The WBC rankings is corrupt because Andre ward is the best at 168.
BQ: Andre ward by UD.
You're surprised? A taxi driver could probably rank in the top 10 if his last name is Chavez. Look at all uncle Jose did for Chavez Sr. Sure he was a great fighter but the WBC has to take some of the credit for his stats. You had to knock him out twice to get a draw.
.
If Chavez and Ward fought for the WBC title, Ward might be required to tie his right hand behind his back and limit his punches to eight per round. When was there a more protected fighter in the sport than Chavez is right now?
.
Personally, I'd love to see the fight because I'm no fan of Chavez Jr. and I think Ward will embarrass him. I loved watching his father, although he was a bit protected too. However, I don't like the way the WBC moves Heaven and Earth for Jr.
.
I'm not even sure I want to see a class act like Andre Ward take the risk of fighting Chavez. Although Chavez has only a puncher's chance of beating him, I'm more concerned with what the judges might do because I'm sure they'll spot Chavez about four rounds, which means Ward has to win eight to get a draw.
.
Also, I'd be more concerned with the conditions preceding the fight. Does Ward have any children? He might have to auction off one of them to slavery. Why would any fighter risk facing Chavez. It's like being in a street fight against someone you know you can beat...............but having his eight brothers hold you.
.
The other scenario would have Chavez not face Ward at all. If you can't cheat, why have your guy face a guy he certainly can't beat. I think, if all things could possibly be normal, Ward would embarrass him. I'm being a bit facetious but I really don't see such a fight coming off without some kind of advantage for Chavez even before the fight starts.
.
You think Margarito loaded his gloves. Ward might be forced to sign an agreement allowing Chavez to load his. .
.
Really, this is more a name fight for Ward. It'll be good to have the name on his record but I don't see Chavez winning this at all.............................unless they bring in a couple of guys to break Ward's knees first.
The WBC always had there favorites and always try to give them shortcuts.
Anyway even if Arum doesnt want that fight, I think HBO will push hard for it. Ward will likely be a 8-1 favorite so the question is can Ward knock Chavez out? I can see a corner stoppage where they throw the towel but I dont see Ward dropping Chavez
Well Ward was just criticising Froch for considering taking the 'weak link' in Chavez after previously flirting with the idea of fighting him on PPV so i'm not sure since Ward changes his view often. My guess is that he will fight Bika next or fight the winner of Degale vs Badou.
Interesting fight because Ward mainly mauls his opponents on the inside. Naturally people would assume a fighter like Ward will use movement like Martinez because he is an undefeated black fighter with good defence but judging by the fight against Froch where he was the one pushing Froch back i'm not sure. Chavez is slow like Froch and has an iron chin like Froch. I think it could be similar to that fight except Chavez is in worse shape than someone like Froch and Ward would probably have two healthy hands this time.
Ward is good a pivoting to the sides of his opponents quickly after a clinch and landing a few punches on the inside. Because he has a speed advantage this could frustrate Chavez and despite him not having to chase Ward like Martinez i don't think he will land many significant punches. Ward UD.
He should fight Ward, just to give Ward greater exposure and so he can knock Chavez Jr. back off the list where he belongs.
Ward by easy UD
i really hope he fights ward just to p1ss froch off who wants to fight chavez jr . ward would get an easy points win
Ward will destroy him. Ward is the best fighter not named Mayweather, and Chavez is an overhyped, daddy's boy.
Will he fight Ward?
