Cool to hear Andre Ward in mailbag. Just watching videos yesterday on his use of elbow guard and jab. Smart man and cool addition to ESPN.

Bread can only answer the questions that his readers send to him.

Write in with a question of your own about an active fighter.

Not true.

Bread chooses to answer the questions that he wants to respond to.

He gets about 10 times as many questions as the ones he answers.

He chooses the ones he wants to respond to.

How do you know how many questions he gets?

And you didn't address my other point. Why don't you write in with something about current fighters?

Typical contradicting all over the place mailbag.

The trying to justify Gatti being in the HOF while claiming better fighters don't deserve it is weak,& exactly what I'm used to from Bread who has to be the most biased butknowledgeable historian in boxing.

He says "I think Canelos a future hofer"oh really you think?& That hes APPROACHING atg if he wins like 2-3 more top fights, GTFO biased, you're the same guy who was waxing lyrical about Loma being an atg since before he even fought anyone at 135(let alone that I proved him & all loma fans fos(about atg claims) with my prediction that Teo would beat him,Teo who y'all said was green no hoper Loma would ko)(& I could've sworn he considers Bud an ATG?,& He also acts like "featherfisted" Ward is now almost unbeatable & an ATG despite Canelo already being higher atg,clearly)

Canelos cv is miles above the rest of his era after his career of fighting more top fighters than anyone including Floyd & Ward since 2010 on, & hes doing it in divisions where nobody especially careerlong detractors like Bread ever envisioned he could, divisions where he gives up every advantage possible despite being the cashcow & not needing to fight who hes fighting.

If Canelo is not already an ATG then boxing is already dead. Hes beating everyone near his divisions 1 by 1. Ward at his absolute best could barely beat Kov(arguably)& was kd by Krushers Vodka power,& Canelo kod unconscious a kov who had extra half day to rehydrate & who had a much better gameplan(& coach)than Wards opponent 2 yrs prior(If kov didn't get kod late all haters would be saying how great Ward was & that Kov was robbed by ginger,but since he was kod hes automatically "a old bum"). (The fact that bread is now again moving goalposts to 5'8 jmw Canelo vs 6' careerlong smw Ward(whom was viewed as way too big for Canelo to even fantasize about the matchup til now) shows how good Canelo is.

And just because Canelo kod Kov & not ggg doesn't mean ggg is not a baby mini Kov(he is) it just shows Canelos improved & carries power up.

Cue the haters claiming me saying what is common sense amounts to nutriding Canelo

For someone that constantly complains about Bread “contradicting himself” and “unknowledgeable” you sure spend every week reading and and then go on epic rants explaining to us why. I’d say Bread has probably forgotten more about Boxing in the last year than you’ll probably know in a lifetime.

No but I notice for some reason a lot of them seem to be by the same person???

I mean weekly I see the same ones with exact grammar errors?

Like not spacing after a period .

Too much of a coincidence for it to be the same format. Even in this mailbag I got two who did the same almost every sentence...

Don't get it twisted he's much appreciated! His sht about running more than 6-7 miles builds estrogen was pure gold.

I said KNOWLEDGEABLE & even underlined it,learn to read before explaining to me why I'm supposedly doing something wrong. I literally said hes a knowledgeable boxing historian in the 1st sentence ffs (which answers your question in itself.) & I already explained to you the last time why I care what commentators write or whos p4p.

Its because they are the ones who vote for hall of fame,fighter of the decade etc. & It is them who are responsible for writing the narrative fighters are remembered for,& they whom ordain certain fighters as superior over others.(awards like fighter of the decade & other things like p4p are what is literally mentioned for the rest of a fighters life & during career also.

Just as you care whether I chose to explain where I disagree with Breadman despite knowing I always explain & debate what I disagree with.

But the fans and media screw it up. Instead of praising Loma they sh-t on him for losing. And the other fighters see that. So they say you know what, I will keep my 0 and get my money and then you guys get mad at that

yep... boxing fans are de****able humans (me too). we trash and shet on fighters who take risks then cry nobody is taking risks.

UFC fans are better than us

Loma is a great fighter & has EARNED the respect he now gets,I don't see anyone who has said he deserves anything but respect for fighting & losing to Teo? He can still be an ATG if he picks himself back up & beating more top fighters or rematching Teo. Don't throw boxing fans under the bus because of a few detractors. I have always said that if Loma beat Teo I would bow down & respect his greatness & proclaim him the truth, but I rightfully said had he not beat Teo hes not as great as he was being made out til then.(I thought hes a A level fighter but not the goat or near it or unbeatable as proclaimed,& that he still had a ways to go in his career to truly become an ATG)

He risked it all & lost but will likely win titles again & might beat Teo. He is a true warrior & despite my saying Teo would beat him beforehand,he actually made a fan out of me in defeat because he was willing to be about it instead of talking sht like most,& Loma won't be as timid in rematch imo.(if he gets kod in rematch hed go out putting damage on Teo badly 1st)

you might've said all that but im speaking broadly. boxing fans are trash. in the UFC a loss does not shatter a career. boxing fans will flush a fighter down the toilet and that's what Bread was alluding to

Fair enough.... however I will say that he provides who he thinks what about and ALWAYS clearly explains why. You may disagree with him but it doesn’t mean he is wrong. He makes very persuasive arguments. I hate when folks come in here and try to tear down a public figure that provides his services for free. As an insider to the game his commentary is valuable. There aren’t many like him that give their time each week and write very thoughtful replies. These take quite some time to do week in and week out. I honestly don’t know where he finds time to do it. He’s definitely a treasure.
