Comments Thread For: Paul Smith Confident He Can Chin Check Andre Ward

What interesting about it is that everyone fights tune-up tomato's . GGG , Cotto's last two fights have been tune ups , Pac/Algeri ect ect , but when Ward does it , it's a travesty .

[SugarRaRobinson]

Then why do GGG critics demand that he move up to 168,and his first fight should be ward,instead of gradually moving up to the division? Double standards?

I can only suggest that it's because GGG and his camp placed the wolf ticket for sale that stated he'd fight anyone from 154 to 168 .

Furthermore , if GGG started taking catch weight fights north of 160 to gradually work his way up , I don't think he'd catch much flak . But since he's content to stay at 160 and fight tomato's after he sold that wolf ticket , he deserving in catching the flak . I like GGG and like most , I don't marginalize his accomplishments , but like ward , it is time to move toward more competitive pastures because we don't need u to capture all belts in that weight class to realize your the best in it !

When you're considered to be one of the best p4p fighters in the world, the heir to the number one p4p status once Floyd retires your expectations are going to be different from most fighters.

Plus a lot of people give guys like ggg, Pacquiao and Cotto crap when fighting weak opposition.

It's boxing, anything is possible with a long lay off like this.

ward ducking kovalev, he wants to fight bums then gets mad when he has to fight a real opponent......he wanted to fight dimitry sartison hahahaha I give ward credit but he's beatable if he's not allowed to hold constantly.

ninja please....whenever Krusher gets to put hands on Adonis and clear up that mess at LHW...watch SOG swoop in and snatch up the winner....mark my words!!!

[alexguiness]

Absolutely the most pointless fight av ever heard of taking place. I like smith but he's at least 3 levels below ward. This is folly

I like Paul Smith as well, but he is 4-5 levels below Ward.

Can't blame him for taking the fight though...

Super middleweight contender Paul Smith (35-5, 20KOs) is not delusional. He knows that his chances of outboxing Andre Ward (27-0, 14KOs) is practically non-existent. Smith challenges Ward on June 20th at the Oracle Arena in Oakland. It will be Ward's first fight since November 2013 and it takes place at a catch-weight of 172-pounds. The fight will be televised by BET.

John Smith is a beast... I wonder why Ward took that fight -- he could call Sartison instead.
