How is a guy who has one 12 round fight & one 10 round fight worthy of a fight w AW?

    Barrera looks like he would destroy Pascal, and Pascal just fought for the title TWICE. Barrera is a gutsy way to test out a new weight class.
    Odd that someone would focus on trashing an intriguing fight like Ward/Barrera and not Kov/Pascal 1 & 2.

      Why is this Barrera kid getting so much praise for doing absolutely nothing, against absolutely nobody? How is he even a challenge?

      Oh, he has youtube videos. Cool. So what exactly makes makes a prospect with 17 fights such a dangerous foe? Spare me the amateur talk. Most Cubans suck as pros.
      No one is forcing you to watch it. If you don't like it move to Iran.

        He's undefeated and Ward is moving up in weight. Not every fight has to be a marquee match.

          Barrera? Destroying Pascal? Where did u see that fight? And Ward/Barrera is not intriguing, come on man lol. Pascal/Kov wasnt intriguing neither. If Ward/Barrera is intriguing than Ward is not as good as some people claim. Seriously I couldnt careless who he fight. Lets get Ward/Kov for the end of the year. Thats the fight all real fans are waiting for.

            1) Your reading comprehension sucks. 2) The sport has more to offer than 3 top fights a year. P.S. if you don't underrated how Ward/Barrera is intriguing then don't go around announcing that you don't understand. Save yourself the embarrassment.

              Ward is inactive, unranked in any division and has not had a meaningful win since 2013. We don't even know if he's the same fighter he was in 2012. This is the first test of his second career run. I'm just happy to see him in the ring at this point. The hype for Ward vs Kovalev is under the assumption that Ward hasn't lost a step due to inactivity. He's fighting a guy who win a title eliminator to become Kovalev's mandatory. If Ward wins, he will become mandatory challenger for the Krusher.

              Golovkin is an active champion in which 2 of his last 3 fights have been against unranked fighters that have never even fought a scheduled 12 rounder or won a title eliminator. Pure garbage.

              Funny how you have known racists and anti-Haymon cult members kissing Dominic Wade's ass

              Just a few months ago he was a protected Haymon prospect who got a gift decision over Sam Soliman. I SEE RIGHT through you fools!
