I've said it before and I will say it again! I really cant see, why so many licking Wards ass! What a f...... **** he is and the worst champion I can remember. Get you sorry ass up in the ring, istead of talking **** and hiding youself in Oakland. He is young and should be hungry, but no, he rather wait, so Kessler and Froch can beat eachother up and then the oooooohhhhh so hungry and talented Ward, will take the leftovers. What a BIIIIIIIIIIIG joke you are, Ward! F....... *****!

Leftovers? Don't start the new year with this attitude :/ He already beat both them and the fight wasn't even close. Ward has only fought in his actual hometown like 4 times I think. With Bika i don't think he even has a hometown...but that was a stay busy fight.

Ward would be stupid to fight here. He holds all the cards. If you want the belts go and get them!

I love reading how people will make certain excuses for certain fighters, and deride others for the same thing

But yes, Ward doesn't need to travel. Though he would earn a lot of respect and make more fans if he did, I'm just saying

He is young and should have a lion's heart, but he chose to sit on his ass in Oakland. If he is a true champion, he should respect Kessler and Froch so much that he gave them a rematch. He has received so much criticism for his headbutts against Kessler, so if he have just a little self-respect, he would give him a rematch, NO DOUBT!]

Tell me one away fighter that won in the S6?
If you dont think home advantage counts for much, then Im surprised Wards team didnt dare travel.
Consider this -
In Europe
Bute, Dirrell, Pascal, Andrade, Green, Lucas, Lacy, Manfredo, Pudwill, McIntyre, Jimenez, Sheika, Brewer, Mitchell, Schommer, Holmes, Close (I said based in America), Thornton, Essett, Jarvis, McClellan, Perez, Gatti (not Arturo), Tate, Butler, G Johnson, Hernandez, Bryan
Lost in Europe
This just gives an idea but do consider that out of those 28 fighters 21 were or became world rated in the division, and some fought more than once in Europe.
You can add Mack to that list also to make 29 fighters.
Tells all right there

European SMW fighters fighting away from home have had better success but still lost away.

Joe may as well of never fought at LH. His stint there was more bogus than his SMW title defences.

Calzaghe beat a one handed Kessler
Click to expand...

Calzaghe was an old one handed fighter

and then refused to give a rematch on neutral territory, infact it's funny Kessler never got a rematch despite being a champion
Click to expand...

Seeming to forget that Calzaghe was at the end of his career and had a bigger fight in Hopkins after Kessler and was struggling bad to make SMW and was then a LHW. All this unlike Ward

and travelling down to Wales to fight Joe and it's also funny niether Reid or Hopkins got a rematch both guys gave Calzaghe his toughest fights
Click to expand...

What did Reid do right after fighting Calzaghe to get a rematch? Lost. Also dont forget that Reid refused to give Calzaghe a shot when Reid was champ and wouldnt have a unification with Calzaghe.
As for Hopkins, he backed out on Calzaghe years previously.
Looks like their very own actions came back to haunt them

yet Mario Veit a guy Calzaghe blasted out of there in ONE round previously was worthy of a rematch
Click to expand...

Calzaghe had to rematch him, or he would have lost his title, as unlike Reid, Veit after losing became the int champ and would have been awarded Calzaghes belt if Calzaghe didnt fight him. Calzaghe was due to fight a nothing fight with B Magee, before the more highly rated and accomplished Veit had his team pull the plug

A fighter who held the weakest of all the recognised world title belts stayed mostly at home to defend his 'title' and happened to have an equally protected fighter in the same division both men going on long unbeaten streaks while avoiding each other was not ideal.

Click to expand...

Only around a half of Calzaghes world title fights were in his own
based country, so not sure what you are on about?

It took Joe 41 fights before he became unified and lineal champion yet Ward has managed to do it in 25 fights
Click to expand...

Thats because Ward was in a competition that made it possible. Reid and Ottke refused to fight Calzaghe when champs, but that shows the mark of Calzaghe, when old and past his best, the young champs are willing fight him and old Calzaghe beats them, which is even now Wards best win fighting a leftover

while facing decidedly stiffer competition, unless you think Lacy and Brewer are better oppenents then Froch and Kessler.
Click to expand...

I think Eubank, is better than Kessler and Mitchell, and Lacy arguably better than Froch. As explained the division standard has dropped.
Froch rarely looked good, and was fought to a Mdec by old past prime G Johnson before fighting Ward, the same G Johnson who was beaten when prime by Sheika. Lacy was beating guys like Vanderpool by KO, who was schooling Johnson, who was Frochs fight before Ward.
Froch had looked poor in most of his world title fights and never beat anyone as good as Liles like Mitchell did.
then there are all of the other top SMWs Calzaghe beat.

Calzaghe beat 3 undefeated fighters who had or went on to claim a SMW title.

This content is protected

1. Someone tell me which top undefeated fighters Ward has beaten?
2. Tell me which top undefeated world champs Ward has fought?

Lets read the answers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This content is protected

Andre Ward............VS.............Joe Calzaghe
Froch.....................................Kessler
This content is protected
(Kessler beat Froch)
Kessler...................................Eubank
This content is protected

Dawson..................................Lacy (Lacy a proven SMW and winner of 5 SMW title fights. Dawson no pedigree at all at SMW)
This content is protected

Abraham.................................Mitchell (Mitchell a 2 time SMW champ who had never been clearly beaten, only lost by debateable SD in Germany to Ottke, had KOd long time SMW champ Liles, beaten a future SMW champ twice, compared to AA who had done nothing at SMW)
This content is protected

Bika.......................................Brewer (Bikas best win became Manfredo, Brewer had beaten H Graham and was a SMW champ)
This content is protected
(Bika was a Calzaghe left over at that time and had been out of the ring bar less than a round for a while)
Green.....................................Woodhall (Woodhall a SMW champ, who had beaten a reigning SMW champ, a world rated former champ, a future SMW champ and Branco a world rated SMW who became WBA LHW champ, who at SMW beat R Reid and G Johnson who when old and shot KOd Green)
This content is protected

Miranda...................................Bika (Bika now a top 5 SMW had drawn with 3 time SMW champ Beyer)
This content is protected

Buchanan (?????)......................Sheika
This content is protected
(Sheika was coming off a win over G Johnson and was a top 10 SMW at the time)
Camou (?????)..........................Veit (Veit a SMW title holder who had a fair resume, better than at least 2 of the current top 5 SMWs)
This content is protected
Then include the
This content is protected
win and then the other top 10 SMWs and its clear Calzaghe is well ahead. I could have put
This content is protected
ahead of Green, Camou, Miranda, Buchanon

Very clear but nobody will have a sensible answer to say otherwise, it will just be a lame Faileys losing it answer when they cant debate against

Somebody tell me how Ward has done more than that.

Nobody can counter the above or answer the questions. In fact they hide from the questions

Some Froch-fans are trying to sell the idea that Kessler will get respect if he agrees to go to the UK.

Reality is he will not.

If he loses the same people will mockingly say "Froch beat Kessler... get over it ***gots!"

No one in the super six went abroad because they wanted to show they are warriors or honorable. They did so because they were contractually obliged to do so.

If Kessler goes to UK it will be very unusual and probably a reckless decision that almost no top fighter would. When did Hopkins, May weather, Ward etc last even consider leaving the US?
Click to expand...

ALL contractually obliged? no no no Ward only entered under the condition that he have home advantage, plus Froch had already gone to the US on his first defence against Taylor and Kessler had already put a world title on the line in a unification fight abroad against Calzaghe. Both had already shown their willingness before the tourney was created. atsch
