Andre Ward chimes in on Mayweather/Nasukawa, fires ether at GGG, Loma

[HarvardBlue]

Ward could've used Spence/Garcia as a better example. You know everyone will say it if/when Spence win. No one said it when Golovkin beat Brook. In fact, the truly absurd used Brook's weight jump to discredit Spence's win in their own twisted logic. The double standard in boxing is rampant.

With that being said, the Mayweather fight is a poor example. Any sane person knows it was an exhibition fight and holds no merit.

Funny how some writers highlight the fact that Floyd beat up on a little guy, but they’ve openly supported & drooled over other fighters who beat up on little guys for years 🤷🏽*♂️😬. Then they call those guys “Boogiemen”. 🤔

Chit for 9M+ I would fight Deontay Wilder or Anthony Joshua fight and I'm around 145lbs. I understand why Floyd done it.

My main problem with the fight was that; as significant as Floyds size advantage was he wouldn't engage in kick boxing bout with Tenshin it had to be Boxing rules only.

My prediction on Floyd is that he has one more exhibition type fight that bombs (vs Khabib or Conor rematch) > runs out of money (knowing Floyd he has already spent that Rizin cash) > then has to fight an elite fighter (Spence/Thurman/Crawford) who destroys him.

The argument that Loma deserves credit for beating Rigo because some random ass fanboys thought Rigo could win is absurd. That fight was a mismatch and nothing you say will change that. Go back and look at the vegas odds. Loma was a huge betting favorite. **** wasn't even close. Most people saw that fight for the joke that it was.

Lots of people thought Rigo would school Loma. It wasn't just fanboys. There was a lot of pro fighters that thought Rigo would win prior to the fight. You can go on YouTube and find all of the interviews.

There is always revisionist history after a fight. I remember before Oscar-Pac people were picking Oscar by murder. Then after the fight Pac beat a drained washed up Oscar.

How's that new 10,000 sq ft closest coming along for your Imelda Marcos shoe collection?

That fight was more entertaining and at least more cleaner than all his fights put together.

Because when it was supposed to happen Loma wouldn’t have had such a huge weight advantage which would give the older and smaller Rigo a better chance. Then Arum stalled the fight ( with BS options on his future fights, something that Rigo didn’t want)and made sure Loma had even more size advantage.

Loma is very skilled but it’s disingenuous to act like the weight is a factor in every other fight except that one.

Lets be real Dunn, that fight was a joke and would have ended the same way at 126. Simply put Loma was just too fast and too maneuverable for Rigo to keep up. Rigo kept his hands at home because he was overwhelmed by the angles and speed.

Loma is fighting in a weight class where he is the small guy so I dont get it. Not that he even mentioned Loma at all, that's just the OP imagination at work

We will never really know that since Loma brought him up 2 weight classes and was bigger. Please don’t be disingenuous about the affect of the weight.

If that in some way reduces the victory that is because there is a history of that here on NSB. I can’t change that and neither can you.”

Angles and speed played a role for sure, so did the size difference. If Arum and his matchmakers thought otherwise we wouldnt have had to wait for Loma to outgrow 126 before the fight happened.

Actually maybe he's speaking about Spence. He's supposedly the boogeyman and he's fighting a guy 2 weight classes smaller
