Lmao @ ward's career

[megas30]

What does that have to do with anything? If you don't have the opponents you don't have the opponents, he didn't have much of a consistency neither, like 2-3 years.

But looking at the p4p list today, it's always been ***ed, Ward though went from barely being in the top 10(he was #10) one year and #2 the very next for beating Froch.

he jumped over Marquez despite sparking Pacquiao and Martinez and Donaire who were still ruling and beating the sht out of everyone. From just entering the list at #10, to jumping over those guys for the #2 spot.

See, like many misinformed posters you are looking at opponents at the tail end of their career at not when they were fighting their prime. When Ward went through the super 6, those guys were arguably the best 168 pounders. Ward was an underdog in that tournament, and that's fact. Kessler and Abraham were supposed to tear through everyone. After, the super 6, Chad was a high prospect having beaten Bernard and called out Ward at 168. By that time Calzaghe had retired. They made the tournament because it was one of the hottest division in boxing at the time.

Wants to go down in history as fighting the best...says he wants to be remembered as such...

...fights Paul smith (who?!) and Alexander Brand (who?!?!) in 2015.

The thing about either fighting cans is this : Ward came off a long layoff , fought Rodriguez who was a undefeated contender and promising prospect . Then he fought the Can-Man Smith who he used as a sparring session , but us fans didn't mind because we had only seen one fight , up till that point , in about 2.5 year time frame .

To the contrary, GGG fans are a freak of nature , as they seem to have a insatiable appetite for tin that rivals any junkyard . Im wondering how any GGG fans are still breathing , let alone still fans of this clown , as he's now in search of his 27th Can in a row which will prolly end up being Grand Tureano Johnson starring Clint Eastwood

ROFL...too funny

... while you are misinforming here...

Ward just wants to stay fighting bums, leave Andre alone!

For real. Lord forbid he fought someone like Yunieski Gonzalez. How got robbed beating pascals ass.

Quillin isnt a top guy? Sturm and Martinez weren't top guys? Cotto isnt a top guy?

okayyyyyyy.......

Sorry , that's not Cotto's division , Quillin has a well protected glass jaw , and would of gotten plastered by Rosado, had Rosado had a 5th gear, but we all know Rosado can't close a fight . Martinez prolly would of gave GGG the Bizz prior to becoming a cripple , and I'm not gonna even dignify Sturm with a response . Like Ive said many times on here ; GGG beat the best in that division when he beat PePe Lepue and Murray now cased closed its time for him to move on "Nothing to see here"

Do your thing, Andre.

Some of the talking heads in the media and some of these so-called "fans" refuse to give you full credit for what you've already accomplished. Even though they give a pass to others who have done far less.

If you try to win their approval you'll be waiting until hell freezes over.

Just stick to your guns, go after greatness and don't stop working your plan. If you beat Kovalev they'll have no choice but to acknowledge you as one of the best.

Not a bad tactic

This is all part of Ward's plan to generate more interest by telling the fans he doesn't need them...or otherwise insulting them. Not a bad plan. "When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose."

Yes he does -- he was just whipped out from the Nov 21 PPV card...
