Andre Warddke - a protected cabbie

I give him credit for the skills he does use, even if he does tend to fight with an ugly boring (and sometimes cheating) style. Same reason I never really liked Hopkins or Bradley

but you cant deny he wasnt a little protected

All his fights in US (mostly in oakland)

Gets awarded points for a win against an out of tournament fight in which was closer than the scores suggested to ensure he would go through

Gets let off for excessive holding and use of the head

 

Andre Ward is the

I just find it hard to believe that the only fighter in the super six who was not willing to travel out of his own country is now making offers to go abroad. He has no reason to do it now he is the top guy at 168 the fights will come to him.

So he can make these claims knowing that its never going to happen.

 

Ward future p4p #1 IMO

The guy's a special talent

 

I laughed.

 

he has never left America. it is not about him being good (he is really good) but is a man who will take risks and fight out of his comfort zone or a hometown punk.

 

Im no fan of Ward's though im also no hater

but come on he beat Froch and Kessler clearly and is picked by most to beat Dawson

guy is hardly protected

only fight he has ever been accused of avoiding is Bute and now thats hardly a problem unless Bute bounces back big time

 

whats the difference with bute in Canada. most of u r American fan boys who critized calzaghe. DOUBLE STANDARDS.

 

and on top of that how many greats traveled constantly in their careers

Jones Jr NO

Hopkins NO

Calzaghe NO

Tarver NO

Ottke NO

Maske NO

Bute NO

Ray Leonard NO

Tommy Hearns NO

I mean outside of a select few like Ali and a few others to name most guys probably fight 90 to 95 percent of the time at home

 

IT IS NOT

IT IS not about if he the best. but a true champion will fight anybody any where

 

look at my above post, which top flight fighters constantly travel for their big fights?

Only legend i can think of who frequently fought on the road was Ali

 

hopkins did travel France Miranda fight. jones had fights in russia and australia, and toney had a early bout in monoco. ray learnod vs duran 1 was in canada.

 

Jones fought in Russia and Australia when he was no longer relevant and Canada was a neutral location and thats one fight in an entire career

most boxers fight home, thats why this over protected stay at home fighter argument is BS
