Comments Thread For: Kellerman: Ward-Kovalev Winner Has Argument For P4P Number 1
Collapse

Ward didn't even chose Barrera, HBO did it for him... Ward fought Smith and was after Murdock and Brand (but pretended he was after GGG and Kova).Stop putting words into my mouth.
I never said Wade had an "awesome amateur background"
I said he was decent, but not outstanding, same as Barrera.
Barrera won gold and beat Chad Dawson as a JUNIOR.
As a senior amateur, the best he did was 2 bronze medals in the Cuban national championships. Stop trying to pretend he was another Rigo.
Wade was US golden gloves champion 3 times.
If me saying Wade is on the same level as Barrera right now means I DKSAB, then neither do Boxrec and Fight.news, who both have him ranked HIGHER than Barrrera.
I understand what's going on here ... you need to build Barrera into some kind of monster in case he gives your hero Andre Ward a tough time.
Am I trying to do the same thing with Wade?
No I'm not, I'm just being realistic. Personally, I think Barrera looks better than Wade and is a good opponent for a man who has done Jack Shit for the last 3 years.
Wade is GGG's mando. End of story.Comment

that was my original score as i watched it live. i agree that canelo could have won that fight 117-100 type score but coasted the last few roundsIf you score the fight round for round AFTER the fact. Yes it was a close fight. But then your punishing the guy who KNEW he was winning because the other guy didn't want to go for the win and just gave up.
If I know I'm winning I'm not gonna do much more. In fact I would do less so I dont get accidently get hurt or KO'd. It was the LOSERS job to bring the fight! If you don't want to engage I'm not gonna force ya... That fight was the 1st time Trout went down as a pro. Got up with a oody mouth. He was also Bambi-Legged a few other times. I think he quit. Didn't want to possibly get KO'd. So much easier to just blame the judges.
Those last few rounds were basically Fury as Canelo and Trout as Klitz.
Fury knew he had the win. Klitz knew Fury had the win.yet did JACK SHT to keep his belt.Comment

Stop it. That crap was 5 years ago. You don't get position for rankings based on what you did 60 months ago. Ward is in no position to be number one when his last three fights are against 2 bums and a weight drained Dawson.Sure but lets not pretend it'd be equal
If Ward beats Kovalev, his argument for the mythical position is far stronger - he has a history of solid wins, and looks to be definitely smaller than Kovalev.
If Kovalev wins you can argue size was a factor. It'd still be a great win, no doubt. But Ward beating the proven champion at 175 is a bigger featComment

A win over Kovalev shows he's still the same fighter that pretty much tore through 168. Its not so much credit for the wins themselves, but more a reinforcement he's still the same fighter most people ranked behind Floyd.
Its really not that hard to understand
Btw, don't tell me what or what shouldn't be included in a mythical set of rankings. You're really in no position to, nor is anyone else. Kellerman deliberately used the word 'argument' as an acceptance of what p4p really is, an opinion based list of names with no set rules for how you rank them.Comment

When did Max Kelleman become the authority? FOH. One win in 5 years does not make a fighter number 1. Thats some stan schit. By your logic, I can put Lomachenko as number 1.A win over Kovalev shows he's still the same fighter that pretty much tore through 168. Its not so much credit for the wins themselves, but more a reinforcement he's still the same fighter most people ranked behind Floyd.
