ward and martinez both seem like slot machines but ward is younger, his left is better now and he has amped up the competition.
That's what I would have said before, but I don't think Pacquiao is the fighter he was. At this point Ward is probably better. Don't really see much basis for putting him above Floyd at this point though. Floyd has slowed down but is still brutally effective. He would have clowned a plank like Doorson at least as easily.
That's Because U've Historically OVERRATED Dawson, Brother X...He's ALWAYS Fought w/the Passion & Urgency of a Couch Potatoe Taking BONG Hits...In Ward, he Met an ENERGETIC Guy who Fights THRU Lulls...Ward's Pressure Wore Dawson Down MENTALLY as Much as it Did Physically, which is Why Dude Straight Up QUIT, Even Though he CLEARLY had his Wits about him, w/a Single Round to Go... You Probably SHOULDN'T Call Ortiz a "Surfing Bum", when Dawson is AS WEAK, Mentally...& Though Cotto has MORE Ring Wear on him, he's @ Least AS GOOD as Froch, Still.... Beyond that, Floyd Hasn't Done Anything to LOSE his Hold on the Pound for Pound Crown...CLEARLY, Ward is RIGHT THERE, Looking to Take it, but Lets See WHO Floyd Fights Next & HOW he Looks... REED:mj:
Whether I overrated Dawson or not, it doesn't change the fact that MANY (not just me) thought he could at least give Ward his toughest fight. Whereas NOBODY gave Ortiz a chance against Floyd. And I think Froch at this stage is better than Cotto. Accomplishment wise, Ward has just done a lot more than Floyd lately. And ability wise, I'd say young Ward is on par with a 35 year old Floyd. Obviously, a younger Floyd was far more talented than Ward. Think of it as a prime/peak Kobe vs the older, 98 Jordan. Floyd at this stage is very comparable to the 98 Jordan.
Good post, I agree on all counts. I also think Cotto is better than Frock. I love Frock and he can fight, but he's a real overachiever. Xplosive got all menstrual pre fight when I dared to compare Brave Warrior Doorson to Ortiz. It is rather fitting that he quit like a bitch for no reason ::
When Posters Do This to the Klits, Your Swastika is UNBENT, yet You have NO Problems Doing it to Dawson's Resume, Huh??... REED:clapagain:
Froch P4P at this point would stop Cotto late. He's less talented than Cotto, but a lot tougher and with better stamina. Also, Froch's ring IQ is higher than many of us give him credit for.
Make No Mistake, Ward was WHIPPING Dawson's Ass, but Chad COULD have Continued...He was CLEAR EYE'D & his Legs DIDN'T Appear to Be Compromised, yet he Leaned into Smoger & Said "I'm DONE", Against a Noted NON Puncher... Ward's Performance was EXTREMELY Impressive, but he More than Likely DOESN'T Stop Dawson, if Chad had ANY Heart...Chad's More ACCOMPLISHED, but Otherwise, the Ortiz Analogy is SOUND...& Today's Version of Cotto is On Par w/Froch... Ward's Right There IN the Mix, but he Didn't TAKE Floyd's Pound for Pound Crown just Yet... REED
Not at all, Dawson was drained, undoubtedly, its why I compared Ward to Sugar-Ray Leonard, The Donny Lalonde Years. Yet, ironically, Dawson and Adamek, both of whom are inferior to Haye on all fronts, have a great chance considering that, at 200, Haye was usually tight at the weight. In any case, this is a Ward thread so I will leave it at that.
ANY Resume Can Be Torn Apart...EVERY Fighter has SOME "Issue" that Can Be Pointed to in an Effort to Explain an "Off" Performance...YOU have NO Problems Doing this when it SUITS You, yet You're SCREAMING American BIAS when Others WON'T Partake in Klit Licking... REED:mj:
Why the hell wouldn't you? He has the perfect excuse, but declines to make it. You're saying we should roll our eyes in knowing disbelief when he says "the weight wasn't an issue, Ward was just better?"

Dawson and Froch are as good as anyone Floyd has beaten in many years. I'd say Ward is pulling ahead in p4p based on the Super 6 and beating Dawson. Cotto is not even as good as Dawson or Froch at this point.
Irish's girl crush on the Klit dykes is reaching new heights of annoying. He can't keep Wald Pussy's name off his lips, even when actual fighters are being discussed.
