    Fighters today are spoiled micromanaged ******* that have no desire to do great things.
    Floyd and Pac 's ability to move up is much more to do with genetics and how young they started - especially in Pac's case. Plus in case you haven't noticed, it is easier to move up from lower weights or in reality it's easier to boil down 3/4 lbs rather than 7 or 8 lbs. Nobody questions Hagler, nor Ward, nor Froch for staying at their body's natural weight all their careers. The jump from middle to super-MW is said to be the toughest in boxing so kudos to the Hopkins and RJJs of this world as what they did is truly a rare occurrence. Cotto too has done very well moving up. But some fighters just never fill out enough to move up easily.

      Oh yeah, because a fighter fighting in his hometown isn't an advantage for him lol...

      So Roy Jones ducking that boy in Germany was for what reason again?

      Floyd always fighting in Vegas...

      Juan Diaz in Texas...

      Because you're a FIomo and now converted to a member of the Gay for Andre club..all of a sudden where the fight takes place doesn't matter

          yet he won't fight ggg at 164 if that fight ever came about? and at a 50-50 split? ward's a duck.
          Bring up something over 2yrs ago with a 19month layoff in between to try and deflect the female tendencies coming out of triple G camp last week and half

            U Ward haters r taking Wards statement too far . Firstly when Ward made that statement it was a knee-jerk reaction out of anger due to some comment Flyod made about Ward . But Ward quickly retracted the comment shortly after making it as even he realized it wasn't realistic to ever try something like that even if he wanted to . Compare that to GGG's statement who was dead serious about fighting anyone between 154-168 and never retracted or revised the statement , but now offers to fight Ward at a catch weight in a attempt to drain him = SMH.

              Avoid the fact that Ward doesn't carry the same profitability as Chavez Jr or Froch...

              Keep acting like fighters won't put themselves at more of a disadvantage for bigger paydays...

                How many close fights has Ward had? Which fight did hometown advantage benefit him? What fight did he almost lose? Don't worry I'll wait!! And what does Roy Jones have to do with this? What does Floyd Mayweather have to do with this? What does Juan Diaz have to do with this?

                Your argument has been blown to bits and you're now attempting to change the subject and mention names that have zero relevance to this discussion. LOL! I'm gonna need you to do better. Again, how many close fights has Ward had????

                  LOL when did Ward retract his statement about his willingness to go to 160 to fight Floyd?

                  That's what I thought btch...

                      How many big cards has GGG headlined that didn't have another big name on it? Just wondering! And if Ward is cherry-picking as you say, what exactly has GGG been doing? Cherry farming? I'm trying to understand your logic.
