Povetkin a Super HW?
    Is Shaun Porter a Middle?

    Canelo was a MW and gave up his middleweight belt. Ward wasn't and didn't.

    If you meant amateur and not an Olympian , then Ward was a amateur middle weight , not a light heavy weight like you originally stated.

    So it's fine because it is?

    That's all I read then. The cards were all bad cards, and let's just say that Khan did go the distance and was robbed as well just like GGG, he would've been robbed of his greatest moment, that is wrong imo
