Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Neither Froch or Groves Want To Face Me

[Shambrolic]

Ward is in the position Floyd was in before he became a mega star. It's a guarantee'd lost once you agreed to fight him and the L was going to be a hard one where you can possibly lose your name viability economically. So guess what? Any fighter with a name is going to duck you.. The sad thing is all these boxing fans are going to give them an excuse to which shows that they favor certain fighters.

I never want to hear about anyone ducking come out of Pacquaio, GGG, Froch, and Mikey Garcia fans lips.

Man what a liar Ward is. That is straight out the Wladimir Klitschko guide to bluster and bull****. 'I offered this guy a fight, I offered that guy a fight......they don't want to fight me'

As for the travel argument, true champions are not afraid to fight away from home.

[diarraisagod]

This travel crap makes me laugh! Why should Ward travel? None of his fights have been close by any margin. He dominates everyone and the only reason for him to travel is for a Home town decision ala Froch Dirrell.

The city of Oakland is a sewer and if Andre wants to bring some money to the city, whats wrong with that? Froch is the king of "Gifts" with fights being stopped for no apparent reason, or wide decisions being given in fights his face says he lost. No wonder he wants to fight in Nottingham!

and all these idiots yelling for him to go to 175........Why? for one fight! Kovalev is the only fight available.......then what? Hopkins wont fight him! Super girl is running from the Russian so I know he wont fight Ward. You have Chavez going to 168, eventually GGG, and some other up and comers. 175 has always ****** and will for the foreseeable future.

Or you could ask why did Kessler give Ward his shot in Oakland? Where he got away with fouling the hell out of Kessler. He had done nothing to deserve home field advantage as the challenger.

I'm fine with him staying in Oakland, he can send your local tv viewers to sleep fighting nobodies for all I care. He can't ***** and whine that nobody will fight him though if he can't ever compromise in negotiations. Froch is a bigger draw, it's something Ward is going to have to learn to live with and recognise it means he doesn't get to call all the shots, all the time.

Hmmm...Froch and Kessler both lost to Ward but still made much more than Ward in their rematch.

I'm not going to look for the post to quote it...but one of those Floyd fk boy fans just said some funny sht lol.

He said something along the lines of Ward is being ducked the same way that Floyd was ducked before he got big lol.

Ward has no appeal and has diva demands...Floyd was never like that until he beat Oscar. Floyd agreed to go to AC to fight Gatti...and fight Oscar under Oscar's terms...

Ward is telling guys from 160 to come to 168...telling guys at 175 to come to 168...telling guys at 168 to come to Cali to fight in front of small crowds lol...

Do you Floyd-Ward worshipers live in a bubble or what?

[Snake4380]

I swear, every time, I read a post from one of these Floyd-worshipers or Ward-shipers...I think of a Michael Sam type dude or like some fat stinky Biggie looking mofo or the dude from Wedding Crashers who made the painting for Vince Vaughn...

Here's my prediction...Kovalev will be to Ward like Pacquiao has been to Mayweather...

Pacquiao didn't even have to fight Mayweather and he's already ruined Mayweather's legacy...no one will ever take Floyd serious for being a top-5 all time great because he ducked Pacquiao...Ward is going down that same path..and he doesn't have Floyd's personality nor does he have Floyd's excitement factor in the ring...which is pretty bad because Floyd isn't that exciting unless he's fighting a real opponent who has guts..like Jose Luis Castillo, Maidana not like Sugar in his Tank Shane Mosley or Canelo

your first paragraph is straight booty, so no need to address it.

Your second paragraph is more booty, your ''prediction''? man stfu, no need to address it.

Let's see your third paragraph, how did Floyd duck Pacquiao..remember the ''outdoor stadium'' excuse, yeah I bet you forgot, if that's not ducking on Pacquiao's part than I don't know what is..and then you belittle a warrior like Mosley saying he has ''sugar in his tank" when nobody has been able to stop or even seriously hurt him, no matter how old he is, so show more respect, and if Mosley was such a worthless opponent when Floyd beat him, then he was way more on the decline when Pacquiao beat him coming off a draw to Sergio Mora, Floyd beat him coming off his great victory over Margarito. Floyd's win over Shane > Pacquiao's win over Shane...

Ward cleaned out his whole division, losing at most 3 rounds in the process and you don't respect him? he is the most feared man in boxing hands down, ask triple GGGay.

[l1ght]

Froch doesn't wanna fight Ward? Groves doesn't wanna fight Ward? Total bull****. For starters Froch's ego is so gigantic that he wont stop going on about getting a rematch with Ward until he gets one. As for Groves I refuse to believe that someone in his position who hasn't had many world title fights and believes in himself as much as he does would turn it down. The problem Ward has is that Froch/Groves have created such a massive buzz and storm that he isn't the centre of attention anymore but once the British duel is done and dusted Ward will for sure be back in the picture.

[parrish duke]

1st myth that Ward only fights in Oakland - go on boxrec and see how many fights Froch has had in his home town? Teams need to learn how to negotiate, how is anyone on here going to get mad at non of your business?
2) its funny when it concerns top guys people get very emotional - what diva demands? They cant be worst than Cotto, who wants his name top bill, ring walk last, etc.. against the champ, and cotto has lost his last 2 out of 3 fights Get off the monkey see monkey do hate wagon, did Wards last opponent deserve 1million?

Is GGG even mentioning Ward, dude and his team are going every which way but Ward -

[alembic]

Son Of Grab is not a ppv fighter

You on it. I lost interest in Ward after his clutch-fest against Kessler. I suspect I wasn't the only one.
