    Andre Ward looks really quite dull to me.
    I really think perhaps IDKSAB.
    I don't see the amazing speed and amazing footwork. He looks like he's getting slow and flat-footed to me. I see a good smart fighter but not an exceptional one.
    I've only been watching boxing 30 years. I guess i need to see more fighters to understand how great Ward is??

    IIs he on the same level as Virgil Hill even?

    I remember watching Kovalev work the bag and mitts, thinking even i look better at times. A month later he took Hopkins to school. :qmeparto:

    He's the best boxer in the sport period. If you don't know why by now you never will. I'm sure even after he beats kovalev you guys will find some way to take credit away from him

    utterly embarrassing post, you clearly then have zero understanding of boxing or technique

    No actually I'm a real boxing fan I give credit where credit is due. Kovalev is one of my favorite fighters

    Bite me. My point is that sometimes we make mistakes. I looked at one video and made up my mind.

    Can,t believe that Kovalev is the underdog!!! Ward doesn,t have the punching power to beat him...

    I don't see how you can be sure of this. He needs to prove it (and I think he will) to be ranked top 3 right now imo.

    Pam Grier's t!ts fell off the "p4p" list years ago, and I say that bear in mind I rate her in completeness top 3 ATG p4p, and her t!ts #1 at HW.
    No one can live off the glory of stuff they did years ago. Not when it comes to rating alongside current competition.
