Andre Ward said in 2012 he'd fight anyone at 168 or 175

Ever watch the campaign? His like marty huggins in that taken people on his tours around his beloved city of Oakland, he never wants to leave

 

Amazing to see posters convince themselves with just sheer speculation.

Ward has faced and beaten Abraham, Kessler, Froch, Dawson to justify his #2 P4P spot.

Who has GGG fought again?

 

GTFO here with that avoided/ducked ****.

Lara wanted the fight with Canelo, showed up at the Angulo fight, made some noise and got the fight. That's how it's done, son. :yep

 

GGG has proven himself consistent and committed certainly but he hasn't stepped up yet more than once. I have little doubt that he will soon enough - but be that as it may, he has yet to do so.

 

Well he is a die hard floyd fan..

 

Better manners?

LOL. This is boxing, not a Soviet KGB recruitment dinner. atsch

Fact is, if GGG stays quiet then maybe perhaps no one will notice him and he can do another 4 years without fighting anybody. If people ask him why he can say that everyone is ducking him or better yet, say that he doesn't speak the language.

LOL. I don't "hate" anyone. You're an extremist and like to exaggerate when people start speaking truth.

 

Ward retired years ago.

 

He has been offered and admitted to being offered fights with the likes of Chavez Jr, Golovkin, Martinez, Stevenson and Kovalev but for one reason or another none have come off.

Whilst injury has been a factor in his lay off's his contractual wranglings have been the larger issue; Californian state athletic commission has twice upheld his deal with Goosen and in it's decision has spoken of the fact the promoter has offered fights to Ward which he has rejected.

He has also admitted in interviews that he isn't happy stepping down or going up in weight; believing the fighters around him should be coming to him. This is all well and good if you are a main attraction...but he isn't. Whilst he is without doubt one of the 3 best pure boxers in the sport he probably isn't even in the Top 25 in terms of fan base/ppv attraction therefore he can't be as demanding as he comes across.

It's frustrating as he had a chance to push himself into the limelight and grow his fan base when facing Dawson. That was a fight which should have been in Vegas or New York and had he stepped up to become a two weight champion I have no doubt it would of done. However he chose to make Dawson come down in weight and wanted the fight in his home town. All well and good but then he can't moan when fans don't flock to see him.

For me he is certainly up there with Mayweather in terms of ability; sadly he seems reluctant to test himself outside of his comfort zones and given his lack of PPV star attraction he will remain a flame which will never truly burn brightly....and the fault in that ultimately falls on himself.

 

Loma is a ****** ass bum and Russell is too. :yep

 

and GGG said the same thing from 154-168 and he hasnt done sh.it
whats your point?

 

That thread should be in the classic section.

OP!!!???
