The funny side to this is that Hopkins probably didn't clinch as much in that fight compared to the other one you mentioned but it still was a hell of a lot then people tell me Hopkins won that fight, I don't see it.

He barely clinched THE SMALLER Haye nor Byrd. In fact Peter & Povetkin are both naturally bigger HW's & he clinched them much more (especially Pov)..
You should check out Hopkins vs. Wright too LOL

Originally posted by mathed View PostWard hasn't approached "top fighters" in years. He demanded 3 tuneups (3 of the boxers he tried to get were old 168 pounders...like Brand) before signing some sort of tentative agreement to fight Kovalev, which he could easily walk away from.
Even these lowly foes, he is trying to chump change, so you know any reputable opponent won't receive half of what they deserve.
Fact is the only boxer that has ability to beat him is Kov and that is happening very soon

Originally posted by 1g5a22 View PostSo poor? Bloated Paul Smith, Sullivan Barrera & Alexander Brand! Murderers row right there.. The direction of travel (Smith to Brand) isn't exactly setting boxing alight is it? I can't think of a p4p elite fighter considered Americas best having such a poor set of recent wins, can you? People would sort of get ONE soft opponent but THREE in a row? (Granted Barrera is an unknown & maybe a B level fighter but the jury is still out on him! From what I have seen he's pretty one dimensional & average..) Why is Ward disrespecting his fans so much by fighting what are essentially extras on a Wyans brothers movie! Has anyone in recent memory (considered the best in America) fought such poor opposition as this?
