Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Rules Out Fights at 168: '175 is Not Easy To Make'

[Ake-Dawg]

Based on the fact before he even said he was moving up he had to fight at 172. Yea, based on fact he couldn't get down to 164 for GGG, but 160 for Floyd. Sure.

Based on multiple reports at the time.

Based on fact Ward didn't want the fight to be until fall of 2016. Umm, um you know, November.

Based on the fact he now says he struggles to even make 175.

What's pathetic is Ward fights. 12 rounds with Brand. Whoop, impressive.

Ward says it's not easy to make 175 today. But he didn't want GGG until this fall.

So we're supposed to believe he could make 168 this fall, but struggles at 175 now.

So what he'd do, put 20 pounds on?

Right, he wasn't ever gonna fight GGG. He was trying to save Cotto from his mandatory. Roc!

1. The fight was never proposed for fall 2016.
2. He made a decision to fight at 175 instead of 168. Purposely put on muscle.
3. 1st fight after layoff was at 172 so a) the fight could be made quickly and b) to ease back into things after a long layoff. Note Mikey Garcia did the same thing. Floyd Mayweather did as well...he just blew off the weight for the fight.
4. How the hell is his 160 statement any different from Golovkin 154 statement?

You seem to be trying to stitch together statements that were made years apart to make an argument. Why? Not like Loeffler didn't say maybe 2017. You guys come up with ridiculous arguments to discredit Ward. For what purpose? It doesn't make Golovkin's resume better. It won't change anyone's place in history.

He even admitted that he couldn't make 168 which is why his comeback fight was at 172. Crappy timing.

Did he say he couldn't make 168 last year? Did he say he can't make 168 anymore based on a question last night regarding if he would go back to 168? Yes. Huge difference buddy. He said once he committed to 175 he wasn't going back down. Not sure what you're clamoring about. Be a damn boxing fan instead of a Golovkin troll. Stop trying to make other fighters look bad to promote the one you like. That's child's play!

Lil Gina fans have so much hatred for Ward since he exposed their god as a chicken shit.

He couldn't make 168 last year without stressing his body, he couldn't make it and be optimal anymore. It's come out of his own mouth but watch the spin. At least he admitted it let's see the spin continue though. I think Andre knows his body better than the people on NSB.

He wasn't talking about last year. He's talking about right now.

Why as you trying to spin it?

[MaksBox]

What I found interesting is the reminder that Ward fought in the 178 division in the olympics. 168 just may be totally out of reach for Ward right now.

Why would I need to spin it you and countless others won't accept the fact this man can't make 168. Has nothing to do with Golovkin either (which I know is going to be your automatic/default argument). Considering how weak 168 has been since the super six if he could make 168 he would've gotten a strap and moved up with it while commanding even more money. I have made this argument since the first rumblings of him going to LHW surfaced. I respect Andre but lets be really real after all that time on the sidelines there was no way in hell he was getting down to 168 without a huge sacrifice.

hahahah

suuuuuuure it aint LMAO

you guys are fkn disgraceful

it is plainly obvious that Ward will never fight at 168 again

it is plainly obvious that fight was off the table when Ward moved to 175

he just spent TWO full camps adapting to 175

that fight will never happen

you can sleep well tonight

knowing that fight will never happen..... I fully expect lil'G - and the rest of Team Bull**** - to start mentioning Ward in the very near future LMAO

Ggg net worth 25mil.
Ward net worth 2mil.
Who needs who?
Ward can't sell out his home town arena. The fight game is still about money.
