Comments Thread For: Jackson: Ward Used To Being Bigger Guy, Not So With Kovalev

[bluepete]

or theres factual evidence that proves his claim wrong, which there is here lol, hes wrong lol

The evidence will be tonight.Until then it's all opinion.And really he's just doing what practically everyone's trainer does.Where is the evidence he's a hater or playing mind games.He's just a trainer with a high opinion of his fighter.Everyone in history says my guy knocks your guy out.

Against fighters of true world class Ward has generally been the bigger man.Froch entered the ring pretty light ,172 and Ward had natural weight on him for sure ,although Froch might've had the reach.Ward is pretty strong and roughouse.Always seems to have the strength advantage.This may not be the case with the heavier Kovalev.That's what JDJ is trying to say ,no need to put him on trial.

well i never called them those things, but the evidence is already out there, you dont have to look at tonight. tonight is about two guys fighting for the top p4p spot who cant differ between size. theyre almost identical. but its NOT an opinion, froch kessler green, dawson, barrera, rodriguez all had a size advantage over ward and were at 168lbs. these guys at 175 would have size advantages over kovalev also, THOSE ARE F.A.C.T.S.

The world class guys Ward fought were at supermiddle.The only ones who matched up physically were Froch and Kessler.I'm discounting Dawson because he was clearly weight weakened.Not sure about Kessler but I know Frock entered the ring a light 172,lighter than Ward and a lot smaller than a Kovalev who at his lightest was 180 and sometimes 188.Jackson was pointing out that the actual top class guys Andre has fought have been smaller and weaker than Kovalev so Ward may not have his strength advantage tonight.But people jump on him like he's calling for nuclear war.It's likely true that Ward hasn't fought a top fighter who is as big and strong as Kovalev.

Froch had height and reach weight you are saying was 172 Froch for a SM fight?

[stuff jones]

Any evidence for your claim? I doubt it.

The fact that Ward is a LHW and those guys aren't. And that Ward should have always been a LHW given that's what he fought at in the amateurs.

It's called moving up and putting on weight. He wasn't the size he his now at SMW.

It's well known he fought at LHW in the Olympics to allow Dirrell to go to the Olympics and give the US team a chance of getting more medals.

Try again.
