    I like Ward. He was dirty at times, but his skills, IQ and grit is commendable. I’m especially impressed at how easily he dominated Froch.

    But he is not a five-time world champion though, is he?

    He may have won that many belts during his world championship career between Super Middleweights and Light Heavyweight. Why are you nitpicking?

    He's a master controller. He knows basically everything about control in a fight. He's not very popular in this forum, but he's a hell of a fighter.

    I couldnt mention a good trainer for Haney in another thread. Well, Ward's trainer would be a good option. It was virgil hunter right? Haney would benefit a lot from that knowledge.

    Virgil Hunter is horrible, Haney needs to stay away in fact there's so many fresh new trainer minds out there everyday might as well get his team out there to scout some.

    I didn't even watch his documentary that was obviously a big time gesture from SHOWTIME to sway Andre to their side of the booth, too bad that they are now out of business but i guess there's always the next network in the future for SOG's consistent unbiased commentary, here's to hoping.

    Here you go again LOL You've got nothing but to keep harping on Margarito& glove loading That's over & done they couldn't prove a damn thing against him, could they LOL The CSAC were left with egg on their face when that lab proved those pads HARMLESS!! with NO trace of plaster.
    Antonio Margarito was a FIGHTER!! not a dancing cowardly cheating fool like your idol Floyd. He scared Floyd so bad he ****himself in fear at the sight of him Some TBE huh. I still say there was a conspiracy against Tony,
    none of your heros had the stones to fight him, especially Floyd LOL He was in the way he had to be removed though. They found a way didn't they??
    Yes I'll always support The Tijuana Tornado & proud to have known him all those years. How you can support that little cowardly, cheating , woman beating POS I'll never understand. We all know why he cheated at IV gate, the NSAC too ,yet they attempted to cover his butt but only made it worse & proved his guilt for sure To think I used to think you knew boxing, you don't have a clue do you

    There was a book titled "A Fighter's Heart: One Man's Journey Through the World of Fighting" written by Sam Sheridan. He was just a normal guy who had a passion for martial arts and became a writer. When he was young, he went to different hot beds of combat sports and trained with them. He lived and trained at a muay thai camp in Thailand. He fought and won at least one professional muay thai fight while he was there. He trained mixed-martial arts at Miletich Fighting Systems in Iowa under Pat Miletich.

    He was also allowed to train and hang out alongside Andre Ward and Virgil Hunter at their gym for a time. Andre was still just a highly-touted prospect at this point and was ascending towards the top. It was interesting to read a third party account about this period in Ward's life before he fully developed as the great fighter he became.

    Ward was a fantastic boxer. Yes, he was definitely dirty. Nobody can deny that. But I always enjoyed watching his mastery of the sport.

    Yes he did he beat the crap out of=Froch for starters in Atlantic City. However keep peddling your lies and untruths borne out of hatred for the Son of God. The darkness of evil and the devil cannot work in the light of the Almighty God and the Sons of God such as Jesus Christ or Joshua Bar Joseph, the honorable Prophet Mohammed
    (Sallahu alaihi wa salam/piece and blessing upon him) and Andre Ward.

    Should've could've but didn't same old story while Loma gets more old, I know it would be a difficult task but I'd rather Loma now go after Shakur besides what else is left on his table.

    The problem with many on this forum is they make to many presumptions about things and people sometimes with no basis.
