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

[about.thousands]

He's telling the truth but he's coming off as a whiner. Just shut up and fight. That's how you silence the critics.

"Supposedly" being the operative word.

There's no way HBO want Ward anywhere near Golovkin. And neither do Team GGG.



As much as I'd love to see Ward-DeGale, politics will now likely prevent it due to Haymon and Roc Nation not doing business together. Same goes for Badou Jack. Ward already beat Abraham who wouldn't leave Germany for that fight anyway.

Ward's only big fight left at 168 was if GGG strapped on a pair and eventually moved up. Unfortunately they showed no signs of doing that and have robbed the boxing fans of a potentially great fight.

So you're telling me that actually Ward was the one trying to pressure GGG into moving up because Ward wasnt even responding or trying to negotiate when K2 offered to meet in the middle which would have been fair to both men. Did Ward make a counteroffer, hey lets do 166 and I take 45%?

Did he even say one word?

Did he not say "No no, my shoulder bla bla" when being asked by HBO if he is ready to face GGG while GGG said "Yes i am ready"?

Did he not openly lie to the public when he said oh we sent GGG the offer before we even knew about the Lemieux fight?

You are actually admitting that no one pressures Ward to move up, you're telling that boxing politics, the beef between Haymon and Roc Nation prevents the DeGale fight? So it is actually Wards own team who prevents Ward to fight a legit 168 champ?

And Ward is trying to turn it around and says "they are pressuring me". What a blatant liar this fool is. Pathetic.

Earlier this week, soon to be light heavyweight contender Andre Ward (28-0, 15KOs) officially withdrew from a scheduled slot as the co-featured attraction to the Miguel Cotto vs. Saul Alvarez HBO Pay-Per-View undercard. Ward suffered a knee injury during training camp.

Ward is regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport, but his inactivity is killing his momentum. He last fought June, where he stopped overmatched Paul Smith - and it was Ward's first bout since the fall of 2013.

Ward, STFU. You are a has been who wasted his career pretending he was Floyd Mayweather. You are too big to make 168 but claim you needed a million tuneups to fight Kovalev and those "tuneups" were weak competition from the 168 division. Face it, the world now sees you for what you have always been.......a bully.

LOL....Ward was the only one who sent an official offer which Team GGG refused to negotiate on. They just rejected it and said "maybe in 2017"

They put out that 164 nonsense to the media. Which is basically saying "We don't want the fight".

It works both ways, Haymon won't work with Roc Nation and vice versa.

GGG was the only big fight left at 168 with no promotional roadblocks for Ward and Team GGG didn't want it so we move on.

I think Ward should have stayed with his people. He's been shelved and inactive too long. Fighting and making money is better than not fighting and making ****.

There was a time Ward was my pfp number 1. He did mop the floor with the entire 168lb division, save for Bute. He can possibly do it with 175. Time will tell.

There was no competition left at 168, he cleaned it out, you had to move up???

With Kovalev n Stevenson at 175, why not any of those match ups would be a super fight???

stevenson is not likely to happen.


kovalev's people have indicated that his schedule is booked until late 2016, when they'll target andre ward.

ward's people have been in taks with kovalev's for months, and are also targeting a ppv in late 2016.


i'll post a link, but get ready for a bunch of dudes with bleeding vaginas to catch feelings.
