[lopetego]

all I know is... Ward doesn't deserve to be on that list

much less when they point at amateur/olympic accomplishments as a reason to include him, gtfo with that

Loma and Rigo should be somewhere on the list in that case

all I know is... Ward doesn't deserve to be on that list

much less when they point at amateur/olympic accomplishments as a reason to include him, gtfo with that

Loma and Rigo should be somewhere on the list in that case

Ward actually has a better claim than a few people on that list. For starters, he's much more accomplished than Golovkin and probably Winks.

Ward was a top 10 P4P fighter from 2010 to 2014 and now again in 2016. That's 5 years as a P4P fighter.

You feel that Ward does not belong there. Okay that's your opinion. But the question is, do you feel that Golovkin belongs there?

[HanzGruber]
