    Ward is a proven elite fighter. He already proved he was the best at 168 by fighting in the Super 6. A tournament that was supposed to be a showcase tourney for Kessler and Abraham I might add. Ward was brought in to be an opponent, he wasn't expected to win anything. The hate and bashing of the guy is unfounded and reeks of jealously to be honest. Ward is the the #2 P4P fighter in the world behind PBF. To say the guy sucks or he ducks guys is fcuking unfounded and trollish behavior.

    Since Ward fought at 175 in the amateurs, there can only be one reason he insisted Dawson fight him at 168: he wanted Chad to be weight-drained.

    That was unsportsmanlike, and very selfish for someone who calls himself the "Son of God".

    Yes, they have double standards.

    You will always have to fight Ward in Ward's home town and agree to have Ward's personal referee, judges, boxing commission, commentators to tell you is winning the fight. Will Ward want a written guarantee that you will throw the fight? Ward's opponent much not be on steroids, but it's OK for Ward to be on steroids, as Ward refuses to take a PED test. Why?

    Says who? If he was brought in to be an opponent, the contract wouldn't have stated all his fights had to be in Cali. :think

    Do you agree Stevenson should be on his to-do list for 2014? Otherwise who do you see as a legit challenge for him?

    This tournament was designed to showcase Kessler and Abraham both of which were favorites to the American public. No one gave ward any hope of wining he was just filler.

    Ward is an awesome fighter. He also likes to fight at home. This is no doubt a comfort to him but he isn't a massive draw at home with a big fan base like Bute so its harder to justify from a neutral perspective.

    I think it's a case of him being not as confident as he should be. I mean the likelihood is he'd have beaten Kessler without some of the dirty tactics he employed or Carl Froch anywhere but for one reason or another chose not too. It's all echoes of a certain other SMW champion who get labelled a 'stay at home' fighter before him.

    You didn't answer either of my questions. :conf

    "A tournament that was supposed to be a showcase tourney for Kessler and Abraham I might add" - you sound as if Showtime thought Kessler vs Abraham would make up the Finals. Show me an article or interview where Hershman or other Showtime officials say that. Otherwise it's only your recap of what ESB members predicted in terms of Ward not having a chance, it has no real bearing whatsoever.

    if the mans name was joe calzaghe, you punks would be calling him the GOAT. Keep nitpicking, whatever feeds your obvious delusions.

    STFU about Sportsmanship you lousy hypocrite.

    Your fragile god Vlad is very unsportsmanlike with all his:
    Clinching
    Holding and hitting
    Pushing down on his opponents

    Vlad is far dirtier(and BORING) than Ward..:hi:
