Listen, I just want both cases to be justified.
Ward was at 168 when GGG refused to step up and fight him..Ward stepped up and beat the bogeyman in Kovalev.
Canelo was at 154 and stepped up (finally) to fight GGG..I felt the better power punches and ringmanship won him the fight on a very close fight.
Both Ward and Canelo stepped up to fight the best in the divison and should be given the props they deserve..yet GGG has never done this but gets praise for beating smaller guys (excluding Jacobs).
I like GGG and Canelo but please accept the fact that Canelo stepped up to 160 (not what he weighs on fight night) and he has nothing to do with the judge at ringside...he took all GGG best shots and took him the distance AND made GGG miss so many power shots with his improved defence.
Why are fighters not rewarded for making a fighter Miss..instead they are told the same story of being on their bike and running unless they conform to a rocky movie, roberto Duran, Gatti type fighter that takes punishment.
We all like a good fight but let's appreciate the art as well.
