    Kessler would have beaten him, had he not been hold 88 times without Ward getting a penalty and with Ward headbutting him all the time.

    clearly Bika, it's not even close with anyone else, Bika what he lacks in craft he more than makes up in MAN.....actually says alot about Ward that he won the way he did against that type of guy

    I was at the rose garden for the Boone fight. Ward was summarily booed after that fight. I guess the feelings from the fans towards him haven't changed.

    i got a feeling edwin rodriguez wants the added weight hoping to use his size & power to try & get ward out early

    I felt Boone beat Ward, felt it was a close against Froch and that Bika held his own, but scored both Froch and Bika to Ward

    Boone fight doesn't count. Ward was a kid just learning still.

    Bika gave Ward his toughest fight, but he also took the worst beating of any Ward opponent (granted it was the result of head-butts and elbows).

    Froch was completely ineffective against Andre. I rewatched that fight recently thinking how could Carl change anything for a rematch and it made me think there's no point to a rematch.

    Which makes me wonder why Andre wouldn't just negotiate himself some big money fights to go over to England and Denmark and fight those two again. As long as the judging and ref are legit he has nothing to worry about and he'll become a bigger global name and probably earn his biggest paydays yet.
