Stay Woke

[about.thousands]

The same members of the media who criticize Ward for not being active enough or other ****** reasons, didn't attend his fight against Barrera but will be a GGG's fight against Wade. Ward-Barrera was a way more meaningful fight than GGG-Wade. Ward moving up to 175 for the first time against a top 10 rated, undefeated, LHW. GGG fighting a guy even he admits he doesn't know much about.

barrera may look a little better on the eye test but i don't think there's a significant difference between him and wade. they're both IBF mandatories who haven't done much and are not good enough to ever win a title. two routine victories. golovkin has more power so he should dispatch of his guy quicker

barrera fails my eye test

but to address the thread topic, ward's inactivity made the media forget about him, isn't that expected?

a long long time ago when the super six had just ended ward was actually a popular fighter

Is this a rhetorical statement or are their specific boxing media names you are talking about?

I'd also say that name value plays in boxing just like anywhere else. Canelo vs Kirkland (KO'd by Asian MW, hadn't fought in a year) is gonna garner more media attention than Postol vs Crawford is the reality. Name>Quality. So of course GGG is gonna get more media coming to his fights then Ward is.

Barrera wasn't a top ten LHW, stop making **** up.

[daggum]

both fights suck. neither guy is top ten. both guys were ranked #1 by sanctioning bodies. difference is ggg has to fight wade and ward didn't have to fight barrera. he wanted an easy fight after his last easy fight paul smith hmmm

also one guy is entertaining and piques people's curiosity while the other guy is a droopy borefest. why do you think they go to one fight and not the other? yep its racist you got it right

Simple explanation, the media loves Wolf Tickets...

[Jsmooth9876]

Both fights suck...one has Chocalatito on the undercard...one will have GGG with 21 straight KO, the other a boring inactive fighter living off things he did in 2011...

Easy choice as I see it...

The significance of the fight is different.
