Ward: "im not interested in talking about lil g anymore... I wanna fight the best"

[therealpugilist]

Most GGG fans never said what he would do to Ward. But every Ward fans said he was going to mop the floor with GGG...Isnt that a victory on paper alrdy??? Would've could've...I myself think a GGG-Ward fight is 50/50...

in my eyes Ward would've been a heavy favorite....much like Pac, GGG is the fan favorite and Ward is the more proven less beloved champion like Mayweather...I couldn't see how Manny could win with out a tarveresque kayo....GGG cant outbox Ward, outmuscle him, outjab him, outthink him, IMO ward is cut from a different cloth and is proven. GGG hasn't shown anything that illustrates he could deal with a fighter the caliber of Ward. Besides power, he has nothing over Ward at all

[NaijaD]

he gets no credit for that record....Carlos Monzon was wba, wbc and lineal champion when he won the title and defended 14 times

GGG won a "interim" or "regular" title and never fought a champion for it and was elevated to champion status

same with Hopkins he only defended the universal middleweight title 6 times and the ibf trinket 20


stop making up records to pad his resume...the defenses start when your undisputed or lineal

I agree with most of what you said.... that number of defences record is overrated as hell.

But to GGG's credit when he was regular/interim champ.... neither Sturm or Pirog wanted to fight him. He probably would have KO'd both.

In my opinion middleweight has been terrible for a few years now, ever since Pavlik fell off and Abraham moved up. It was briefly revived with Sergio and Chavez Jr but for the last 4 or 5 years its been lacking in real world class talent.

you don't get credit for not fighting....boxing is fighting....I don't care for politics because non of us were at the negotiations.....you get credit for who you fight not for who "ducked" or "avoided" or who you could've should've beat

Good post!!!

thanks

I would take what you say here seriously if were applying the same standards to Ward.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda ... my promoter doe ... my shoulder doe ... my tune ups doe ... oww .. ouch .. now my knee hurts .. but yeah, see me, I'm fighting the best me ... I'm fighting Kovalev I am ... oww .. my knee's still sore doe ...

yet he is younger with a better resume than GGG, with less fights at that...thank you, come again

LooooL I can tell you're old school.

It's harsh but you're absolutely right, which is why GGG should really start building up to 168 where the better fighters in that weight class would be more likely to face him.

[therealpugilist]

Really? How many 25 year olds today has ko'ed 8 top 10 ranked opponents, won 15 alphabetworld title fights by KO?

I'll make it easy for you: Just name 3.

you need anymore back ups to my claim that he has a resume of a 25 year old, not a 33 year old unified champion?

Look up chocolatito record up til 2012 when he was 25 on par with GGG and he has done a lot since then

look at Danny Garcia's level of comp up to age 25, wins over erik morales,Matthyssee, amir khan, kendall holt, nate Campbell....


Look at amir khans resume before he turned 26...wins over Judah, maidana, malignaggi, kotelnik



do you need more examples bro....his resume sucks and he has a resume of a fighter in their mid 20s and some of theirs was better then than his is now



I don't say things I cant back up


I have a life so I didn't have time to reply yesterday, had to make that check

im 30 years old bro, im just what you call a good ole boxing fan....I don't get impressed with talented guys beating overmatched opponents or play the blame game about who ducked who....if the fight didn't happen I blame both sides and move on

So after 4 years of fighting lorry-drivers and bicycle-repairmen, Ward now wants to fight the best Again. Looks like it will be a top LHW next then right?

In other Words I do not believe him. All evidence points in another direction.

Yah!!! i agree to Nelson
