Agree. I said from the beginning that if either guy wins comfortably and shows to be clearly more skilled than the other, I'll give them #1 P4P. That didn't even come close to happening.
What happened to all this talk of Ward being p4p no. 1? lol
Kovalev just showed that Ward isn't the type of versatile fighter he was being compared to. I won't even mention those other fighters name because that's a disgrace.
Ward is a 2 trick poney. Clinch and fight on the inside, then jab on the outside. Kovalev out did him in both.
I actually said something on BA or whatever forum I was on at the time, 4 years ago after the Dawson fight, that if Ward fights someone who is healthy and can match him for size and strength he loses. That's what we saw last night.
I'm gonna put my hand up and say I didn't think Kovalev would be as strong but he was and once he took that from Ward, what did he show exactly? He showed Chilemba levels of defense, which is good but nothing special.
Your emotionally charged ******ity has convinced me. Nothing more!
Ward got a gift, regardless of how tough he was mentally. I give him props for that but after that bs I have less respect for him then I did when he dragged Dawson down a full weight division.
He isn't special but in an age of mediocrity I thought his strength and in fighting separated him from the pack. It doesn't lol
Kovalev is still no. 1, GGG, Gonzalez, possibly Wlad/Pacquiao and Bradley make up the rest of the top 5. Canelo could be in there too.
IMO Ward would have been top 5 with a genuine win over KOvalev, even with 4 years of fighting bums but without a legit win, he can't make it into a top 10 slot. I'm wondering how his performance was that much better than Chilembas?
Well Im not taking any P4P discussion with you as serious anymore. Goodbye.
I say have him as #1, but lets have the rematch which will answer some questions.
How can he be no.1 if he hasn't proven to be any better than Kovalev.
Is Kovalev no.1 too?
I'll keep saying this because it's true, using an official decision to base an argument is an excuse not to think, because the official decision means little
