Wards Legacy!
First topic message reminder :
http://www.boxingnews24.com/2016/11/andre-ward-can-surpass-mayweathers-pacquiaos-legacy/#more-221864
I normally go on boxing 24 for a laugh and thought no way can he surpass these guys. But the further I read into the article, the more I started to agree.
Light Heavyweight is becoming a very tough division. If Ward can somehow beat them all and cap it off with a win against GGG, he would be HUGE!
Now I am not saying Ward can do this. Perhaps Kovalev will knock his block off next. Who knows?
But if he finished his career in that style, he would be something else.
Ward is not a great puncher, so I can't imagine many ducking him. Lets just hope if his star grows, he doesn't do the high risk low reward road like Floyd and Manny. That is always a danger.
On the flipside, read the article and imagine Kovalev wins the rematch and takes out all comers. He won't have dominated 2 divisions, but he would be one of the most dominating light heavies ever. At least in the last 20-30 years.
There is no malice in this thread and I'm happy to discuss it with anyone. though a bit of banter is more than welcome. I won't wind anyone up.

Where the f**k did I get that one from?...It's been a long few days.
Prob's the image of Floyd in a Utd shirt to wind up Ricky got me thinking something else
My bad
Haha no worries mate, at least you didn't argue with it for an extended period of time like I have seen some people do

Didn't Floyd ADMIT to delaying the fight so that they both got more money?

Or until he was guaranteed to win.

Re: Wards Legacy!
I can't find anything like that, just that he had no regrets about making fans wait. wouldn't surprise me either way, but then as stated before i blame the pair of them, difference is Floyd doesn't care about peeing people off
