    The Euros thought enough of Edwin Rodriguez to have him in that tournament in Monaco. There was nothing wrong with him when he was over there destroying Denis Grachev to win the whole thing.

    But as soon as Ward puts a whipping on him he's not world class anymore.

      Ward never beat Calzaghe.

      I guess Joe is still number 1 then

        Rodriguez was merely a tune-up/stay busy type of opponent. Fighting average fighters in Monaco doesn't prove anything. What's Grachev really done, squeak by Erdei?

        Ward can't go talking ish about Groves if he's stuck fighting sub-par competition like Rodriguez who had zero chance - while he's waiting for a golden opportunity to fight Chavez Jr.

        And mind you, there was nothing wrong with fighting a tune-up fight/stay busy fight or anything - but c'mon, you're fighting in front of 3.5K-5K people and Froch/Groves II is 70K+

        It's a fight the boxing community demanded and it's happening - no BS.

        I like Ward, but we have to be real. He's wasting his prime fighting his promoter just so he can get a PPV fight w/ Chavez Jr.

          Ward fights domestic fights everytime, in his back yard.

              80,000 people showing up!

              Last I heard, not even 80 people showed up to Ward's meet and greet at some local Sports Chalet in his home town. Not a good look being so bitter like Ward is.

                He also knocked out Sillakh. When Kovalev did that (AFTER Grachev) people were all over his jock and gushing about what a beast he is.

                    You know that nsb gets hard for every k.o. reel

                    Kovalev is still suspect to me

                    But I see your point. I still think Rod is just tune up fare
