Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Canelo, Ward Would Exploit GGG’s Weaknesses

[NaijaD]

Sure Bernard you just can't accept that these White Boys kick a$$

I didn't know Lemieux and Canelo were black

[Bushbaby]

Ward, yes. But Canelo!? We know you're just saying that cause you promote him

This. Ward beats GGG. Bigger and quite frankly, one of thee most skilled fighters of the last decade. But Canelo? He gets hurt and badly too.

I don't need boxrec, I'm a fight fan. Lemieux hasn't beaten anyone that was worth a ****, and neither has Smith. That was my point all along. Both are C level fighters. Difference being. Lemieux is arguably GGG's best win. Smith probably doesn't crack Ward's top 10. GGG is having his nutz massaged for beating this bum. Ward is criticized for fighting an equal level bum as a tune-up. The double standards are staggering. But they're also very telling as to the level of fighter Ward is when compared to GGG.

You made me laugh out loud at work. It was bad.

Are you seriously saying that Paul Smith and the other Ward tuneup are equivalent to Lemieux? I think you should boxrec it, the GGG hate is spilling into your cerebrum.

One is a 26 year old title holder who suffered 2 defeats against veteran fighters at the age of 22, while the other is a 33 year old never-been who came into his last fight 5 pounds overweight and whose best win is hard to pinpoint because they're all equally bad.

This is coming from the same clown that said Lemieux would win. Not listening to his nonsense

[dantheman1983]

Whoever said Lemieux is the same level as smith needs their head looking at. Smith even getting a shot at Abraham was a boarder line disgrace

[Barcham]

They saw all kinds of 'weaknesses' leading up to the Lemieux fight that were going to be taken advantage of. Lemieux also saw doubt and fear in Golovkin's eyes. Lemieux didn't 'think' he was going to win, he 'knew' he was going to win. Lemieux was not leaving the building without the belts. Every day last week, there was another thread about Lemieux's latest brave statement. The world was going to be shocked!

That turned out well for them, didn't it?

Nice hair though!

Dude Lemieux is a bum. I don't care how old you are. Good fighters don't lose to Rubio, much less be KO'd. Good fighters are decisioned by a 40yr old Alcine. If y'all wanna say Lemieux is a better bum than Smith, go ahead. Hell, I'll concede that with little argument because it doesn't matter. Its like a guy making $10 an hour telling a guy that makes $9 an hour he makes more money. At the end of the day, they're both broke as hell. My point is that similar level competition is considered a joke for Ward, but a triumph for GGG. Is it a double standard? Or, is it a concession, maybe even a subconscious one, that Ward is a better fighter than GGG?

he a small middleweight so only at 164 lbs

[thack]

Different weights one can make light middle the other is looking at light heavy.....no point!

[SplitSecond]

he a small middleweight so only at 164 lbs

If they are so similar in size why not 164lb's?
