Why is Andre Ward always delaying fights against his toughest opponents?

    Is it not enough that he always gets the dice loaded in his favor in the US? Hard-hitting A. Abraham, hard-hitting C. Froch, and now likely hard-hitting K. Pavlik have all had to wait until he was good and ready to fight. Is Ward trying to make sure his opponents are overtrained and/or rusty in the ring? Does he believe he's the only one who should be allowed a proper length training camp? I am truly shocked and disgusted by these tactics and cannot believe so many boxing fans buy into these mysterious "injury" excuses.

    In addition to the three cases above, let's not forget that he forced S. Bika to fight him on short notice as well, thereby coming up with a new way to gain ad advantage with the calendar. Unfortunately for him, he still couldn't measure up to Calzaghe's dominance against this similar opponent.

    Of course, the fight with drained overrated American C. Dawson took place right on time because Ward had already gained a big enough advantage on the scales to make his temporal gaming superfluous.

    All big meaningful fights take place in America, get over it. There's a reason Calzaghe came and went and no one gave a ****.

    Oh, so Ward fought against "King" Arthur Abraham, Carl "The Cobra" Froch, and Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik right on time? :rofl

    You're an idiot if you think Pavlik is one of Ward's toughest opponents.

    Does it ****ing matter?? He still fought them so whats your point???..Injuries happen wether you want to accept it or not.

    Its really funny listening to you haters constantly make **** up and trying to pass them off as actual facts...I would love for you to provide some solid proof instead of your hurt feeling!:lol:

    The same reason why Berto was having so called pre fight injuries, and using month old earthquake to duck fights

    Yes, I'm sure he'll be a cakewalk compared to that peak and prepared opponent Ward fought in his last fight :patsch

    So far as I can see, the only factual inaccuracy posted here so far was from you when you accused me of making stuff up.

    And I love this idea that "he eventually fought them." I sure hope you never bashed Calzaghe for not fighting Hopkins earlier, because that's the same exact principle you're applying here. Of course Calzaghe actually wanted to fight Hopkins, whereas diva Ward is the one making people wait.
    Just as you're the one posting factual inaccuracies, it appears you're the one who's also mad seeing as how this is your third post in the thread and also the third one featuring an obscenity.

    chad dawson called out ward and said he'd go to his weight and the negotiations went smoothly. period.

    ward claims to have a hurt shoulder. i'll take him at his word. considering kelly has pulled out more than a porn star over the past few years it be what it be.

    Yes, Ward smoothly rejected Dawson's subsequent request that the fight take place at a more reasonable weight fair to them both. Then Miranda smoothly knocked out Dawson. Then Ward smoothly clowned him.

    Pull-outs/delays in the last 2 years
    Andre Ward- 3
    Kelly Pavlik- 1
    :patsch

    :rofl Are you serious with this non-sense!? You act is if you know for a certain fact that Ward is " faking injuries" to get some type of edge...You're accusing him of that but dont have a lick of proof other than your bias opinion in which you're trying your hardest to pass off as fact.

    Yet, I'm the one with the inaccuracies??:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl
