Comments Thread For: Paul Smith: Andre Ward Beats Kovalev By Wide Margin

[Beercules]

kovalev vs ward would look like a more competitive version of kovalev vs hopkins.

there's a reason why ward:

-despite being an amateur 175lb champ
-despite wiping out the entire 168lb division
-despite having the body, power, and skills to compete at 175 (his victory of 175lb champ dawson proves this despite the catchweight im assuming dawson was a heavyweight come fight night)
-despite having money and legacy fights at 175 vs 168



Ward is scared of Kovalev.

He knows he would get outworked and possibly hurt.

Instead he waits on GGG.

smdh...

Ward is no righteous man.

scared to leave oakland, scared to fight in other people's backyard. hiding out in a division (shades of joe calzaghe)when he has money and legacy fights above him.

He is no son of god.

he's a son of a b*tch.

^^^^^ This right here.

"I don't want to move up to fight Kovalev then back down to fight GGG"

"But I am willing to move up to fight Paul Smith, move back down to make idle threats at GGG, then probably move back up as soon as some sort of business barrier makes it impossible for me to fight Kovalev"

... Ward's fans should make sure that their boy enters the same ring with kovalev first... After that, we could talk about the fight... But until then, Ward's fans must keep silence.

Exactly like Ward/Golovkin, right ?

I criticized 164 catch weight and I do agree that GGG's resume is not good, but its not his fault. Should I talk crap about GGG because he is fighting a ranked 6 title holder with a big punch? If GGG wins it wont be a BIG accomplishment, but a good win, since Lemieux is on 9 win streak and has definitely improved.

Dont be so fkn ridiculous.

Who's fkn fault is it then ?

Mine ?

If you criticised that absurd cw, how can you say its not Golovkin's fault ?

Its not GGG's fault that Cotto, Quillin and others doesnt want to fight him. Catch weight was bull****, but if we can criticize GGG for ducking Ward, why cant we say same about Ward not fighting Kovalev or Stevenson? And let me tell you something, 168 now is even ****tier than 160, there is nobody for Ward there, ****ing caveman Abraham is ranked 2 at smw LOL

Ward has no actual plan whatsoever... I think he doesn't want to fight Pascal either... Ward said he will fight again in 2015 -- not a word so far... Actually, this guy got used to stalling...

Exactly like Ward/Golovkin, right ?

So the response for when ppl say Ward should then move up and fight Kov or Ward is scared to fight Kov is to bring up GGG not fighting Ward?

Lmao at that red K'd thing . What is that anyway , and what does it do ? I swear I need a tutorial . I get red K'd from time to time but never issued any out . As far as all these fans claiming someone is scared of someone , that does get out of hand on here as its usually directed towards mostly all of the black fighters (with exception to GGG who many believe is scared of ward) . Flyod is scared of everyone , Ward is scared of Kov , Stevenson is scared of Kov , Rigo is scared of Loma , Wilder is scared of Povetkin, it's just really out of hand at this point . Whenever a Black vs Euro fight is stonewalled due to the Euro side it's because of business politics (Duva purse bid bailout) . But whenever a black vs euro fight is stonewalled due to the black side , it's because of the cowardice of the Black fighter . As far as these butt hurt fans , your right , they're the worst !

I have no idea what it does. I think it lower your green bar near your name. If you have a green bar, you're considered at least a decent poster? I'm guessing LOL. I'm still not that familiar with everything in this site.
Yeah, you're right there is a lot of hate towards specific groups, but lets be honest it goes all ways. There's people that hate black fighters, others hate Latinos, others hate Euros, etc.
I never understood all this Floyd hate, he's an excellent fighter. His trash talk never offended me, personally I actually found him cheesy af. I think highly of Floyd. He's at least top 20 imo, I can't see too many fighters ranking ahead of him. I would say he's close to top 10 or in the top 10, but it would be better if someone broke down fighters from the past resumes and accomplishments; I can't say I'm an expert lol. Some of the fighters from the past accomplished great things whether you look at SRR, Armstrong, Greb, Ali, Duran, SRL, Langford, the list goes on and on.
Well that's a different topic lol.

The Rigo-Loma situation bothers me though. Obviously I'm a Loma fan, but I'm also a Rigo fan. The thing that annoyed me was that Rigo's team, fans and himself have spent the last year talking crap about everyone at Featherweight and saying how easily he'll beat them and what not. As soon as one of them calls them out on it they don't know what to do. Loma has been very respectful towards Rigo in the past, when asked if he would fight Rigo he said, out of respect he would not call out a fighter smaller than him. Obviously, the situation is different now, but it's probably because Rigo's team have been going in on Loma since last year.
Idk as a Loma fan I want to see him face everybody: Walters, everyone at 130 idc and Rigo (even though he's smaller, I think that would be a fantastic fight between two of the greatest Amateurs of all time).
I feel like that's what fans should be like. You should want your fighter to get tested.

LOL

So Floyd Mayweather's defense sucks because he was almost knocked down by Judah , got hit flush by a hard right hand against Mosley and Maidana.
Cotto and Orscar were landing clean jabs.
Floyd even got outsmarted and countered by Maidana in the middle of the ring. This guy's defense sucks right? getting countered by Maidana, I mean.


Breaking news, in boxing you get hit, sometimes.


Back to topic, it'd be a great fight. I'd root for Ward but it's a very close fight. Make it happen!

I have no idea what you mean by this post. I'm not sure if you're trying to argue or not.

Heard it all before.

They all said that about Mayweather, they said it about Garcia, they said it about Canelo.

Casual fans project..... they assume a fighter would be scared, because they know that they would be scared...... mindlessly childish really.

I really hope this fights gets done.

Ward UD.

Yeah, Idk why everyone is always trying to say someone is scared of another fighter. It is childish imo, but sometimes we need a little drama in boxing I guess.

I hope it gets made as well.
Kovalev KO

You stated that Golovkins resume was weak.

Then you criticised the 164 catchweight demand of Ward.

Then you stated that Golovkin is somehow not responsible for his resume'.

Who killed the Ward fight with a cw demand they know Ward cant make?

Who refused Lara, then stated that Monroe was a bigger draw ?

Obviously Team Golovkin are subject to the exact same risk/reward decisions as everybody else..... so how is it not their fault?

They are 100% responsible for Golovkins resume.
