Yea mang thanks.... I still think... Ward has the BEST punch variations in boxing right now. Maybe Chocolatito 2nd.

Chocolatito and Ward, definitely.....Lil man gets no love on the forum..made an appreciation thread for him, barely made it past page 1 lol

Thats what makes them so hard to beat....good balance, footwork and punch variance....both apply it differently but prove that good fundamentals plus god given gifts are hard to beat....always being in shape and working hard, isnt helping their detractors and opponents trash them either

Ive had this same ole pic of willie pep the pasy 4 years....Can a brother get some help updating my profile with GIFS, MEMES and Pics

It's threads like these where you can easily distinguish between real boxing fans and casual fans. Sadly there's too many of the latter. There are actually those who think that a man avoided GGG in order to fight Kovalev.

I'm looking forward to Ward's fight.

Actually he couldn't fight GGG because Team GGG said he didn't make financial sense and that it had to be at 164 or no fight.

You're a perfect example of what Ward was talking about. You don't check your facts.



Yep. Win or lose we'll get a good snapshot of where Ward's abilities currently stand.

GGG's team is full of crap! Fight makes no sense at 168, but does at 164..
Pure crap !

War Ward!!

I dont like Khan s style or his attitude but he won a silver medal at 17 and isnt even 30 and has done more than 90% of the active fighters today

I give credit where its due....dude started at lightweight, will be fighting the middleweight champion and has wins over 9 current or former titleholders

He is a good fighter, Im not a big fan of his though....but look at a guy like GGG....he and Khan have the same amount of wins and he has only defeated 3 former titleholders and he is supposed to be this feared monster...p4p top 3-4..more like p4p most hype.

Essentially i agree with you. GGGs too high on the list, his opposition doesnt imply being a p4p#3 guy...no way. As for Khan...his criticism is warranted, lets not confuse his current standing with his past standing. Those 8 former titlist were nowhere near their best..Collazo was nearly 9 yrs removed as a titlist when Khan faced him, Barrera was 4--5yrs removed. The names look good on his reseme but they dont put em in context, they were nowhere close to being considered the best in the division when Khan faced em. Outside of Garcia and Maidaba, Khans never faced anybody CURRENTLY at the top...beatn a guy off an L doesnt get rated as high. I swear Khan is the biggest farce in the sport. Look at Provodnikov over Castillo last year, about 95% of Khans resme has been built in a similar manner...Khan would get full for fightn Castillo.

just utterly ridiculous for ANYONE to say that Ward ducked ggg...

just by those comments alone would seperate the real fans asap imo.
