    After roasting Canelo, Ward proceeded to low blow him fourteen times while the ref wasn't looking.

    Wasn't Andre Ward's refusal to travel to other countries during the Super Six kind of cowardly?
    Then Ward said he'd fight Canelo, but only in Oakland with three crooks as judges and a dishonest referee who would let him head butt and use other illegal tactics.

    Ward said he had other things to do rather than come back to fight Canelo.
    He's the only fighter to be too busy to make the most lucrative fight he could ever have.
    He also didn't want to rematch Froch in Nottingham btw.

    I agree that Canelo is ducking Benavidez but Ward is just a jealous sore bunghole

    Also wouldn't fight Bute, told him he needed to beat a name fighter first, so Bute made the Froch fight, then Ward turned around and complained why was Bute fighting Froch and not him. I'm a fan of Ward as a boxer but damn he talked a lot of ****. Which in part is why he was never a big draw.

    Damn it was hard to sit through that interview, Ward just sounds extremely bitter to me to be honest, I get that he's trying to hype American fighters but this is just cringe. Guy really has the audacity to said that Canelo is ducking Terence Crawford and ducked Andrade, I mean come on. Canelo did what Ward couldn't do in completely unifying the 168 pound division as well as getting a clear win over Kovalev. I don't wanna hear any ducking talk from Ward, the guy clearly ducked Lucian Bute, Bivol and Beterbiev and his fight against Chad Dawson was disgraceful, he was basically fighting a corpse.

    Says the guy who retired from the sport at 33, the same age as Canelo is now, instead of fighting a murderer's row of Stevenson, Gvozdyk, Bivol and Beterbiev. **** him, he has literally zero room to talk.

    Ward talked for years about facing Golovkin but never made the least effort to get the fight made. When GGG agreed to go up in weight to face him Ward said point blank that he wouldn't fight at 168 which he had insisted for years was the weight he would fight GGG at.

    He’s right but Ward imo was guilty of many of the same things.
