Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: They Pressure Me To Move Up, Not Others

[cupocity303]

I don't know how many times this lie will be told. Dawson offered the weight, and signed the contract after the catchweight was denied. If he didn't want to fight at 168, no one would have blamed him, but he went there of his own volition anyway.

Where exactly is the lie? I never said that it wasn't Dawson's fault for making that offer. We are talking about what Ward has done.

He fought a reigning Light-Heavyweight Champion at 168. All he had to do is VOLUNTARILY agree to a catchweight of 169 (which would have been Light-heavyweight) and the fight would have been for Dawson's Title. Just one pound over 168, and he could've been a 2-division champ.

Point being that Ward has had it his way every time. A bigger man comes down in weight for him, and now he wants a smaller man to come up in weight for him ---while whining that he is being pressured to move up. When is it Ward's turn to start fighting outside of his comfort zone?

Just get back in the ring and fight. And if you don't want to do that, stop b*tching and become a commentator.

Yeah that was all Chad Dawson's idea.
Dawson who hadn't fought at 168 in 6 years, just thought of that right there on the spot, after the BHop fight.
lol

This guy is another Khan! Are they brothers?

This dude so delusional. What does he expect? he wants to fight bums the rest of his career and still be called p4p#1 and be offered top dollar aswell and still have all the fans give him a standing ovations with the baddest hoes throwing rose pedals at his feet where ever he walks?

lmfao dude is such a cry baby, basically what is saying is why they want me to fight tough fights.

what is your response when Rios loses his fight with Bradley?

The man has a point. We all know there's a double standard in boxing yet some pretend it doesn't exist.

Man, I can't stay quiet any longer on this: Ward, STFU and box. Seriously, just box, that's your job, it's how you get paid. You are turning into a whiny little b*tch, and it's a shame because you're truly talented. But I just want to see you box, not talk.

Ward is my dude but I have to agree with you on this one. Don't turn into a Khan.

So many negative comments.

But they forget ward has fought at 160, 168 and now is gonna fight at 175
