    Naive?

    Ward says "call my manager,Im willing to fight anywhere if the money is right"

    Hearns doesnt.

    Whats so complex?

    If frroch was the warrior everyone says he is, he'd should have been pestering Hearn around to clock to get the fight made.

    Instead of sounding pathetic and saying things like "he caught me on an off night" and "he didnt REALLY beat me"

    I lay out the facts and you come back with nonsensical statements.

    Interesting way of fighting your corner.

    Ward says on TV, that hes willing to fight Froch in England if the money is right.
    That Eddie Hearns just needs to pick up then phone.

    Frochs team never even tries to make the fight..
    What does that lead YOU to believe???

    Im genuinely curious what that means in YOUR head.

    it's more than you warrant. every 1 of your "facts" has been thoroughly and repeatedly dismantled by several of us in this thread, yet you keep parroting the same drivel over and over, like an autistic child. you've been done, everybody else sees it, accept it and move along.

    Which ones have been dismantled?

    Ward saying on live TV that hes willing to fight if the moneys right in England after the Kessler fight?

    That Hearn never tried making the fight?

    That Froch looked pathetic saying things like "He caught me on an off night"

    Tell me which one of these have been "dismantled" like a good boy.

    Because you seem pathetic when you're not able to actually argue a point and basically say "I dont need to, I know Im right"

    at least i only seem pathetic, you've removed all doubt. read the thread again, it's all there, and unlike yourself i have zero interest in repeating the same thing over and over. off out. enjoy.

    As far as I'm concerned Ward can stay inactive forever, he's just terrible to watch and a whiny primadonna too. He should just stfu and take a real challenge at LHW if he thinks he's all that

    Repeating yourself??, you never made sense once, let alone repeated it.

    Jeez, I like gettinginto discussions on this site, but never have I met a more stupifying contributor than you. You actually say nothing and then say, you're not repeating yourself!

    I lay out

    1.Ward said he was willing to fight if the money was right, in England,if Hearn picked up the phone.

    2.Hearn not trying to make the fight.

    You have Hearn on youtube saying "Yeah, we know Ward would be willing to fight in England"

    Its that simple. Theres nothing complex here. Its not a case of one word against the other.

    Thats actually what happened! This isn't even open to discussion.

    Ward was fit and healthy as of May last year. He was ready to fight the Kessler/Froch winner in the 2nd half of the year.

    Literally none of what I just said is incorrect!

    Maybe it is better you stop responding.

    You'll add as much to the debate by just not saying anything rather than what you're doing now.

    I hope Ward doesn't duck Groves after he whoops Froch, like he ducked Stevenson

    Groves shatters that glass chin all over Oakland

    Good fight

    Nothing there is bs. I follow boxing, you follow a one man show.

    His initial call out on Kessler/Froch was in December of 2012 when he was certainly injured.

    He was not cleared for light training until March. Kessler/Froch was in May.

    Ward's estimates for a return to the ring were for the fall. There was no word of him officially seeking fights until the start of July, which would be roughly 3 months prior to that SEPT 29 interview and well after Froch/Kessler II. There was no reports of an official offer until AUGUST. And of course Ward was seeking a fight with a push over(not Froch) to test his shoulder, and HBO didn't want to pay for that.


    "Fighting Words" by David P. Greisman

    from the scene

    Ward, coming off an injury and an extended layoff, reportedly wanted lesser opposition for his first fight back and more money than HBO was willing to pay for. The proposed names included super middleweight contender Stanyslav Kashtanov, former 168-pound titleholder Dimitri Sartison, and middleweight Caleb Truax, according to Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated. Of the three, Truax was the only one who had appeared on American television.

    The word of Ward vs. the likes of Sartison or Truax came in July. Then in August, super middleweight prospect Edwin Rodriguez informed his hometown newspaper that he’d turned down a Sept. 28 fight against Ward, a bout that Rodriguez preferred for November in order to have more time before “the biggest fight of my career,” he told the Worcester Telegram and Gazette. Rodriguez also said he’d signed with powerful adviser Al Haymon, whose fighters largely appear on Showtime.

    The guy was back in full training since May.

    The Froch/Kessler fight was in May.

    Assuming that the fight would be in August/September, then theres nothing stopping him looking for a fight in May.

    Obviously there would be at least 3-4 months after May for a fight to occur.

    A ring return in the fall would be perfect timing for a fight with Froch.
