i know u think joe beats froch but thats a good win for ward.

froch resume isnt great to you?

Froch is another B level guy that was never the man in his division. It's a good solid win, but it's not big enough for me to say Ward beats prime Joe, prime Roy, prime Toney etc....

Froch would lose to Joe as well, so that's not really gonna help decide who's better between Ward and Joe.

nikkas is pretty much favoring Ward hardbody just off potential.

but then turn around and get mad when Floyd stans think Floyd can beat Hearns, Robinson, etc... Not saying Joe on their level, but it's the same principle.

Boxing double standard fukkery.. Gotta love it. :ohlawd:

Yup it's easy to say Froch isn't the man in the division but if there was no Ward he would be. nikka cleaned out 168 as well it's just that he can't beat the top guy there. At least he fought the top guy though and didn't spend his prime beating jobbers :francis:

For me it's Ward's ability to adapt & change his game up mid fight. He also has a lot of tools at his disposal to win fights. He's a cerebral fighter. Cal would have issues landing clean consistently on him

I don't think they are familiar with a Prime Joe here, because they are using the Hopkins fight.:heh:

Joe got famous towards the end of his career.

Fast hands, solid power (before the hand injuries), intelligence, etc. He was actually nice.

Breh. Watch how well Calzaghe adjusted to Kessler in their fight and then come back to this thread.

Joe had great defense and reflexes.

They both might have problems landing on each other.

Kessler is a basic jab, jab, straight right fighter. He was good at that but his flaws were he had ZERO inside game & he had no plan B when the jab, jab, straight right stopped working. Andre Ward is far from that kind of fighter just like a prime BHop.

THIS...

nikkas is on some twisted Fight Night video game shyt.

Using the old past it Calzaghe that struggled with Hopkins and Roy to go head up with a prime Ward that fought Froch. :pachaha:

If that's the case.

Who wins between the SRL that fought Norris and the Vargas that fought Winky. :patrice:

my point is that he adjusted.

you acting like Ward the only one that can make adjustments.

If Ward can make adjustments so can Joe. Ya'll really underestimating Calzaghe, but :manny:

ya'll can cook.
