    Ward is a stay at home fighter who prefer fighting in front of his few friends and family. That is well known indeed. If Ward want the fight, he should fight in Germany (but we all know it won't happend. Saying on the other hand that Ward lowballed Stiglietz is stretching it a little... Stiglietz should conter offer at this point. But two only few days after the initial offer, going public about it make me think Ward does not want the fight that much.

    Oh? After having all of his fights in the SS at home I think a fair number of people would think it is up to Ward to go to Germany where he can make more money and take Stieglitz's belt. Why should Stieglitz travel for less money than the fight would bring in Germany?

    Why the **** would any sane fighter go to Germany to get robbed? Everyone knows the the boxing theater that happens in Germany is corrupt.

    So Stieglitz should go to Oakland for less money to be robbed? No way Stieglitz wins a decision in Oakland against Ward if even by some miracle he could outbox Ward. This cuts BOTH ways in this case.

    SOB refused to fight Bute, refused to allow Bute to fight in his own tournament, refused to allow Bute/Froch fight to be shown on Showtime and was the only boxer who never had to travel. SOB will fight in his hometown with his personal referee and judges.

    Will fight against what opponent?

    Bute aint worthy, Dirrell is his boyfriend, Kessler is too white and has a big tatoo which is not a christian thing to do, Hopkins respects him too much, Tyson and Ali duck him, Martinez is afraid, Floyd is busy betting sports, Paq is busy learning english, the Klits are too boring for him and unproven...

    Its a shame he's got so much skill cause his brain is ****ed up. Probably the reason why his fans can be counted by kindergarten kids.

    Steiglitz has fought some fair comp. Steiglitz beat undefeated WBO champ Balzsay who is now WBA regular champ, beat undefeated Gutknecht who beat Balzsay and is now European LHW champ and Steiglitz beat Berrio who became IBF SMW champ

    You forget to note that Steiglitz has also beaten undefeated WBO champ Balzsay who is now WBA regular champ. You note that he beat undefeated Gutknecht but dont note that Gutknecht beat Balzsay and is now European LHW champ and Steiglitz also beat Berrio who became IBF SMW champ

    Balzsay 21-0

    What undefeated world champ has Ward beaten? Or what top undefeated SMW has Ward beaten? Has Ward beaten any undefeated fighters as good as Balzsay or Gutknecht?
    Now im not saying those 2 are as good as unwell Kessler, but knowing Kessler wasnt well and how poor Froch has looked, I wouldnt say there was too much in it.

    Stieglitz vs Abraham would draw a lot in Germany , so I think this is gonna be the next fight for Stieglitz .

    SERIOUSLY! ****!! WOW!!!!

    You sound like me on David Lemieux a bit over a year ago. :lol:

    Calm down dude. This was aimed at BatTheMan and his lowballing antics. :conf

    On the flip side, you gotta admit it's not likely that Goossen Tutor Promotions would match a Sauerland offer. Not likely at all.


    Besides, Abraham is the new official WBO mando. Sauerland outhustled Fwank W, me thinks.

    Abraham-Stieglitz will make gigantic money in Germany.

    Ward is the best fighter at 168, but the money aint in the States. It's in Germany and Canada. Wards just needs to realize he will have to leave Oakland and hit the road :smoke
