During the Super Six, Froch had ALL but one of his fights in foreign countries: Kessler in Denmark, Abraham in Finland, and Ward in the USA. Ward had ALL his fights - Kessler, Abraham, Froch, Bika - in his home country. Was that fair? Also, before the Super Six, Froch won his world title against Taylor in the USA. Froch is a warrior, Ward is a pampered prima donna who has to have everything his own way.
He is not to be blamed, but the win in itself is not to be regarded as something out of the ordinary. Ward beat a corpse named Chad Dawson.
Dawson was the one who wanted the fight at SMW, you dumb****. And Ward fouling isn't as bad as Wlad elbowing and throwing Povetkin to the ground.
Too good for his own good. He has beaten the best fighters in his division already, so now ppl say he is ducking guys from 160 and 175... Ward is a great boxer, he should be appreciated more.
Check "licktheballs" posting history. He just makes that above post over and over again, he never posts anything else.
American fighters fight in America. Its the way it is. Devon Alexander has had more fights in St.Louis than Ward in Oakland , but nobody complains about him. Freedom isn't a boxing fan , he's just a fan of a person. Ward is a beautiful boxer. Wlad is a wrestler.
Yeah, I think that's a fair comment. He's a brilliant fighter, and I doubt that boxing in different countries, with different referees etc etc would really have altered the outcome of any of his fights. All of that said, I find his attitude annoying. He always seems very negative/dismissive in response to suggested matchups, which I understand to a degree, given that he's beaten most of the names in his division; but considering that he hasn't fought that often and isn't exactly box office gold, I do wonder exactly what it is he's holding out for.
andre ward knows how to box. Sucks that you guys let your weird insecurities keep you from seeing true skill.
Send the memo to Stevenson... apparently he's not deserving of a fight, even though he offered a 2-fight package: 168 in Oakland, 175 in Montreal. Ward turned it down. That said, Ward is a master at adapting to one's strengths. I just wish he wouldn't bail on Stevenson the same way he bailed on Bute.
