So, this thread proves that the vast majority of Brits like and respect Andre, but one over zealous Joe Cal fan boy makes so much noise that nobody notices.
WHY DO PEOPLE SAY **** LIKE THIS?? You do realise us british people have different views and opinions on things don't you? Just because one person thinks it, doesn't mean the rest of the population of Britain will.. I'm British and I really like Andre Ward. Soz.
I'm a Brit and I am beginning to like him. Yes at first I wasn't convinced by him. I didn't expect him to win the Super 6. I disliked the fact he fought all his fights at home and his ring name is just plain awful. But there is no denying his ability. He doesn't have the flashiest style he's definitely not fan friendly. But he is such a clever and crafty fighter with superb technical skills. I am slowly becoming a fan. I don't see anyone being able to beat him for years to come.
How do you work that out? This content is protected This content is protected Calzaghe beat 3 undefeated fighters who had or went on to claim a SMW title. This content is protected 1. Someone tell me which top undefeated fighters Ward has beaten? 2. Tell me which top undefeated world champs Ward has fought? Lets read the answers ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This content is protected Andre Ward............VS.............Joe Calzaghe Froch.....................................Kessler This content is protected (Kessler beat Froch) Kessler...................................Eubank This content is protected Dawson..................................Lacy (Lacy a proven SMW and winner of 5 SMW title fights. Dawson no pedigree at all at SMW) This content is protected Abraham.................................Mitchell (Mitchell a 2 time SMW champ who had never been clearly beaten, only lost by debateable SD in Germany to Ottke, had KOd long time SMW champ Liles, beaten a future SMW champ twice, compared to AA who had done nothing at SMW) This content is protected Bika.......................................Brewer (Bikas best win became Manfredo, Brewer had beaten H Graham and was a SMW champ) This content is protected (Bika was a Calzaghe left over at that time and had been out of the ring bar less than a round for a while) Green.....................................Woodhall (Woodhall a SMW champ, who had beaten a reigning SMW champ, a world rated former champ, a future SMW champ and Branco a world rated SMW who became WBA LHW champ, who at SMW beat R Reid and G Johnson who when old and shot KOd Green) This content is protected Miranda...................................Bika (Bika now a top 5 SMW had drawn with 3 time SMW champ Beyer) This content is protected Buchanan (?????)......................Sheika This content is protected (Sheika was coming off a win over G Johnson and was a top 10 SMW at the time) Camou (?????)..........................Veit (Veit a SMW title holder who had a fair resume, better than at least 2 of the current top 5 SMWs) This content is protected Then include the This content is protected win and then the other top 10 SMWs and its clear Calzaghe is well ahead. I could have put This content is protected ahead of Green, Camou, Miranda, Buchanon Very clear but nobody will have a sensible answer to say otherwise, it will just be a lame Faileys losing it answer when they cant debate against Somebody tell me how Ward has done more than that. Nobody can counter the above or answer the questions. In fact they hide from the questions
Kessler, Froch, Abraham and Dawson are Ward's top 4 SMw victories. Kessler, Lacy, Mitchell and Reid are Joe's top 4. Green and Miranda are his next level, Joe has Woodhall and Eubank. Calzaghe has more depth but Ward has better quality and better achievements imo, plus he'd beat Joe in my book. Ward > Calzaghe.
Which would be sadder: If Bailey has this at cut and past disposal, permanently saved somewhere on his computer or if he has typed this same response so many times he has it memorized? Or is that the old "would you rather bang Roseanne Barr or Rosie O'donnel" question?
lol Ward's career is not even close to being finished ******. it's sad when you have to compare a retired fighters resume to a guy still in his 20's. even sadder when the younger guy is almost on par with retired fighter.
Only the Calzaghe nuthuggers are jealous of him and hate on him. Alot of British posters on here actually respect and like him. He gets respected just like many AMerican posters on here(such as myself) truly appreciate and rspect Froch.
Brits aren't fussed on god botherers We tend to look down on the religious and religion in general. Makes me quite proud actually, religion is for feckin donuts. He is boring aswell, good fighter but boring.
