    GGG did well to pressure Canelo, seeing as GGG's best performance before that was knocking out Haircut Smellieux.

    But its obvious why he couldnt win, his level is lower. Canelo went past that whilst he was still a light middleweight.

      Like I said, 5% of fights are 'either way, 50/50' type of fights. Those 2 fights weren't. Canelo just got outworked by GGG. What I saw bears that out, as do the numbers. Just how it was.

      If you guys want to pretend Canelo won, I don't care. I knew GGG needed to completely dominate or stop Canelo to win so I wasn't even surprised or bothered on the nights when they gave Canelo the draw and win.

      That's boxing. But yeah GGG was the better man those nights. He's just a better fighter than Canelo. No shame in that though, GGG is a great one. Jab, power, workrate, hard to hurt. He's a tough matchup for anyone really.

          By the way, I think those cuts, at least GGG's came in the last round as a result of the fight with a headbutt.

          Regardless, you don't score fights based on a shaded picture after the fight lol.

          You guys are weird as hell man.

            Canelo's pic is after the fight. He covered the cut on his face. His eyes are swollen.

            GGG's is during the fight. He has a black eye and a smaller cut lol.

            Lol you guys are pathetic lol...you have nothing and have to grasp at straws.

            It's like you don't even realize that the pics you put out show virtually no difference between the two guys lololol

                Is this even a question? Ward won a gold medal, the super 6 and ko'd Kov when he was in his prime.

I think it wasn't as much of a home field advantage for Ward, and the scorecards bore that out. They were closer than they would have been in Oakland. The right man won that night. It was a 7-5 type of fight. But if Ward ever traveled in his career, he would have had to deal with a more neutral ref, more neutral judges, and a more hostile crowd than he was used to. In large degree in all 3 areas.

                  Kessler was the 1 seed. He shouldn't have had to fight the 8 seed in the 8 seed's hometown. If you're just a boxing fan, we should all agree on that one.

                  it's a more neutral sight than anywhere in europe. atlantic city is a ******** locale, attracts a casual audience who are mostly there for the tables and to have a good time. it's 3000 miles from oakland. say that out loud if you must. it's not much further away from oakland than it is from nottingham.

                  they could have fought in froch's backyard with rachel cordingly reffing. he could have fought kessler on a viking ship in denmark. if you thought that was 7-5 you're not worth the 15-30 seconds it takes to type out a response to you! as the kids are saying, sheeeesh!

                    2 judges had it 7-5. Did they not know what they were talking about? Did Ward get treated unfairly, in the US? lol. Ward won but he gave away some rounds to make it close.

                    If he fought Froch in the UK, maybe he gets bad cards instead of good ones like he always got. If he fought Kessler in a neutral site or away, he probably gets penalized more in that fight. Just how it was man. It's pretty obvious.

                      Ward had 5 fights. 3 In Oakland, 1 more in California against a German, and the final one in New Jersey against an Englishman.

                      Just stop talking.
                      Definitely I can stop talking. Because theres nothing wrong with what I wrote - Ward fought 4 opponents with 50/50 at home, same ratio as kessler.

                      ... but you need to keep talking.

                      IN ORDER to tell us about this other mysterious 5th man that you claim Ward fought besides Kessler, Green, Abraham and Froch.


                      Was it Sven THE GHOST Otkke?
