    what is wards problem he calling out smaller men like mayweather, martinez & chavez who are all in divisions below him, yes i know chavez prob goes in the ring heavier than him & even shouting his mouth out at calzaghe who's been retierd for years. is he bitter he cleaned out the divison but froch & kessler are still bigger draws than him? why the **** dont he move up to light heavy himself to get fights then?

    Calling out name fighters is much better than:
    "I'm not looking for tough fights"
    "I know my limitations"
    "It would take the crown jewels"

    And Brittard takeover in 3....2.....1........

    Who else is there north of super middle? He already trashed the man at light heavy. Hopkins wants absoltuly no part of him. He cleaned out super middle and then some. The only place left for big money (and big legacy) is south. He can still make middle easy I think. And I hope he cleans house there and calls out Mayweather. I think he beats pretty boy (yes I know he is way bigger than Floyd).

    I don't blame him for calling out Martinez and Chavez, they are names with one having an obvious size disadvantage against him and the other being quite ****.

    Calling out Mayweather was indeed embarrassing and pathetic though.

    Better than Froch calling out a fighter he lost to decisively and blaming the location for it.

    Not really, because he demanded Dawson come down to 168 so he would be severely weight-drained.

    Ward is the most demanding prima donna in boxing. It seems ridiculous for him to claim to be a "Son of God" when he's the dirtiest boxer and the most selfish person in the sport.

    I didn't like that fight at all. It shouldn't have taken place. Ward should've moved up in weight instead. I mean he's already cleaned out his division. I'm still interested in him rematching the winner of Froch/Kessler, but after that, he should definitely think about moving up. My guess is that he's waiting for Chavez Jr. to move up so he can get a big money fight.

    he just wants to fight some names. nowone knows who these young up coming super middles are.. it doesnt look like he gonna fight guys like tommy gun/edwin rodriguez/anthony dirrell. none of them are ready and they would be poorly managed if they are allowed to fite ward.. it doesnt seem like ward is ready to move up to 175 yet so hes trying to get a 160 to move up. but serg isnt gunna move up and chavez will be moving up soon if he hasnt already. one more fight for chavez at 160 then hes peacin out to supermiddle an if wards there still thats gunna happen for sure

    No.

    Dawson called out ward, ward didnt call him out. Dawson said on HBO after beating Hopkins, "We can do it at 168..." How was this a "force"???? It was Dawson's idea to get the fight. You euro fans on a I hate Word mission has these events all twisted.

    Hagler : Fought smaller fighters (his best wins in fact)
    Hopkins : Fought smaller fighters (many of his best wins)
    Jermain Taylor : Fought smaller fighters
    JC : Fought smaller fighters
    Pavlik : Fought smaller fighters
    Mayweather : Fought smaller fighters
    Hoya : Fought smaller fighters
    Vargas : Fought smaller fighters
    Martinez : Called out smaller fighters


    I could go on and on and on.....

    Dawson challenges Ward, says at 168.


    Revisionist history : Ward demanded Dawson come to 168

    :lol: :patsch
