Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Winner of Kovalev Fight Should Be P4P Number 1

[SugarRaRobinson]

No i disagree with this completely, and its another nauseatingly arrogant comment from ward. If you win you wont be my p4p number 1, because thats 1 top guy youve beaten in 5 years. Why should that automatically make you pound for pound number 1? Plenty of other guys in boxing have beaten a top name in the last 5 years too, what makes you so special...

Being a ggg fan, we already know that your standards and expectations (at least for the fighters u like) are VERY LOW. So why then would u even attempt to marginalize the fight that's widely considered the Hagler/Hearns of this era ?

Do u realize how ****** and bias u sound ?

[SugarRaRobinson]

Ive not even given you my criteria or my list for that matter...Im not a Kovalev fan either and Ive had this debate several times with many posters...and surprise Im a Ward fan! yep.

That's all cool and dandy but u should still name your names otherwise your making useless open ended statements. Ward cleaned out his old division, and at that time those old retired guys were the stal***** in the game. Now Kov is the top dog at 175 of whom no one has even come close to threatening so let's give props where their due .

[SugarRaRobinson]

If you follow that line of reasoning GGG is the man because he claims that other fighters are ducking him.....thats not how P4P works...we can only give you credit for what you have done preferably by some relevant names not guys that been retired years ago.

It's not about what ggg/team claims. Rather it's about the facts which are Wards team sent ggg an offer which was rejected in a record setting 36 minutes. Please remember that gggs team validated this story accompanied with 10 excuses why they turned down the offer.

Roman Gonzalez is my P4P and I doubt you have a thorough grasp of flyweight and Jr Bantamweight as been the case in most of my arguments with newbs on this board...and Im not even trying to go there with you right now...comparing resumes etc...I already given my basic argument why both Ward and Kovalev are not P4P...one guy is close too 34 years old beat a active HOF a euro bum in Nathan Cleverly who hasn't even beat the lineal champion of his division you got Ward who hasn't been fighting elite level opponents for five years now...so he moves up good I respect that but this guy Kovalev just started fighting top and elite opponents the last three years!!! where was he in 2008?? not even a pro ; Im not buying the hype..My #2 is Crawford became lineal in two weights in less than two years! who does that? it took Ward how many years to move up?

Agreed, now go out and do the sweet science proud!

[Eff Pandas]

Why not? Its a sci fi bs ass super subjective list so anything can be argued.

Just because nobody likes your middle school division doesnt mean they are new fans. Who wants to see 2 midgets swinging wildly for 12 rounds?

Why is Kovalev rated so highly on P4P lists when Walters isn't? Walters has a better resume.
