    Dont hate ward, but he has zero personality, takes himself far far too seriously with all this s.o.g ****. Imagine going out for a drink with him? He is boring. He may be a talented boxer, but if mayweather had wards personality he would be at least 40m dollars poorer than he is. You will never see ward in the kind of exciting fight we witnessed this evening. It would be froch fans buying the ppv, not wards.

    Just listened to Ward's interview. Not a likeable guy TBH was once a big fan but not keen on him anymore. Makes valid points but i do feel he thinks a lot more of himself then the U.S fight fans do.

    I mean the bollocks about all fighters having massive hearts and wills to win shows he's needled by Froch and Kessler. I think tonight the crowd and the event hurt him as he's the best fighter yet not got that acclaim.

    Mate you are right. Look, he is like 99% of "jesus freaks" they all take themselves far too seriously, and act like they are somehow better than everyone else. Froch is a proper down to earth character, and very likeable. Ward needs a PR makeover.

    :lol: I hope i'm the 1% :good. But yeah he just seems to take himself so seriously and seems to love sound of own voice even on commentary.

    When i listen to Paulie on Showtime it's like he's interacting with colleagues and learning and teaching as well. Ward is like No, He's doing this and this because i said so. It's almost like Lampley and co are like ''ffs Dre chill out for once..''

    He seemed snappy with Smith tonight.

    ward ****ed himself over not fighting bute hes now lost all his momentum from the super 6 - yes hes the best but nobody cares as hes done nowt since

    hes has to trawl to the other side of the world to call out a fighter hes already beaten or start chatting **** about much smaller fighters to try and generate some interest in himself and to remain relevant

    froch is likely the best payday available to him and the money for its generated over here yet he still wants it in his backyard

    I think that's unfair on Ward. He's gotten criticised by the Gatti brigade because he doesn't get his head bashed in and fight like a ******. I can understand he's had enough of people running him down for his undoubted superiority while boosting someone for slamming in.

    Froch was really disrespectful in the post-fight interview with HBO, IMO. No need to say Ward isn't entertaining because he doesn't brawl.

    Froch will not beat Andre Ward but people would rather watch Froch. Froch is where the money is at in Super-Middleweight division. Everyone knows that we all do. Andre Ward knows that.

    he will not get a bigger fight than Froch in his life. You can be a great boxer but if you don't sell yourself and people don't want to watch you then there really is no point. He does not fight enough in my opinion for one. He fought Chad Dawson and made him come down to super middle and never stepped up to light heavyweight.

    He does not fight away he knows nothing about being in the lions den. people like Kessler and froch get acclaim cause they will war it out and fight someone ANYWHERE!

    At SMW... Wow. :roll:

    Ward ****ed himself up with that fight, IMO.

    Here's what he should have done:

    Fight Bute (before Carl did)
    Fought Dawson @ LHW
    Fought Carl @ SMW

    The SMW division would have been cleaned out by him then. He'd have also beaten the best at 175.

    He is top, top class but I think he's a complete tosser. Claiming he had to travel a whole "5 hours" for the fight in the states, so it was an away fight for him aswell. He needs Froch more than Froch needs him, which is bizarre.
     
  14. ward don't need froch

    his next big payday is around the corner ... chavez jnr

    if they both win there next fights that fight is on

    Yeah I think you're right there mate, I think that is a fight that makes a lot of sense 2 HBO darlings meeting later in the year in Vegas or California seems too logical to not happen.
