He's a fool, what else is new. Andre Ward has fallen because he doesn't fight. If the guy had even been marginally active and kept looking good he would likely be number 2, ahead of the all American great white hopes GGG and Kovalev I was kind of surprised it wasn't Inoue he was talking about at number 9. I haven't heard of this other guy either, and as I also can't pronounce his name, I've decided there's no way he could beat any of the black fellas in his division, I'll give FLoyd that one.

Anybody who thinks Floyd is qualified to talk about anything other than rights, lefts, and how much money he's made please raise your hand.

Mayweather's a f*ckin' idiot. It's not bad enough he wanted to eat alone but now he wants to lick the pot too. Just him running his mouth for attention.

So Ward should still be number 2 on the pound for pound list for fighting 1 bum in 3 years. Kind of like calling your retirement and then wanting to come back and be installed at number one on the pound for pound without even fighting first.

I don't recall Hopkins calling out mosely (but ok, he probably did), but I knew that Trinidad and de la hoya were not able to welter anymore. So they went to 154 and probably cutting to 150-152, but not relying on catch weight clauses to validate the legitimacy of the fights with the sanctioning bodies before rehydrating to 170. GGG is calling out someone who has a title in his weight class and can't make the lower weight class anymore and weighs the same if not more on fight night. Canelo's fair game. When GGG can't make 160 anymore then he should move up and fight 168 pounders.

Rousey had 13 fights (9 of which were for a belt) and only 2 lasted more than a round. Before that she was an Olympian. Her mother was an Olympian. She didn't own her nail salon and start fighting (using her height and weight to push punches) at age 21 after realizing he could capitalize on her last name because daddy used the best fighter in the world. If he had said Lucia Ryker, I might have agreed, but then his racist argument would have went out the window.

As for Mcgregor, there are plenty of fighters that don't like his mouth in the ufc. I believe liddel recently said it best when he said you can tolerate him when he delivers like he does. He talked the talk and walked the walk. He didn't talk smack, then tried to give himself every advantage by dictating what the opponent weighed, what gloves he wore, where the fight was held, what drug testing agency was used, withheld what he weighed on fight night and then spent the whole night stiff arming and retreating... because when you clinch in MMA, the ref doesn't come in to save you unless your deadlocked and need to be reset. People cheered floyd for his mouth too when he mopped the floor with corrales, gatti afterwards. So talking like a destroyer and then fighting an exhibition will get you called out... people know the smell of bull$hit...

Just my opinion, of course....
