Who talks **** about Andre Ward? I mean who... For ****s sake! Floyd is such a whiny, jealous piece of doo dung! Andre ward is undefeated and he never won a controversial decision... He's the man! He's better than Floyd could ever be... Andre doesn't duck any fights.. He just boxes, goes to church and is a good role model! Who won the Gold medal? Ward, Who is the better man? Ward... Who hasn't taken a **** while in Jail? Ward, Thats who!!! Hail Andre Ward... may peace be with you my man. **** Void and his rant... He's such a hater!
You can tell reporters/interviewers are always trying to instigate things. Floyd will get a lot of heat for what he said but it'll be the overly sensitive ones who will launch the backlash. Ward can do two things: He can choose to return fire and pick out Floyd's shortcomings or he can take what Floyd said as motivation to achieve a bigger name in boxing. I don't think he needs fame but...every boxer wants to make a lot of money and achieve a celebrity name. As for "SOG" I honestly don't know why some people have a problem with this. Perhaps it's a lack of understanding. Why can't someone call himself the son of God without being labeled as a pretentious person? If I say I'm my mother's son does that mean I'm undermining the existence of my siblings? Of course not. I'm just stating the obvious. SOG is a corny nickname, I would never use it. But if Ward wants to be a cornball then I suppose that's better than being an outlaw like Edwin Valero.
Being religious and believing in invisible men in the sky is not a good role model. Floyd is right don't bring religion in to boxing soon as you do well we know what happens.
****ing Floyd is just mad cause Ward had the guts to challenge Martinez at 168, walking dead drunk Pavlik at 168, Dawson at 168 and will probably do the same with Pacquiao and Marquez at 168. Mayweather is probably jealous of Ward's income too. He probably makes more in a fight than the bet Mayweather placed for whatever game. Mayweather would probably be jealous of Ward's PPV numbers if Ward had any. Mayweather wished he had Ward's wife, that way noone would blame him for a few ko's and he wouldnt visit jail. Floyd is afraid that if Ward doesnt leave Cali soon, he'll have a better tan than him. Floyd is afraid he'll lose his best buddy in Ward's favor. After all, 50 cent is closer to the price for a Ward fight ticket and we all know fiddy is all about exposure. Plus the "i got more people in my house than people who pay to see your fights" jokes would actually be funny. And true.
Floyd is just being Floyd. He is tapping Wards nuts because he's gaining in stature and doesn't want to share the spot. I remember not too long ago Floyd couldn't give away tickets to one of his fights....even if it was in his own backyard. It wasn't until after DLH that he reached the level of popularity he has today. Notoriety outside the sport is difficult without piggy backing off someone else who has a household name. Ward will get there. Eventually. ....just like Floyd. Or maybe surpass him in terms of popularity. He definitely more marketable.
I was surprised to read this by Floyd......I don't think it's wrong for Ward to support Guerrero personally.....even though I really dislike Guerrero. Even if I was pissed off by it I certainly wouldn't let it be known publically. Maybe Floyd feels Ward owes him some loyalty because he supported him in the S6 I don't know.... Despite what he was saying being valid it just seems an error in judgement to go public. I guess we wont see Ward at the Mayweather gym no more.
I can see why Floyd blasted Ward but i do think he took it a little to far in this interview. Floyd probably felt disrespected bc Ward has trained in his gym, became somewhat friends and learned a thing or two from Floyd and Ward basically to the media that he wants Floyd to lose. Thats like some old kung fu flick when you dishonored "my family" lol
