    Nah, it's just hard hearing Ward talk about how a guy he ducked into retirement to avoid, is now "beatable". Especially considering Beterbiev KO'd Browne and was ahead on all cards prior. Everybody is beatable, it's just a matter of someone with the skills, determination and balls to actually step up and do it. I don't see Alvarez doing it anytime soon.


    Dude, who gives a **** about Beterbiev coming from behind to KO Browne or any of the other guys who allowed him to do that crap. Best believe, Canelo's punches will be accurate and intentional- EARLY. There won't be any such thing as, "Did you see Artur was down on ALL of the cards until he came back and KO'd (insert fighter's name)"?

    I mean, who even promotes a fighter like that anyway? Where's the beauty in being outgunned until he lands something big? Didn't yall clown Wilder for that? C'mon now! That robotic fool has NOTHING for Canelo and he'll find himself in quicksand like the others have.

    And Artur was NOBODY when Ward won the titles at 175. He had only beaten a shot Campillo and a beyond shot Tavoris Cloud. None of those wins are impressive enough to mention his name in the same sentence as the GOAT.

    Artur's on borrowed time and you know it.

      Beterbiev KOed Browne coming from behind? I must've watched a completely different fight.

        Everybody's on borrowed time, my friend. I'll believe Canelo will make easy work of Beterbiev when I see it. But first, he has to make the fight. And if you are referring to Ward as the GOAT....

As to your point about Canelo taking on a faded Kovalev, and weak competition in general, spot on, I couldn't agree more!
                fair enough.

Fighters today seem to have more courage than the Ward's and Bradley's of yesteryear's, I wish Roy Jones Jr. and Big George were still the color commentators. They actually had fantastic careers and didn't seem to hate on others boxers as much. Ward and Bradley need to accept who the were as fighters and be proud of it, they were both decent to great boxers at times.Jealousy is ugly.
                    That would be a lie. Ward fought and beat Kessler, Froch, and Kovalev in their primes.

                      I don’t get what you are saying is a lie. He fought those guys and won. It didn’t make him undisputed, it may him the winner of an odd tournament for unifications. He won ugly a lot too. Holding, headbutts and low blows were trademarks of those wins you just named. Then he retired young. There some regrets right there. He knows he was a lot better than the career he had.
