James DeGale giving Andre Ward a lesson in willingness to travel

Despite winning a Gold medal at the Olympics I think he's failed to really capitalise on the attention that gave him. The early loss to Groves and being under the shadow of Froch has left him rather unappreciated.

There was a question on a popular sports quiz show about DeGale being the first Brit to win a gold medal at the Olympics and become a world champion and nobody knew the answer was him and there was a boxer on the show. Just goes to show how unappreciated he is and how he will need to travel to make the most money. He will need to gradually build his popularity by winning and going for the best fights available.

 

Brilliant post...spot on

 

Haymon [DeGale] and Roc Nation [Ward] won't deal with each other... So, this fight is unlikely to happen.

 

To be fair, most fighters could give Ward a lesson in willingness to travel for fights.

 

This is so true.

Not only has Degale been on the road more in 1 world title fight, he is also facing fighters Ward didnt appear to want to fight. Degale is also facing these fighters away, which Ward didnt appear to eager to do

 

What top prime undefeated SMW did Ward beat?
What top prime SMW did Ward face?

 

Ward best wins:

faded Kessler (who lost to 'Zaggers in his prime)

Froch who lost to Kessler (who lost to Zaggers in his prime)

Drained Dawson who lost to Pascal who lost to Froch who lost to Kessler (who lost to 'Zaggers in his prime)

Abraham who lost to Froch who lost to Kessler (who lost to 'Zaggers in his prime)

Bika (who lost to 'Zaggers in his prime)

Green who lost to Kessler (who lost to 'Zaggers in his prime)

Edison Miranda who lost to Abaraham who lost to Froch who lost to Kessler (who lost to 'Zaggers in his prime)

Paul Smith who lost to Groves who lost to Froch who lost to Kessler (who lost to 'Zaggers in his prime)

Calzaghe >>>>>> Ward.

 

Ward's greatness is based on 2-3 guys maximum. Then you put the inactivity after it. Its an incomplete resume. Lacking of depth and talent.

 

He also refuses to take the test. :-(

 

When did they want to test him? Which fight?

 

Edwin Rodriguez.

The CSAC also have one of the most relaxed policies on drug testing in boxing. And for some reason, Ward doesn't want to step outside it's borders......:think

 

u just mad cause froch was never no 1 at 68:happy

 

Yes he was for a period of at least 6 months at the end of his career.

Plus he had a PED free career. We can't say the same about disgraceful Ward

 

Ward ducked Bute harrrrd!

Good luck to Bute against a very talented fighter!
