    I like Bradley. He doesn't finish the job but he fights all the way. I won't blame him for the Alexander fight being shit. He's not the one who ruined it. Don't care much for Ward though and even less so for Dawson. But to their credit, all these guys seem to win their fights decisively, despite how they fashion them.

      When Ward/Bradley have the balls and FIGHT as long as Wlad has and never DUCK anyone and still maintain almost a 90% KO Record, let me know. Ward hasnt been outside his State, Bradley just ducked Khan.

      I swear, some of the posters here have some ****** in their family. Are your mom and dad brother/sister?

        Those guys are all garbage. Lucian Bute is clearly better all time, he KO'd Librado Andrade.

          Chad Dawson has some wins over decent opponents: twice over Johnson, twice over a past-prime Tarver, a weight-drained Adamek, and now a win over Diaconu.

          Andre Ward has had decision wins over Bika, Kessler, Abraham, Green and Miranda.

          Timothy Bradley has several decision wins over contenders as well.

          But none of those three fighters have ever had an impressive KO or TKO win over another contender in their respective weight divisions.

          I think all three are capable of putting on more impressive performances and stopping some of their opponents, but they are overly defensive-minded and seem completely content with dull decision wins, even though most fans find KO wins more exciting.
          It's part of the change in boxing.

          Two things that were both discussed last night.

          1) Many fighters have adopted using their power hand as their jab hand. While that's great because it's the hand thrown for 75% of punches, it doesn't exactly lead to KOs.

          That's because you get more torque, power, etc by using your power hand as the far hand.

          2) Advertising. Ring advertising is destroying the possibility of good exchanges. Fighters are more worried about their footing slipping on some ad space than they are about fighting.

            2) becoming silly and making ridiculous attempts at sarcastic comments.

              Lot of hate there....

              How about giving the man credit. He got KOd, he worked hard, and became the best. And as said, maintains a very high KO% for wins, never ducks, etc.

                Their careers are not over genius. You say Bradley ducked Khan? Who has Ward ducked? I'll wait.


                The proof of your ignorance is in your post history. Posting racist comments and race baiting on a daily basis in NSB doesn't require skill or intelligence. It only shows how limited and dumb you are as a boxing fan and as a person in general.

                  Yet those three would probably wip any of your favorit fighters in their division.

                    ...just taking your inconsistent "logic" based on skin-color and nation to it's extreme. Why you ducking the Pascal questions turncoat? Your boy has KO'd no one of note and you had him in your avatar until he lost. Why do you defend him? It couldn't be that he lives in Canadia could it?

                    I'd never have boring fighters without KO power like Bradley and Pascal as my avatar...
