    So why bash Ward for that?? If I were gonna do some bashing I'd bash stars who are ppv fighters looking to fight the likes of Amir khan while being universally recognized as the sports best. That's bash worthy. Not a winner of the super-six and an injury plagued fighter trying to scratch a living. That's lame.
    Of all I said the only critique I pointed of Ward was his over clinching and his headbutts that's it, you can't call that bashing because its the TRUTH.

      It's your tread. I simply think it crazy to (bash) Ward just to get your point for Rigo across. They're in the (same) boat. I don't see how posting a video of Kessler after he got his a$$ whopped and crying foul changes that.

          Whether the comparison fell on Ward, it was because they are in the same boat, just like you said. Ward is a great human being no doubt, just like some people are not fond of Guillermo's style of boxing, some others are not fond of Ward's style of boxing.

          The video proves some of the critiques I've had shared of him is all, I talk facts and that specific fight was stopped due to a headbutt in the 11th round. We don't know what would have happened in the 12th, lot of things could have happened.

            Winner. And him working for hbo doesn't hurt

              So the comparison fell on another fighter who's doing marginally better only do to the weightclass he fights in?? That's even worse then. You know they're in the same boat but chose to bash Ward?? You could have done the tread and be far more effective with someone else who's defensive and doesn't fight thee most dangerous guys available. But instead you chose another fighter who does slightly better to bash. As if he doesn't get his share already.

                I've stated before why I'm comparing those 2, if you don't read what I've posted earlier then it not my problem.

                Critique =/= bashing.

                Talking about bashing you should stop BASHING Mayweather in this thread because no one is talking about him. The blatant hate you have for him is another issue.

                  So you say you're not hating, followed up by "most of his fights are a frenzy of headbutts and hugging". Then turn around and now say you're not bashing?? I smell bull$h!t.

                  I can do sizes too. Doesn't change anything.

                  My entire point consists on something you're not seeming to comprehend. Why (bash) Ward when he's in the same boat. When there is a similar fighter who does his on ppv??

                    1, ward is american rigo is not.

                    2, ward has gotten somewhat better in terms of delivering some kind of action unlike rigo who is still excessively defensive and does not throw enough punches.

                    3, ward can speak english and has the look and size while rigo is barely 3'5, cant speak a lick of english and looks like he lives in a rawandan village.

                      Ward is just painful to watch!

                      Golovkin, absolutely watch any time of the week, hell I'd rather watch Rigondeaux over Ward, let me hug you at home in Oakland, anyday! Watching Ward is like watching paint dry but the paint might actually be more interesting! I don't like Floyd Mayweather but I'd rather watch him than Ward, Ward brings nothing that is remotely enjoyable or watchable! Wake me up when he does!
