Comments Thread For: Froch: Ward Uses Too Many Illegal Tactics To Be Pound For Pound

fair call ^^

but while you are crying to the ref, the other guy will be punching you in the face

you can complain while he's holding you or when the ref gets in between to break it up so you don't get hit.

wut ?

badly flawed logic there

in the first Pac/JMM fight, there were 3 knockdowns

plenty of fighters knock the other guy down but don't win

Did I say the guy who scored a KD won? No.
Don't misinterpret my words.

Also, a judge made an error, meaning Pacquiao should've gotten the decision in the first fight.

More fake news! Ward is, was, and will be P4P as long as Floyd stays retired! Kov. Only won 2 clear rounds..2 & 3. He ain't want nun of that work Ward was putting in that body that's why kov kept holding everytime Ward got in on his a**! People gotta stop being so bias....at least kov is better than 666.

ward lost his last fight but froch just sounds salty here.


i am hoping crawford works out, i would like to see him be the next p4p number 1. ward has done *** all the last 6 years and is a waste of talent and now past his prime. he didnt even fight anyone decent to prepare for kovalev. look at kovalev and he atleast took a guy who was stylistically similar to ward in order to prepare. ward had the talent and skills to win legitly over kovalev but i feel it was his ring rust that cost him the first half of the fight, he couldnt be bothered to fight anyone above C level in 6 ***ing years.

ward has done *** all the last 6 years and is a waste of talent and now past his prime.

In the last 6 years, Ward has beaten Arthur Abraham and Carl Froch to win the Super 6 tournament, unify the WBA and WBC 168 lb. belts, and establish the lineage at super middleweight. Knocked out the lineal light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson in a fight at the 168 lb. limit. Beat up two undefeated prospects, Edwin Rodriguez and Sullivan Barrera. Then he lifted 3 belts off of the undefeated #2 P4P fighter in the sport, Sergey Kovalev.

That's more than 99% of boxers have accomplished in the last 6 years.

sounds like Ward uses a sword, and disappearing ninja powder

to me, this is one-step off Manny's "I would have been able to hit him if he had stayed still" comment LMAO

I'm not reading anymore of your quotes....lol.

What illegal tactics did Ward use in the Kov fight? Kovalev was the one holding. He did it as soon as Ward got inside, which I actually thought was smart on Kovalev's part.

I'm not gonna get into the rest of this argument, but you guys need to stop with this "Kovalev initiated clinches" bull****. Just because some ****** started saying in order to defend ward doesn't mean you should repeat it like a parrot.

Watch the video to see who starts grabbing. Or use your head. Kovalev the outside fighter initiating clinches against ward the known clincher would be the dumbest tactic anyone has ever employed in a boxing ring.

Ward initiated 95% of their clinches. Kovs mistake was that he played along.

I watched the fight, I didn't repeat it cause someone else said it. Kov grabbed when Ward came inside, I gave Kov props for it cause I thought it was a smart way to neutralize it. Get out of your fanboy crap and open your eyes

Miss me with all that parrot garbage

Does Froch give anyone credit these days? LOL

I've been saying this forever, Ward is overrated and overhyped as a great boxer. He's not. There is a couple of boxers out there that are better than him. Even old ass Pacquiao is a better boxer. Not saying he's not good, he's elite no doubt but not what people make him out to be. This jab followed by a clinch routine isn't anything special.
