Comments Thread For: Daily Bread Mailbag: Ward-Kovalev, Golovkin-Jacobs, Broner

When it comes to Ward, bread seems to agree with everything I have been saying. Which should be no real surprise, considering that all top fighters/trainers are saying the same thing.

But I fully expect the average casual fan to disagree, and argue.

He's also a Ward fanboy though. He even claimed that Ward was better than Mayweather this other time.

Don't get me wrong, I'm fully behind Ward, but come on dawg, when it comes to Ward and Bread, there isn't much objectivity there.

The average fan see Ward Floyd type fighters as guys you just got to ruff up and they fold , not at this level they dont Ward will be a tough mofo in a dog fight just like Floyd Ali Whitaker Leonard all proved they were not just fancy boxers , Ward will be tough in the trenches thats for sure and he can box like a surgeon at range , no doubt about it Ward is very capable of whipping Kov .

Aah, I didn't know that.

He possibly may have meant more " well-rounded " than Mayweather ?

Although, I don't agree with that either..... but the point may have been that Ward is a little more offensive? Not sure.

Even Ward admits that Mayweather is the master, and that he learns things from watching old Mayweather fights.

Yea, I've lost count of the fighters who were supposed to crush Mayweather.

Despite his style, Mayweather has a real nasty streak in him, I picked up on that when he was young.

Like the story that Ariza told about that MW sparring partner.

Why do people say Jacobs never calls out GGG? When asked if he'll fight him he said yes. He even posted a picture with GGG at the WBA conference saying it's the fight the people want to see. If he would've called out GGG after his Quillin fight people would complain he's calling him out because he knows GGG has a mandatory for his IBF title.

The WBA regular vs. Super is not recognised as a unification. The WBA said they are working with the WBC and won't call for a mandatory until they know if Canelo & GGG are fighting.

I agree, let's hope after Canelo-Khan, that Canelo decides right away to take the fight or drop the title so the WBA can mandate the GGG-Jacobs fight. It will sell out either MSG or Barclay for sure and would be entertaining for however long Jacobs lasts IMO.

Different topic, but I just remembered a funny story I heard about Roger Mayweather awhile back.

When Dana White was boxing he was training at the Mayweather gym and he recalled this young 24yo heavyweight, I can't remember his name...... this guy made some smart remarks about The Black Mamba, who was in his 40's at the time.

They got into it verbally, then it escalated into the ring.

They both gloved up and went at it..... then after the first round, the HW, I think his name was Tracey but could be wrong about that..... he stopped and started to turn to his corner, but Roger punched him in the mouth and said 'no breaks mutha***a'.....

..... White reckons that Mayweather beat the **** out of him, then after the guy quit, Roger punched him another 8-9 times and said 'don't ever run your fkn mouth in this gym again'.

The Black Mamba was a bad boy LMAO

Wow someone remembered Jacobs.

As for Danny Jacobs, the guy does himself no favors going on Twitter and calling out Saunders. Everyone knows if Danny fights for the WBO title, he gives up his WBA interim belt (and free's himself of the future GGG obligation). Jacobs is also losing all his momentum from the Quillin fight being soooo inactive. Thank you Al Haymon.

Inactive? He fought 3 times last year just like GGG (better competition too). He's been out since December and has a fight with Andy Lee in late June or early July. He's just as active as GGG who last fought in September. And when he fights in April it'll be seven months since his last fight, just like GGG.

Believe it or not, every fighters career doesn't revolve around GGG. Jacobs-Saunders would be a great fight. Two top 5 middleweights. Jacobs doesn't have to wait on GGG, WBC, Canelo, and the WBA. He can move his career along as he sees fit.

Easter would beat Felix. The kid could literally keep you on the outside the entire fight and the one thing I was waiting for was to see him on the inside and he looked sublime. He might be better than his big bro Broner.
