Andre Ward...appreciation thread

[Jc8804]

He has had a solid career besides beating a drained dawson and losing to kovalev.

Avoiding the rematch with kovalev puts a stain
On his career though, especially since its contractually obligated.

It's a thread like any other man.. I don't have to come here and suck his **** like you want us to. You obviously made it to bait Kovalev fans and you got your response from one of them.

why would i bait Kovalev fans?? i didnt mention him at all, nor have i ever bashed the guy...I am making a thread about Ward simple and plain..if you dont like him fine,but why run into an appreciation thread?

[therealpugilist]

Not that i necessarily disagree...but what do amateur accomplishments have to do with the pro boxing hof?

Laszlo Papp is in the hall of fame right? he was undefeated as a pro but never won a world title...one of the greatest amatuer fighters of all time but got screwed by his national government

Ward has accomplished more AND beat better overall opposition than guys in the hall....Gatti, Mcguigan, Rocy Graziano, jeff fenech, ray mancini, ingemar Johannson, etc.

you might not like it or probably wouldnt vote for him, but he'd deserve to get in if he ever fought again. Only a handful of fighters have ever been lineal at 168 and also won titles at 175. no small feat and shouldnt be minimized because of stylistic and other preferences

[therealpugilist]

do you also say htis to those who make negative threads about him over and over again?


exactly...

the butthurt is real among the bandwagon jumpers...you know the Pac die hards who jumped ship in 2015 to suck off Triple G, then jumped on Kov's because he was a threat to rid them of Andrea Co-Ward.....too bad fights arent won in message board beef...they are settled in the ring...the butthurt is real among the ICB....Inferiority Complex Brigade

[-PBP-]

SMH...Dudes are so salty they can't even discuss and appreciate a fighters' skills and accomplishments without crying about a fight that didn't go the way they wanted it to.

[The Hammer]

115-112 Ward. Cleaner punches and body shots. There are levels to boxing not just punching power.

Who said i don't like it or wouldn't vote for him...I'm just saying amateur accomplishments shouldn't be brought into the conversation. I mean, lomachencko must be a hall of famer already then.
