    Ward doesn't seem to think so. You may feel its Ward and nobody else in his stratsosphere but the reports of him wanting an "easier" opponent would imply that he feels there are "harder" opponents.

    Ask Ward, he wanted an easier opponent and tried to present HBO with unknowns Sartison and Truax as his opponents of choice before settling on the untested Rodriguez.

    So now it boils down that you feel you know Andre Ward better than he knows himself. For whatever reason, Ward felt he wanted an easier opponent coming off his lay off, that's his choice. Since you disagree, take it up with your hero, I hear he's got lots of free time to be on twitter.

    Oh no, they're not comparable, Froch has about a 20% chance of beating Ward.

    E-Rod had about 10%.

    That would make him twice as likely to beat Ward... Much tougher.

    Hilarious.

    He could retire now and he'd still have cleaned out a division.

    Cant say that about Carl can we.

    And Ward did it, at an age where Carl was beating up Cab Drivers back in Nottingham.

    He could spend the rest of is life on twitter and still be remembered as a more accomplished fighter than Froch.

    Now you just want to trash talk because you know what you are arguing is illogical.

    Ward is rightfully the top guy but Froch as of now has a better claim to cleaning out the divison than Ward. Froch has been the divison's policeman, facing and beating far more contenders.

    Not really. He's in danger of becoming a modern day Gus Lesnevich

    If Ward doesnt fight this year, its perfectly reasonable to remove him from rankings due to inactivity. Right now it looks like he wont. I actually do hope I am wrong, I dont dislike Ward and some of his fights are entertaining (not all *cough Kessler* but some)

    I only dislike his trash talking other people, when his lack of fights is due solely to his own bad business decisions.

    Ward had better be careful. He is one of the best boxers in the sport and a tremendous threat to the many hyped pretenders of the sport.
    Traditionally, when a guy like Ward threatens other less talented athletes in the sport, when they aren't careful they end up in career stagnating lawsuits like David Tua, Ike Ibeabuchi, Mike Tyson and Bernard Hopkins often found themselves in.

    Next thing you know, bums like The Klitschos are ruling the division because all their top opponents have been hemmed up in bugus lawsuits and proped up charges.

    This is all really a moot point. Ward cannot fight so long as his contract is in dispute. No one is using it as an excuse not to fight him, they cannot do it without risking a suit being brought against them by Goossen Tutor. The truth is Ward should just fight out the contract, because he has already lost once in arbitration.

    praise be.

    you know, right here in this post of yours, discerning minds such as mongoose can differentiate between your words and the truth, just like with ward.

    all the best!

    What Ward is saying is that he CAN fight while the dispute is going on.
    Its not benefitting Goosen that Ward doesnt fight.

    Let me guess your an American, yeah the Klitschko's are bums lol if they were black and American you'd be on their nuts. Klitschko is a top 10 HW he'd destroy a Holyfield or Marciano, Dempsey, Louis ect bums **** off you no nothing about boxing. Tua Ibeabuchi not near Wlad or Vitali level. Bhop got beat in his back yard by Calzaghe.
