Comments Thread For: Ward Warns: I'm a Combo of Roy Jones, Hopkins, Mayweather

[A-Wolf]

I meant personality wise. You did watch the Jones vs Calzaghe 24/7 right.

Roy had shi*ty taste and a gooberish quality but to the unwashed masses of thug ******s and ******s in general he was cool, a leading figure and YES charismatic - purely based on his personality, alone. You must be measuring him against some conventional standard of the definition filtered through your own preferences. Charisma doesn't have a culture. It has many cultures and Roy Jones was considered a rockstar but MOST people I knew. And it wasn't because he was a really good fighter. They liked what he said, how he said it and pretty much everything he did. You want to give me your definition of charisma if that isn't "charisma?" They liked his essence. Cannot agree with you on this.

Kovalev aint knocking Ward out, you guys are dreaming.

Hopkins and Chilemba survived, that fight is going to a decision.

And it will be a boxing match, just like Mayweather/Pacquiao.

And putting 10-12 weeks into a "Plan-A" will not work..... they will need a plan A B C and D, AND they will need to adjust as the fight unfolds.

I would advise them not to waste too many weeks developing a "Plan-A", and I would also advise them not to waste too many weeks sparring southpaws.

I see whats up.

I like Kovalev, and he can change a fight with one-punch, no question..... but Ward all day, he got this.

He is clearly one of the best 168 pound fighters ever. Prime vs prime, I might give him the slight edge over James Toney in a close one, afterall, Toney did lose to lessor fighters at 168. But Jones was a whirlwind and would have overwhelmed Ward a bit.

Agreed. But what is with your signature? I agree with you about Golden Boy and HBO but Shobox is literally what you described, prospects in mismatches. Same with PBC most of the time, except it's developed fighters in mismatches, not just prospects.

Such hubris is unbefitting of a man believing himself to be the creme de la creme, yet is unable to put away the 28th ranked guy in his division.

you are nowhere near roy jones jr or floyd mayweather.

[royjonesjrKTFO]

Ward is a disgusting biter, a fake. Early in his career, dude tried to fight like Roy. There is no similarity. No speed. No power. No explosiveness. Then he studied Floyd. The only thing he copied from Floyd was the stab-jab. Just because you stole a move doesn't mean you fight like him. (See Broner for example). Hopkins is the one he can only emulate due to both lacking natural gifts. Neither are exciting in or out of the ring. No fans. Can't draw in their own home town. And we all saw what happened to Hopkins against Kovalev. Ward's chin is still a question mark. Does he have Hopkins' chin?

whats your point? no top fighter in boxing has a 100 % ko ratio and lesser fighters than that have went the distance with top fighters

[BlackSoul]

i dont see Roy Jones in Ward tho, i can see MOSTLY B Hop and some Floyd but i dont see any traces of Roy Jones.

[The Big Dunn]

Ward is really ratcheting up the vitriol the last few days. Doing his part to sell the Kov fight. Maybe he will become Andre OG Ward.

It sucks that he took all of the worst traits from each one though. Roy Jones lack of charisma and opponent selection. Old Mayweather's lack of power and inactivity and Hopkins fighting style and delusions.

Lol, to be honest ur crazy. Je is none of the above but he does temind me of flashes of Jones.
His Chin is going to be the ? to be answered when yhe fight takes place. Its not like he he has not sat on his butt before. If he beats him which he may do in fashion he will be best at 175. But he could be knock the f out as well.
