Ward vs Froch

And when was that? 1991?

 

Yes, and he improved as the tournament rumbled on :l1:

 

perhaps eubank was weakened making 68. he did move up 20lbs after

 

And? Did he stop Eubank or did Eubank stop him????

 

One side of your mouth, two years of tough fights can change a fighter. The other side, Eubanks drilled Watson in 1991, come 1997 Ward had better watch out.

 

Eubank always had weight issues, sometimes because he cut corners, {Watson} other times simply because he couldn't get down, but he was always tight at the weights, until he moved to Cruiser.

 

Oiy, if you want some help,.. you keep failing to mention america's favourite legendary masterful brilliant ring genius,.. Shove Hopkins into the equation, you know that one hurt bad.

I think Ward makes Hopkins roll around on the ground the way Joe did,.. but I want you to mention Hopkins in the spirit of this debate,..for this could be a chance where they beat Hopkins down and say he's shit, I've been waiting a long time for thisartie:.. :crafty:

 

Doesnt change the fact that Watson was beating the shit outta him, and had Eubank not landed that hail mary, he might very well have been stopped.

 

Neat. Swing and a miss. I never said any such thing. I said Ward had the smoother route and that sometimes that can count. I also added that Eubank still had enough left in 1997 for a win by a green Calzaghe to count for something and that Eubank would have had plenty for Ward at that point in time too.

 

Yeah, the Myth of Marciano was based on even less.

Eubank stopped him.

 

I don't get the disrespect for Ward here. He clearly won the fight.

Someone said it best earlier...Froch was classy in how he handled the loss...too bad his fans aren't.

 

Point stands - Ward's a better fighter than Eubank was in 1997.

 

Because it wasn't supposed to end this way. The two faves going in were Kessler and AA. The American black fighters were supposed to get dominated. This was supposed to be his moment to gloat, his "I told you so"

He's not handling it very well.

 

Ward vs prime Sloppy Joe would be an interesting fight though.

 

Without question. A VERY interesting fight.

 

Now now, we don't want to muddy the waters by getting too many pfp legends in the mix, gumshields will be spat, it might come to blows, although not many Hopkins fights do.

 

Ward is a mulatto.

I'm surprised Irish hasnt tried to HALF claim him.

 

Who is disrespecting Ward? Show me these instances of disrespect for Ward? And who are these "Froch Fans"???

 

An American mulatto. :nono:

 

he shed a tear when ward was visiting that cemetery

 

To be fair, it's more whining than disrespect.

 

You gotta admire Froch. He's a ballsy guy. He woulda tried like hell outta Calzaghe, but Joe would have slapped the hell outta him all night.

 

Really? Show me where I did this? I thought Haye vs Wlad was my moment? Seems I've got more moments than a fucking Quality Street ad.

My "moment" will be when Sports llustrated rings Andy Warz and Andre Ward answers the phone.

 

Yeah, Froch is a tough man... ALWAYS brings it late. An ugly guy to watch, but he squeezes everything out of what he has.

Calzaghe beats him big on points no doubt. Froch arguably has a better resume, however.

 

Oh, what was I whining about???? :dunno:

Always remember, you got the banning stick, Steve Cappucino, you can stop this anytime!!

 

Indeed.

It's cool. Give it another 20 years, you'll get yours.

 

You spent the entire bout whining.

 

Did I? About what?

 

I like Froch a HELLUVA lot more than I do Calzaghe, but its pretty simple.

A slightly past primmed Calz clearly beat a PRIME Kessler.

A prime Froch lost to a faded Kessler.

 

Go on!! Keep moving!! And remember....you can stop it anytime!!!
