Andre Ward said in 2012 he'd fight anyone at 168 or 175

[Hougigo]

2012 this, 2012 that, in 2013 Team Golovkin said they'd fight anyone from '54 to '68, but not in 2014 since MW opponents are stepping up but Ward keeps bringing it up (while of course not fighting anybody).

So fcuk him, he can have his own hypocritical words thrown back at him.

Well,it's been 1 year compared to 2... so next year it won't mean anything

Confused as to what people are saying or what they "THINK" they exposed.

Back in 2012 most of you had no clue who Kovalev or Stevenson was in 2012, if I am not mistaken Chad Dawson was the man at 175 in 2012 after coming back from his loss against Pascal he beat B-Hop in 2012 then issuing the challenge to Ward and offering to go down to 168 which was ******. So yeah technically he did end up fighting the best guy at 175 at the time

The Top Guys at 175 in 2012 Was:

Chad Dawson
Benard Hopkins
Jean Pascal
Tavoris Cloud
and Gabriel Campillo
Nathan Cleverly was also getting a lot of hype then

Technically at the time those could have been big fights for him.

And he still only fought one of those guys mentioned and he did so by absolutely draining him. Dawson threw 182 punches in that fight. Says it all.

It's getting difficult, but I hold firm on my position as a Ward fan. Whoever he fights, he'll beat.

2012 This 2012 That? But the Topic is about what he said in 2012 is it not? so don't try to brush it off now because I came back with WTF was really going in 2012

Back in 2012 Dawson, Pascal, Cloud and even Cleverly would have been worth moving up for because the Division was hot at the time. B-Hop jumped up and and beat Pascal after Pascal beat Dawson, then he beat Cloud, Dawson came back and beat B-Hop then Challenged Ward and eventually fought him.

So explain to me again who he is suppose to move up for after he beat Dawson? Because the Buzz for Kovalev and Stevenson did not start until last year to be honest, after Kovalev Knocked Out Campillo and Stevenson Knocked Out Dawson. So yes he did probably blow off Stevenson Challenge of one fight in Oakland at 168 and one fight in Canada at 175 because at that time, Stevenson wasn't even known by most of you on this forum.

He will get to 175 eventually, some of you act as if he is getting ready to retire without fighting at 175

That is Dawson dumb ass fault for not only issuing the challenge but also agreeing to come down to 168.

Ward will get to 175 when he is ready, who is worth moving up for right now? Kovalev? Really? The Hype for Kovalev just started last year, if he beats Kovalev now THEN WHAT? B-HOP already made it clear he won't fight Ward and they won't fight each other. Stevenson is with Haymon on Showtime and so is Pascal so after that he would be back in the same situation he is in now and then people like you will be saying "HE SHOULD MOVE UP TO CRUISERWEIGHT!"

[Bigg Rigg]

He has not ducked anyone..he has been injured and now has promotional issues..how can you duck someone when you dont fight..since 2012 he has fought 2 times

Guess all the GGG is ducking him crap ends now huh??? I mean, u can't duck a guy who doesn't fight right???? Lol

SOunds like a bunch of excuses from you. You must be related to Ward.

IMO Ward beats every fighter 200 lbs. down.

Yes.

Dawson requested a catch weight, but Ward refused, holding Dawson to what he said in the heat of the moment in his Kellerman interview after a fight.

He has no one left to fight at 168, now is the time to do it. We all know what's happening, he's avoiding the move up just like he did back then.

If he wants to stay at 168 fair enough, but he shouldn't lie about there being nothing at 175 because the truth is there is nothing at 168.

IMO Ward beats every fighter 200 lbs. down.

He doesn't even back himself at LHW, now he's beating cruisers?
