Ward cleaned out 168, there is nothing left. Only 175 left for him as a reasonable weight class. I would favour him over Stevenson and Kovalev too at 175. I understand that he was injured some time ago but some time has passed by since then and there are mouth watering fights at 175 waiting for him. My only suspect about Ward has always been, I mean since s6 why he isnt leaving his home turf(dont tell me he fought in atlanta because it still is favorable terrain for him)? I just dont get it, he is not big star in States, hell he cant draw fight fans for **** so why cant he leave and go fight in hostile places where he could make much bigger money for heaven sake.? There would have been great fights in past for him had he only left his back yard and there are great fights currently waiting for him one division higher. Sometimes I cant help myself but to think Farmboxer knows something more about Ward than rest of us... having personal referees, judges, venues, commentators etc. Maybe he is on something here.:think
I'm not sure what his deal is, big money fights are at 175, but he would no longer be able to dictate term at least immediately after the move. I'm sure he has his own reasons, and i'm not necessarily saying he is up to something. I'd imagine he would want to go up and try to clear out 175 like he did 168. But, if he is comfortable where he is at, nobody can tell him what he should do, maybe he is waiting on a Kovalev, stevenson fight to happen then try to get a big money fight with one of them.
Farmboxer is an idiot, a racist and a troll and not necessarily in that order!!! I mean Ward is half white at least, you would think he wouldn't hate him entirely. Besides a guy who can't draw flies to **** as is said somehow has enough money to keep judges, refs and whoever else on his payroll? Brilliant!! Studies have actually shown some of the white supremacist types to be of lower intelligence. ***boxer here is doing science mighty proud!!!
Bringing up Farmboxer???:rofl He's a racist that hates on every black fighter in boxing.:deal He picked Ward to lose very fight in the Super 6 what does he know? He's a racist troll log off.
Yeah, he's on something alright... Crystal meth. I hear that ****'s real popular amongst those who live in trailer parks.
Ward thinks there's an invisible man in the sky that leads him in the valley of headbutts and comforts him in clinches. surely it doesn't get much dumber than that.
I think Ward at this point feels like he deserves some nice payday fights. 175 doesn't offer him much on those lines as things stand, while also offering big risks in Stevenson and Kovalev. If Stevenson vs Kovalev comes off, the winner of that fight might be established enough for that purpose. He's also had some problems with his promoter which probably hasn't helped matters. As to Ward's chin, I don't think it's iron but it's not glass either, and he's so hard to hit with a full-blooded punch that it's a moot point anyway.
If he wants to keep fighting at 168, I can't hate on that, I don't really call fighters who want to stay in their own division as duckjobs or something. He should fight Groves next I feel though, for me that's the only interesting fight left for him at 168.
Not for nothing, but ragging on someone because they express bigoted behavior and then in the same breath calling said person a '***' is somewhat hypocritical. I don't think Ward is hiding anything, doesn't really make sense that someone with such limited drawing power would be protected and hyped by crooked commissions, refs and judges.
