    poor Andre, he's like the most popular girl in high school, he's the best chick in his school, but he's banged everyone and now nobody wants to get with him because he has nothing more to offer

    maybe he needs to "tranfer" to 175, where I'm sure Kovalev or Stevenson would gladly take him on

    Oh, im sure hes doing just fine.

    Cushy lil gig commentating, a fairly illustrious career behind him.

    The guy could fully retire right now and be just fine.

    Bute had a chance to redeem, but lost to Pascal afterwards.

    What happened to "Moving up to 175 is definitely NOT out of the question " ??

    He said that right after he took out Dawson .

    Is it Kovalev ??

    Honestly at this point , his inactivity turning people off so I don't think he really want to hear what the fans have to say .

    Nope, I have essentially no interest in boxers financial positions or court cases outside of boxing.

    Just a simple old boxing fan.

    If Ward wants Froch, all he has to do it say I'll come to the UK and fight you in a 75/25 split in your favor, and the fight happens. Will Ward do that? No.

    He will say come to Oakland and fight me for a 75/25 split in my favor and that is none negotiable. Ward doesn't really want the fight.

    In my opnion it's better to have some fights on his record rather then just playing the waiting game. I mean if Wladimir klitscko would wait for a decent challenge to the heavyweight crown he would wait 2 years in between bouts.

    I would have no problem with Andre fighting "lesser" guys just to stay busy.

    The real question is why you care so much about legal proceedings and the financial state of people you dont know and have never interacted with.

    Like i said, Im a boxing fan.

    The problem with Ward is he doesn't want to move up or down in weight....what he fails to realize is that marketplace is not in demand for him so his negotiation power is null.

    The guys who are in the driver seat, Ward expect them to bend to his well.

    It not going to happen.

    Why would Froch, Golovkin, Kovalev, Chavez move around to accommodate him when the demand for these fighters are higher than anyone asking to see Ward fight.

    Ward needs to make up with his promoter and get fighting. That HBO money he get announcing does not come in unless Roy takes a day off.

    One of the most truthful post I've have ever read in my 20 plus years of following boxing.

    Thank you my brother for being passionate.
