    Most unlikeable fighter and person in boxing history.

    With all due respect, this is delusional hating.

    “Dodgy officiating” is a nice buzzword stated here as a fact, but not backed up by any evidence in this post and surely without any knowledge of how boxing commissions select officials for fights of championship level magnitude.

    Ward did lose Kovalev I on my scorecard (113-114), but laid the blueprint to beat him in the late rounds and took his soul in the second fight. An immediate rematch to settle the score in a controversial fight would earn kudos from all except those experts who frequent boxing forums.

    Andre Ward is absolutely an all-time great. Not even a question. Please delete this post and repost it in a public space where you have to associate your identity with this horrendous opinion. Thank you.
