Ward would be thrilled we are even thinking about him at all in 2014. The way he talks on HBO and the disparity between reality and what he thinks his positiion in boxing is, I have a new name for him, Andre "Mental" Ward.
Andre Ward is a dirty fighter, but he is not remotely as filthy as Ricky Hatton was when he was on the go.
Did you not notice that when Ricky fought in America though he wasn't Aloud do ****, the ref in the may weather ought was a disgrace Ward holds more though and headbutts like ****, wards tactics make fights boring hatton was more a rough and tumble fighter
Hatton was an all around filthy fighter, and when he wasn't allowed to fight filthy, he was exposed. And Cortez in that fight was nowhere near as bad as Parriss was in Tszyu Hatton.
Not even close. Ward headbutts. Hatton headbutted, shouldered, held and hit and complained when he wasn't allowed to get away with it. Hatton was a thousand times dirtier than Ward ever was. If you deny that, then you're in denial.
You left out what's dirtiest about ward, ridiculously excessive holding and getting away with it, ward-Kessler was a disgrace to the sport
The Ward-Kessler billy goat butting video has been deleted from Youtube but here's a gif of him elbowing Froch in the second round of their fight. http://i.minus.com/iCD8AX2f2zxHj.gif And here's a video of him crying about getting a taste of his own medicine. lol [yt]reZmGBDlyRA[/yt]
The man is a gold medalist for crying out loud and he's undefeated ,it seems to me that unless you have a loss ,your going to have a bad rap on this board.
Excessive holding? Hatton's specialty while he's hitting his opponent? You are most definitely in denial. Obviously you have never seen Tszyu Hatton.
Froch, the rabbit puncher extaordinaire himself? We all know Ward is dirty. But what's astonishing is that you people are in denial about you're favorites.
Ward holds a lot more and if you watched that hatton fight the holding was mutual and just as much came from kosta Ward initiated 90+ clinched against Kessler in 10 rounds, that's not counting the ones Kessler did , it was ridiculous and he would have been disqualified in any other country
Firstly, who am I in denial about? And since when are Froch or Hatton my favourites? Tszyu is literally one of my all time favourites and I was absolutely gutted when he lost to Hatton and Philips, the later of which I still haven't seen yet and refuse to watch to this day. lol. I'm the last person you'll find defending Hatton. lol
No. You obviously haven't watched the Tszyu fight if you believe he was as dirty as Hatton. My favorite was round 6 when Hatton literally cuffed the back of Tszyu's head and punched him 6 or 7 times in the face while Parriss just stood there and watched:good. Disqualification, indeed. Wicky got away with it. Good for him. I have never seen anything like that before in my life. But, considering Parriss reffing in Barrera Khan and Rogan ***ton 1, it comes as no surprise in retrospect. But hey wickie is your boy, so I understand ur denial. It's all good:good
