    Golovkin fighting DeGale is comparable. Dirrell is a better win than any on Wards resume

    Does Andre Ward have vision problems. He has bee wearing prescription glasses lately. He is also cross eyed if you look at him closely. And what's up with the droopy eye lids?

    With such short notice there are not many LHW fighters who can make the weight limit in 25 days. Very dangerous and unsportsmanlike to do business like this.

    They offered a 50/50 fight, 50/50 money and 50/50 weight. The whole purpose of that offer was that it was an even offer to open the negotiations. Ward's team should of immediately countered with 166 55/45 or 168 60/40, but they didn't, they stayed silent for weeks. Why would they not respond with a "no" or a counter offer? Don't you know how negotiations work?

    They had to save face, so they came out with a BS offer of their own later, but only problem is that it was AFTER Golovkin announced his next fight.

    I am sure you fl0m0s don't care and I don't know why I am responding cause I usually just ignore you attention seeking trolls.

    You seem upset, why is that?

    Bummy ducked the Irishman for the chance to win the vacant WBC belt against Heiland. No ifs ands or buts about it. The man is a coward who likes fighting bums, that's why his name is Bummyluvkin.

    Ward has turned into a total b*tch. He is now a complete little diva who is living off the super 6.

    Moved up from SMW but don't want to fight any legit top LHW, instead his proposed opponents are being turned down because they are so poor.

    That is just embarrassing, nobody can defend this s***.

    Fought the LHW champ at SMW, instead of fighting the #2 SMW at the time Bute:lol:

    Ward could've completely cleaned out his division and made a career high payday if he would've done what James DeGale is doing next:rofl
    Ward could've made a real case for himself being p4p#1 by beating the LHW champ Dawson at LHW.
    What does Ward do? Fights the LHW champ at SMW:rofl
    That should tell you all you need to know about Andre Ward.

    SOB will always demand that all his fights be in his home town, with his personal referee, judges, boxing commission, ring size, everything.......SOB is a legend in his own mind........................Ward was a light heavyweight as an amateur, so what happened when he went pro? Ward appears to be a cheat.........................Ward also said he would beat both Klitschkos, but refused to sign a contract.........................

    Ward wanted 60% of the split coming off his inactivity. Then he went down to 50% but GGG had already been scheduled to fight Lemieux for a month. K2 told him that if he wanted 50% of the purse split he would have to shed 4 pounds. But this was horrible negotiating on both sides. And I doubt either were serious as they never sat down at a table to negotiate. They did the Twitter style negotiations.

    78 Sports TV is blasting Andre Ward on Youtube channel. LOL. He went off on Ward. Said his body should be in perfect condition with all this inactivity.

    exactly, both made unrealistic demands, and spent more time throwing accusations around than actually negotiating for a fight

    this fight isn't going to happen any time soon, if ever, so move on with your lives people! :deal
