Why did Andre Ward refuse to fight Adonis Stevenson?

Because he would get as much credit for beating Stevenson at 168 as he did for Dawson at 168..

 

I'd like to see Pibb or Nay_Sayer or lannister answer this one. Should be interesting.

 

**** scared of getting ktfo!

Stick to commentating "son of glass" before u get ktfo.:rofl:smoke

 

No way three replies come before Golovkin gets mentioned by him

 

Was a serious, official offer ever tabled for this fight?

Like when Froch and Kessler were mentioned rematching Ward, Ward said "OK then, don't just talk, come to the negotiation table and we'll see what we can do" and it all went quiet.

 

When did this happen?

 

Ward spent most of 2013 in rehabilitation from shoulder surgery.

 

Its a well known medical phenomenon. But it want no shoulder surgery....

I don't remember Adonis calling out Ward and Ward refusing but im awaiting to be proved wrong.

 

The difference between Dawson and Stevenson is that Stevenson is a 168 fighter and he moved to 175 when he had an opportunity to get a belt.

Is could fight Froch or Ward at 168 and knock them out cold.

 

:huh even though Adonis has not long moved to Lightheavy from the 168 division?

i'm sure he can still make weight.

but no, it's not that. he's scared of getting knocked out cold. this is a man remember that is in need of a big fight. Adonis fits the bill after the year he's just had.

plus, it isn't the money side of things that Ward has as an excuse considering HBO are big on Stevenson, as well as selling out when he fights.

it's clear. Ward is a chump who's ducked before. :deal

 

Adonis Stevenson can move down to 168 & wait in line or STFU

Andre Ward wants to become the Undisputed GOAT of 168, history in the making...Adonis is #2 Bad guy in his division & 1 out of 4 title holders, he needs to find his place in 175 first, or just shrink down to 168 & recieve judgement from the Andre Ward Godson :smoke

 

Ward never gave a reply when Adonis issued the challenge, he just out and out ignored it.

he wants nothing to do with Stevenson. Ward has made that clear to the media. the same goes for Kovalev. and this from a man who's desperate for a big money fight.

clear duck.
