    Why do novice fans keep repeating this. That's like saying Hopkins was a natural MW. He weighed less than GGG during weigh in and fight night. Just because they diet and train year round doesn't mean its their natural weight.

    And BH tested himself by fighting DLH at 156.

      Before this year when did Ward ever DARE TO BE GREAT? Kessler? Froch? Come on. The two main reasons he's even facing Kovalev is because he can't make money on his own and he can't make weight. It's such bull**** that he gets a pass.

        So he's not a natural middleweight? He should be facing guys outweighing him by 20 pounds on fight night?

          Ward did not move up, Ward MOVED DOWN to beat up smaller guys. The guy fought at 175 lbs at Olympics, he is a natural light heavy.

            Going past Super Middleweight would be dumb he's not a big MW he's just strong. And he has guys just as worthy at 160 as anyone at 168.

              you have said some dumb ****, but that takes the cake

              log off

              in fact, what an ******* kid..... I just saw you on the other thread praising lil'G for beating Hopkins record..... for beating Hopkins record by defending the WBA interim title against a bunch of no-hopers and bums

              you wouldn't know a good fighter if he punched you in the face

                what about your Golovkin excuse ?
                Obviously Brook needed the money so he did something a bit reckless although I thought he showed some heart still.Golovkin don't need the money so he can fight guys his own size,like Ward and Canelo do.That being said I wish we had more unusual matches overall.But I don't single out just one guy to do it.And it's a dangerous game where your here today and damaged tommorow,so I dont really blame them.

                  As GGG has said in the past, Ward is lucky that he had good opponents at 168 in the past and the super 6 gave him the chance to fight them.

                  I guess you could say Andre is lucky again, because the No1 man and 3 belt world champion at 175, his comeback division, has nobody else to fight but him. I think Ward's luck runs out as soon as the bell goes for round 1 on Nov 19th doe!

                    Hopkins often said he'd make 154 easily.But he wasn't worried about Oscar after seeing him beaten by Mosley and to be truthful beaten by Felix Sturm.
