    Strange.

    When GGG says he cant get big fights because "nobody will fight him", people believe it it unequivocally.

    STB "They are ducking Ward."

    ESB: He was offered fights.

    STB: Did you know Ward was injured?

    ESB: But this was before and after the injury.

    STB: Did you know Goosen won't let Ward fight. And did you know they are all ducking Ward.

    ESB: So anyway lets talk Froch/Groves II

    GGG has fought 5 times in the last 13 months. GGG is fighting on rather the big names or networks want him or not, it is clear this man wants to be in the ring and is on the market as an opponent.

    People like GGG because we know he's going to drag somebody into that ring in July. He's not going to say "Oh well, I tried" and retreat to twitter wars for another year.

    Rather completely his fault or not, Andre Ward does not appear to be able to make a fight with anyone. You have to be available as an opponent to somebody, somewhere, to be ducked. Ward does not appear to be on the market to anyone.

    negotiations now? you claimed froch didn't want the fight. by your own admission ward's been injured, since he came back for 1 fight froch has been pretty busy. not in vegas, though, so i guess you missed it.

    Exactly, rather injured or tied down by his promoter, its pointless to cry about Ward being ducked. For whatever reason, Ward is simply not available to anyone. He's off the market.

    i should add, each of your fictitious quotes are the opposite of your own, oft repeated beliefs, perfectly highlighting your own double standards.

    you thought you were a clever ****, turns out you're just a ****.

    Well the fact that his team NEVER tried to make a fight with Ward for a rematch would lead me to obviously bveliueve he didnt want to fight Ward.

    Why didnt Froch offer to fight Ward after the super 6 in a rematch?

    Sure he crowed to the media how "Ward beat me on an off night" and other pathetic excuses.

    Why didnt he offer Ward a fight? Why didnt Hearn contact Ward?

    After the Kessler 2 fight, Ward said on SKY sports, "AlL Hearn has to do is pick up the phone and we can try to work something out"

    Apparently Hearn mustn't have international calls on his phone, because he neevr tried to make the fight.

    I cant blame Froch, i wouldn't want to get my ass kicked in front of my own fans either.

    Jesus Andre is it not enough to be trolling the media that you have to come on here and talk **** about people ducking you haha

    Ward himself doesn't really believe his being ducked his just doing it to keep himself in the media , why do you believe it?

    Yeah... because he is busy getting ready to fight in the biggest boxing event of 2014....

    Of course Ward would like everyone to think its because noone wants to get another loss of their record. But very few buy that, and for good reason. Because its simply not true.

    Wards bitterness really starting to come out. I feel bad for him

    when should froch have offered to rematch ward? when he was injured? he hadn't even fought when making those comments on sky, and since then froch has been busy with a mandatory and a lucrative rematch.

    i also find it odd that anyone thinks goossen (and possibly hbo) will work overtime trying to get ward a big fight, when it's pretty obvious he's off 1st chance he gets.

    Do you really believe Froch ever wanted a rematch with Ward in England...

    Honestly?

    If so, why did Frochs team never try to make a fight?

    People on this forum constantly ***** and whine that Ward doesnt fight in England/Denmark/Zambia/ Chile or where ever, as if his destroying of opponents in America somehow belittles his acheivements.

    These same people never stop to think that Kessler or Froch NEVER WANTED REMATCHES IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES!!!!

    We'll the headbutts and excessive holding he was allowed get away with in America did kind of diminish his victory over Kessler
