Never Realized How Dirty Ward Was Until Today

[Vegemil]

You don't win an Olympic gold medal (especially in a weight class way above yours) without clean boxing skills. That's all I'm saying.

I'm sorry I like Ward but did you watch his gold medal match? It was dirty dirty.

You're missing my point. If you don't have clean pure boxing skills(as in you don't possess them) you don't go undefeated from age 12 to 33 in the amateur and pro's winning a gold medal and cleaning out two divisions undisputed.

It's impossible to make it that far without REAL SKILLS without ever being disqualified if you are literally doing nothing but cheating as people claim Andre did. EVERY boxer that saw longevity in this sport had some tactic that slightly bent the rules somehow. Every single one. No one is perfectly clean.

hes a dirty little ***** like all of his kind are

thank you for being honest and saying how you really feel, Green K

Harry Greb was dirty but great as were alot of the greats were... Henry Armstrong, Muhammad Ali, Jack Dempsey, George Foreman, etc all had dirt in their arsenal

it is hard to believe u guys dont have an agenda, or are really boxing fans. The majority of you applauded maidanas dirty work and said he won the fight... most of you are here to simply talk sht and you arent going to stop anytime soon... you dont have to like wards style but to say hes not a good fighter is just crazy... what was really dirty was that right hand he landed on KOV

I've been told that we can't associate bigotry when anyone is critical of a fighter, it never has anything to do with that . . . . oh wait that only applies to Golovkin not Ward. My bad.

In all seriousness there are guys who dislike Ward because he's black. There are also guys who dislike him and are critical for other reasons not related to race.

I suspect that it's kind of hard to deny that bigotry was associated with the criticism of ward in a post that was blatantly and undeniably bigoted.

I totally agree but it isn't a one way street.

Miss me with that trump "both sides" garbage. People reacting to obviously coded bigotry doesn't make them the same as the bigots.

There's really nothing you can tell me about this site. I don't post much but I've been a poster for years. I'm "al sharpton's bodyguard" with my rep permanently put in the red simply because I speak in defense of black fighters unfairly hated on and outright disrespected. None of the posters who hate on black fighters are in the red, so it pretty much is a one way street.

For this to be a boxing forum the respect for the fighters and even the sport itself is severely lacking.

some fight fans we have here....

if a cvnt is being dirty and the ref isnt doing anything about it, be dirty too.

crying, bltching and moaning is what jilted whores do.

wtf

This thread is hilarious. Ward dirty? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Good riddance he retired. Nothing exciting to watch and just gets you pissed off how dirty he is.

I always respected Floyd's attitude, he served as a good example for all. I haven't even seen him doing some accidental foul.

I'm not a Floyd fan but I too can never say I saw him engage in dirty tactics.

You aren't saying anything I'm denying. What that guy said was clearly racist. I fully acknowledge that there is racism against black fighters. What I don't acknowledge is that there is only prejudice against black fighters and this is a one way street. Sorry that's a crock. Me saying that doesn't validate racism against blacks or any group.

There is simply too much race baiting BS on this site and others.
