    Ward Rigondeaux and Mayweather just gets the shit end of the stick no matter what. People are gonna treat the Golovkin vs Ward as if Golovkin would just blast through him. What a way to treat people in the Olympics!!! Ward is a great if you think he's boring watch UFC they fight like wild dogs. People want Gatti Ward type fights but there is something called Boxing Masters and that's what Ward practices to be. Sure you can say he's boring at times but he's focused and the Champ and you cannot take that away.

    Here's the thing. Boxing is about styles. One style isn't for everyone. Some people liked Hagler; others liked Sugar Ray; still, others liked Duran. It doesn't make one better than the other. The great thing about boxing is that aspect hasn't changed over the last one hundred years. I can't speak for you though, but I'm a fan of all styles.

    For the record, NO ONE I've read about has picked GGG over Ward. Frankly, GGG has a lot of unfinished business at middleweight. Let him do his thing there before talking about moving up in weight.

    I like watching Mayweather and his fights arent paticularly exciting. His last opponent was in the weight above and a unified champ. Mayweather moved up and fought him in his own weight and didnt either hold or butt and looked untouchable.

    Ward is winning handily because he is let to get away using tactics that a decent fighter like Floyd doesnt need to use. If you suddenly took away any holding from Ward he would look like he did in the last couple of rounds against Bika.

    I agree. It would be insulting to put ward in the same breath as Floyd , Ward is very good , Floyd is just the best fighter out there period.

    That ref was brilliant otherwise that fight would have turned ugly. Wish he was at the Wlad fight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    You said it. We need more refs than that. That would have been an UGLY fight.

    Commentators were having a go at him for taking too long and taking the limelight, but what he did had to be done. He also said he was punched so had to take a moment to get his head right. I like him, but can't remember if he has done other big fight.

    I was trying to figure that myself. He has done other Ward fights I believe. I would like to see him ref a Hopkins fight.
