Let me tell you ward fanboys something, your boy has no where left to turn, his back is now against the wall with the growing reputation of fighters like GGG, Beterbiev and Kovalev wating on the wings ready to remove his blackened blasphemous soul for good. There can be no more catch weight excuses, no more arena excuses, no more management or network excuses, and no more ''I need time after a long lay off'' . Ward has to step into the ring with a credible fighter, to regain respect he has now lost As for you Andre Ward - The boxing world is beginning to open their eyes and see through your smoke and mirrors political chess games. We know you're afraid of losing that O. We know GGG will make your brain bleed Kovalev will arrearage your spinal chord and spend back up through your dirty lying mouth. And Artur would snap your bald cross eyed head so far back you will be permanently seeing things from an upside down perspective. It's time to step up, and as for you Virgil Hunter... you need put that crack pipe down and realise you ain't no Jedi Master/Gandhi Martin Luther king new age trainer. YOU AIN'T FCKING ****!
LOL. But seriously does Ward have eyesight problems? Those glasses he has been wearing are prescription. I think Roc Nation made a mistake and signed a broken fighter.
Christ. I like GGG, Kovaelv and Beterbiev, but where is all the hate for Ward, a great figher and proven champion, coming from? Ward's career went off the rails due to injury and promotional problems. It happens. He is slowly working his way back and will be fighting somone of note sooner or later. I am hoping for Kovalev.
He never looked injured in any of his fights. Also he resigned with his promoter, why would he do that if it was shut a sjh!t deal? Then he comes back expecting people to shower him with accolades as if he is Floyd Mayweather. That's why people give him grief.
Losing a fight is no big deal. But Ward feels that if he can keep his record undefeated for a few more years his golden ticket will arrive and he will start making $30 million per fight.
I still don't understand what Ward has done to receive all this vitriol on this forum. It's perplexing to say the least. That guy literally wiped out the SMW division and a few years ago it looked like he was on his way to an ATG career before he had injuries and promotional issues that essentially put his career on hold for a few years. I like both guys a lot, they're both very skilled fighters with incredible amateur pedigrees. There's no reason to insult/denigrate either of them just to sensationalize the other guy.
Andre Ward must be hiding a glass chin. That is why he is so afraid of fighting all these hard punchers. I think he retired from boxing and has joined a "bum fighting circuit"... He hasn't fought anyone of note in 4 years.
atleast kova has a shot at beating ward, everytime i watch GGG i see an excellent fighter, very very smart and patient, great chin, game changing power, but not for one second do i think he has what it takes to beat andre ward. the fight will never eventuate anyways but the kova fight will likely come off
That was aeons ago, that **** is history now. A new generation of fighters have propped up, meanwhile most of the names ward beat have now retired. It's time to fight the young ponies, if you think you are the best, fight the best, home or away venue. Not hide, run and make bs excuses accusing other fighters of doing exactly what he himself is doing i.e ducking Get the fck in the ring, and fight!
yeh but the division was alot more stacked back then. also he literally just fought, not a big name opponent but after a long layoff i was just happy to see him back, i believe i read his next fight is at light heavy which will likely be a decent opponent but def not kova. hopefully after that fight he takes on kova.. im not sure what you want from ward? you asked him to fight but he just did ?
He fought in a glorified sparring session 4 months ago and he hasn't announced his next fight You can bet your ass the next 2-3 fights will be against nobodies. I will bet you my account on here that he will never have the ***** to get in the ring with Kovalev at light heavy.
