    Ward will fight BHOP, Cloud, and Cleverly. He's clearly running from a Bute fight and is likely scared shitless of Anthony Dirrel, James Degale and Brian Magee.:-(

    ...knowing that Ward posted on his Twitter that he would NOT vacate the belt but rather go after the other two, I'm wondering who's telling the truth.

    Don't know if Ward actually tweeted this in response to The Dog's tweet, or to..... my thread (from yesterday) on here in regards to him possibly vacating. Yeah no.

    :D :lol:



    I don't know how convincing I can be, but Andre, on the off chance that you're reading this, here's what I think:

    This content is protected



    ...and the answer to being undisputed stems with Lucian Bute. :smoke

    I am surprised if ward is going up to light heavy.. Would have thought a fighter of his pedigree would want to show his skills against say bute, whom many think will give him a good fight:think

    Well, if they're such great friends then why is Tony talking about how Ward don't want none of him and how before Ward vacated......he was ready for the fight. :huh

    Don't wanna fight Anthony Dirrell as mandatory. Andre or Anthony for huge money, sure.

    But not "just like this". They're buddies.

    As to him going to LHW, no ****in clue. That's Carl Froch's agent (and Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing) linking this **** as truth.

    Nope, he's actually saying on Twitter (yesterday, as opposed to 'today' for the above linked article) that those rumors are false. On one hand you have Boxing Insider, Carl Froch, Anthony Dirrell, Eddie Hearn and Steve Kim treating it as strong possibility (re: Ward not fighting a friend of his to defend the WBC title), and on the other you have........... Andre Ward saying "don't believe it!". That is all.


    Ward ain't fighting a Dirrell for small money. The time AND money must be right, he's said it before. And The Dog is WBC mando.
