Comments Thread For: Andre Ward-Sullivan Barrera Being Finalized For March 26

[Kagami Taiga]

Not his first fight at the weight. I see what you mean but he should be put on higher standards considering you guys are putting his ok resume on a pedestal.

There's plenty of better fighters in the division. I can name you 10 based on ratings. If you're the so called best in the world, you have to back it up. Fighting a non top 10 guy doesn't cut it.

Go read what I wrote under your post.

Sullivan is no joke, props to Ward for taking on a dangerous guy.

Calls out Gennady Golovkin. Fights the assistant shift manager at Autozone.

Good fight.. Legit opponent for ward

Barrera is the mandatory for Kovalev's IBF belt. Plus he's undefeated and comes out of the famed Cuban school of boxing.

This is a good fight for Andre Ward.

ggg turned pro later then most and ggg is from kazakhstan so it was very difficult to build a following where ward was fighting on US tv early on in his career. you don't seem to be factoring in these things. you seem to be pretending that everything is equal for every fighter which it clearly is not. its like giving trump 100 million dollars and giving another guy 5 dollars. look trump is more successful after 10 years....a shocking result. ward used his opportunities to become very successful but he also squandered many opportunities by being inactive and turning down fights. meanwhile ggg has continued to rise slowly but surely while ignoring people who continually compare him to American fighters who had inherent advantages. you can't cater to the ignorant...unless you are trump. brought it all around in the end

so lets act like he chose not to fight, when the boxing world knows he had injuries and promotional issues....that stuff is out of the way now so why hold on to the past


GGG has a lot of hype...I don't care how old he was when he turned pro...he has been a pro 10 years....He went the same Olympics as Ward went to and got a silver medal.....they have moved this guy too damn slow to be as good as he is and he is running out of time in regards to being able to keep his current form


I want to see him in some real good fights before the he is past prime and washed up excuses come if he ever takes an L or has a less than stellar performance

They had to find something to bash Ward...As if being in the Top 10 automatically makes someone a good fighter anyway.

What if Barrera was ranked # 11. LOL. What's the difference between #10 and #11?

more than likely dont know who he is and thats why they say hes not that good

Good fight. His first real test in what has been ages now.

On another note, for someone who is "irrelevant", the GGG defence force sure seem to love talking about him.
