No announcement yet.
What if FMJ was fighting the likes of Brand in his prime?

It's a damn shame a fight like Postol vs Crawford has to go on PPV, but bull***** like this gets aired. Kovalev if fighting a top 10 guy, while Ward is fighting a hand picked can. There is far too much talent at 175 for Ward to be fighting a can.

The guy has tattoos and even freddie roach admitted drug testing and cut off dates ruined first round of negotiations for the the mayweather fight. Then calls the guy shady and admits he doesnt know whats in Pacquaios work out drinks
Man...Pacquaio fans are more bitter than a woman scorned

I'm almost sure if something doesn't go his way leading into the Kovalev fight, he'll get injured.

Originally posted by Blue Heffner View PostWard has had THREE stay busy fights against guys he'd beat 10/10 times. It was better opponents out there, guys with names, better competition, even if it was up in weight or down. Paul S, Barrera, and Brand are guys who have no business fighting Ward...they clearly weren't and aren't ready by LARGE MARGIN. But...Ward gets a pass because HE MIGHT be fighting "the man" in the division later.

Originally posted by daggum View Postyes hbo wanted ward to fight alexander brand. that's really your argument? they had a contract for 2 fights before kovalev. they wanted ward to fight kovalev right away but he refused. they knew ward wasn't going to agree to fight anyone good so they just let him have this bum fight so the kovalev fight wouldn't be delayed. i don't know why you are pretending that ward has no blame. he could have fought someone better but his contract of overpaying him 2 millino dollars basically doesn't allow him. once again ward's fault again for accepting a contract that only allows him to fight bums.
WHen they and Ward agreed he would get another fight, they didn't want to risk having the plan they announced fall through.
HBO did this to themselves. This very well could be continued fall out from not letting Kov take part in the Stevenson purse bid. If Ward's contract is overpaying him IYO that is HBO's fault too, unless you are going to opine Ward strong armed them into resigning him.

Originally posted by daggum View Postyou know he's going to pull some stunt like force kovalev to wear pillow gloves or ankle cuffs or some sh-it. if he does finally get in the ring he will be holding and headbutting like no tomorrow. i don't know why people ever wanted to see this fight. just to see ward ko'd? who cares just go away. just to see ward attempt to hold his way to victory? once again who cares. means nothing.

you kind of made my point for me. yes bums like barrera and brand will take the ward fight because it's their career high payday but good fighters aren't going to fight for that same amount.
