    Close fight could’ve gone either way.. BoxingScene actually scored that for Ward, their cards are always on point. Second fight Kovalev got demolished his own trainer later said he can’t take body shots.
    Not true

      You’ve got to be joking me. LOL James Toney would’ve pulverised Calzaghe
      Except Hopkins went on to fight for another eight years beating the likes of Pavlik, Cloud, Pascal and barely losing to Dawson. Your 'prime' Hopkins sc****d through against Segundo Mercado the only time he left North America.

      As for Toney, now if Montell Griffin could outbox him twice - I'm damn sure someone with the footwork and output of Calzaghe could do it

        Both of those decisions were highly questionable and Griffin fought nothing like Calzaghe.

          Lots of revisionist history going on here, the first Kovalev fight was a 9 to 3 or an 8 to 4 type fight, in fact it was such a decisive win their was no need for a rematch.

            Really hyped to see this! One of the greatest boxing IQ's of all time! Despite all the hate, Andre Ward was truly an amazing talent

              By stating you are a dumbass that had me triggered? Yet here you are responding, you can't make this **** up.

              It's always funny to me when people make a statement and then when you ask them to provide examples they shell up and start making **** up lmao. You know what I said is true, name those fighters now boy.

              Talking about Garcia's career when you have test dodging Inoue as your avatar hahahaha, Inoue's best win is a past prime Donaire who he struggled with in the first fight.

                Overrated. Tell us when Ward captured our hearts and minds. Oh, the TV show is supposed to do that.

                  You're right, Calzaghe had a better engine and a better in-out game

                    That’s how I feel about Bud. At least Ward fought most of the top guys he could. Even with all his career roadblocks.

                      As much as I hate to admit it, that's true. I love Bud and his skills but he has no signature win that would truly cement his legacy.
