No one wants to fight Andre Ward at 168?

[Weebler I]

Because One guy is the king of his division who fought all the top guys while the other guy is in the process of trying to start it

The other thing is I think Golovkin is a natural middleweight, whereas Ward started out at light-heavy and has to manage himself to make 168.

I think people are being a little unfair towards ward what fighter doesnt fight at home especially when hes the champion floyd lives in vegas thats his home town since grand rapids,dela hoya did aswell,alot of fight fans slag off fighters who never went oversees yet did good at home defending what they earned if you want something you better go earn it,people keep saying theres lotsa fights at 175lbs but all there calling for is 2 fights stevensen and kovalev then what? bellew cleverly? the talent pool is greater from MW SMW than it is at LHW and ward doesnt look as naturally big as kovalev and stevensen,theres fighters out there like stieglitz chavez jr periban sturm groves dirrell kastanov Oosthuizen vlasov jack even froch,and murray golovkin might come up and i would like to see martinez go for ward but that i doubt.

What?

I don't know about Ward, but Golovkin usually starts camp at 167.

I guess you haven't enjoyed a Ward fight since 2011 then.

I was referring in part to the build-up to the fight. The anticipation. I want to be intrigued. I wanna see fights where I'm unsure of the outcome.

Ward wasn't the favourite to win the super 6. Kessler was.

And close, competitive are more enjoyable than one -sided fights, doesn't mean I can't enjoy watching a one -sided fight.

the quote is as back as Nov 12, 2012:

"The next logical step, and one that Ward himself has said he plans to make, is to move up to the light heavyweight division. The only problem with that is he has already beaten the best fighter the division has to offer in lineal champion Chad Dawson."


Well, no problems now as the lineal champ is Stevenson...

I doubt that's true, he usually weighs 170 on fight night (about average for a middleweight). He probably weighs around 175 in-between training camps; he fights often though so he probably stays fit throughout.

Dawson and Rodríguez where mismatches. Both before and during the fights. The biggest anticipation of those fights, was to see the post fight compuclinch numbers.

Yea, thanks for proving my point - let's see ward move up...

Virgil Hunter is another pathological liar.

?b>By 32 years old, Andre Ward will be heavyweight champion of the world,?says the confident trainer (i.e. Hunter).
