    Ward destroyed him.

    Had the boxing world in the palm of his hands.

    Then he got the brilliant idea that he should take his fights to the courtroom instead of the ring. Way to go Andre, I hope you didn't tip Winky too much for the career advice. :lol:

    Go easy on him CST, who knows how long he'll have to wait for the next Ward fight to look forward to. These negotiating table KO's are all that's left.

    Didn't matter, Dawson fought at 68 a couple of years b4 and he made it very comfortably he said. Ward was just too much. Full credit from me.

    I see it as a win at 175. 100% credit for Andre. It was 100% fair.

    Christmas 2016 if he's lucky. Worse case scenario he'll fight again by the time the next Star Wars trilogy is done.:lol:

    Too much risk for Triple G. They would have to offer him a lot more than he is worth to get him in the ring with Ward. It's not a good style matchup for him. However, Triple G fans will continue to believe he doesn't take the same calculated approach to picking opponents as any other boxer.

    If he signs the 3 fight deal, Bernard Hopkins might literally be in a nursing home by the time it's completed.

    The man was completely and 100% healthy and nothing went wrong with him. What he did wrong was sign the contract against The Son Of God.

    Ain't no one wants to sign the contract to fight that man, the best fighter in the world atm. Everyone is ducking that man!!! :deal

    The sad thing is I think Hopkins would be more willing to fight Kovalev again than Ward is. Because BHop has far more testicular fortitude than even The Son Of God.:verysad
