    Then he just will fight once every 18 months like he has been doing and claim the bum he's fighting is a 'tune-up' and he has 'promotional issues'.

    Two guys who had promotional issues but remained active are two guys Ward seems to talk about a lot. Carl The Cobra Froch and Gennady Gavin Golovkin. :deal

    No, it's because he can't make SMW anymore.

    You don't care what you write. You just get your jollies on seeing something you wrote in print. The shiit is always wack.

    No offense but peiople care a hell of a lot more about what I write than you.

    You have gotten just 185 views in 4 and a half years on ESB. Averagring less than 4 views a month as they know all your posts are racially motivated.

    People have visited my page nearly 1000 more times in half the time span seeking my snippets of expertise.

    Put a folk in this ham and egger. He's done :hi:

    Makes no sense since Ward offered to fight Triple G in 2016 after Triple G's fight on PPV. He's never once said he'll move up for a PPV fight. He has however maintained the fact he'll look to unify the titles at the MW division, which is fine.

    You can't run to 175 where the fighters are bigger and stronger and oh ya there is a guy named Kovalev who has a much better chance at beating Ward then Triple G.

    Ward wanted a neutral venue which he has every right to since he did school Froch in Atlantic City not in Oakland. Froch wanted the fight in Nottingham where he's from.

    Shortly after the Ward vs Rodriguez fight when him and Gossenn were fighting in the courts Andre claimed that he wanted to fight but Dan wasn't offering him anything. After some research I found out that Ward was offered a fight against Anthony Dirrell at home in Oakland and he turned it down saying that it would be a step backward in his career. Ward is a notorious liar!

    What makes DeGale remotely worthy of Ward's contemplation and decision to face him or not, when Ward is moving up a division and heading towards a clash with Kovalev? It's pointless for Ward to consider DeGale; not only because of there being bigger challenges for him at LHW but also, as previously stated, Ward would spank him every day of the week.

    Then why did he only say Wembley. Why not ask for it at the 02?

    Fact is because nobody knows who Ward is over here, Nottingham is where it sells the most tickets. And with Ward's inflated price demands it needs as many tickets as possible. Spending a fortune on the overheads for Wembley and not selling many tickets is stupid.

    And Ward can run to 175 if he has every intention of pricing himself out of a Kovalev fight too, which I'm sure he does.

    And yes. GGG did say that. Google

    Jack Reiss can be a thorn in the side SOB referee when fighting against SOG. No Lou Morett or Robert (Adalade's Hubby)Byrd either.

    He didn't ONLY say Wembley, he said he wanted a neutral venue. Hearn even said that it was one of Ward's demands. As we saw Froch didn't want a fight against anyone since he led everyone for a month into thinking he'll fight Triple G, but retired like coward that he is.

    There have already been discussions talked about by Kathy Duva with Ward on fighting Kovalev in 2016.

    Triple G has said before he's willing to fight anyone from 154-168. Saying he would only fight at 154 for Floyd and Loeffler has said they won't fight Cotto a PPV star at 154 or a catch weight and it whoud have to be at 160.

    Also how is Ward not a PPV fight? Triple G fought an over matched Lemiuex who most thought would get KO'ed. Plus the fact he's never fought on PPV before and not even from the US.

    DeGale is a Haymon fighter. Ward is with RocNation.
    This fight wouldn't happen if Ward was still at SMW

    Ward has always been too big for SMW. He is not young anymore and can't cut so much weight. Easy as that.
