Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Coach: Ward Can't Make 168, Belongs at 175

[OnePunch]

That guy also seems to ignore that Floyd was so dehydrated that he needed an illegal IV of 750 ml before the Pacquiao fight. He usually disclosed his fight night weight, as his drug tests were disclosed by USADA who basically just worked for Mayweather.

man for the life of me I cant figure out why he would keep arguing about it. I mean, so what if Floyd didnt do fight night weigh ins? Who cares? Its not like he broke a rule or anything, and if the network didnt care, then whats the big deal? Jeez.....

I think some of these Floyd stans will just reflectively defend anything and everything Floyd, regardless if its some trivial thing like this that doesnt matter.

I could post that Floyd didnt wear socks for a particular fight, and I guarantee you 10 floyd stans would be on me talking about "you lie post proof or its a lie!!!"

lol

i can already tell u the story of what will happen its already written. when ward beats kovalev instead of boxing fans giving ward credit for going up and fighting the monster in krusher and winning they will call the fight boring to discredit his huge win. if ward happens to lose he will automatically be called over rated/exposed etc. its a shame but thats the truth

sad but totally true.

Floyd Mayweather Junior VS Zab Judah - Contested at Welterweight

Mayweather: 146 (same as official weigh-in weight-very rare)
Judah: 150

Lol Floyd has been lying with the fight night weight for years to increase his myth.

Will Ward take this fight if it isnt in Oakland? Never have I seen a guy so unwilling to travel

[ShoulderRoll]

the topic is nothing new. Here's a thread with video, etc discussing it.

http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=689767

but believe what you want. I swear some of you idiots would argue about what day it is just to argue.


Edit: The thread eventually drifts off into allegations about steroids, etc. I am not making any allegations like that whatsoever. All Im saying is Floyd does not let Showtime weigh him on fight night. Period.

So what you're saying is that you don't have any proof to back up your claims? I'm not surprised.

As for Andre Ward, the only reason he fought at the weight he did in the Olympics was to make room on the U.S. team for Andre Dirrell. That wasn't his usual amateur weight class.

A guy who fights at 178 than sucks down to 168 can't have to much confidence in himself. A guy of this nature doesn't belong in a P4P list cause he hasn't even face someone his own size

you and all bs idiots must to know that at amateur competitions fighters weigh in before EACH FIGHT at the SAME DAY they are fighting.That's why they does not cut to much weight as a pro.178 amateur and 175 pro is a different things.

Interestingly Ward himself has said he struggles with 168 anymore, tried to make 170 in camp as a test, cuts to 175, weighed 180+ vs Smith.

But his boxing scene fan base (aka people who don't even like Ward but just want GGG to lose because he doesn't look like them) still won't believe it.

They won't believe Ward himself. Soon they will accuse Ward of being in on the GGG conspiracy.

Bro yall going to far with this race crap! Boxing scene needs to get in control of this crap! Why do you feel that if you don't like GGG you must be black? CRAZY! Could it be that he hasn't fought a top fighter in his career and he's 30+ and praised like he is a unstoppable force? He's 30+ and hasn't fought even someone with a name and is praised, but BSC calls Floyd a cherry picker! Get real! You match resumes and opponent records and it ain't even close! I think GGG is legit, but his fans are scared that he will lose just like Donair vs Rigo and Pac vs Floyd! Defense wins! I see the same result with Ward vs GGG!

It depends. If he fights clean and wins I won't have any thing to say, I will applaud him. If he clinches, headbuttes, etc, and gets away with it... I won't consider it a legit win just as I don't consider it a legit win for any fighter when they win that way.

[TrueBoxingFan23]

I don't need to do that....and I certainly won't run away if I lose the bet or change face.....that's not my style ..... I think kovalev will beat ward and you think opposite and we will see who wins between these two evenly sized light heavyweights.....lets see if your man enough to accept your fighter losing......ill go on record that ward has never faced a fighter as good or as dangerous as Kovalev.....lets find out

Bro Ward and Krusher are not the same size! Krusher is really CW! Dude is like 6'4 or 6'5. I know he walk around 200lbs. Krusher skill is no where near Ward, but he has enough skill, power, size that scares me. It should be a good fight!!

[TrueBoxingFan23]

Floyd had his time, he is retired and right now GGG is one of the faces of boxing, he is arguably the most exciting fighter on the planet and in everybodies P4P lists ranked among the Top 5.

Why dont you just enjoy this awesome time for us boxing fans?

Show some respect.

I think he's good, but as much crap that Floyd got for fighting champions and legends, GGG going to have to best some people first! It's really his fans that make me sick and I know it's just the PAC fans that jumped ship! But he just gets to much praise for fighting bums! I wouldn't care if he made some 154lbers come up, or fought Gale at 168! Just fight somebody with a pulse!
