Andre Ward gives up his WBC title instead of facing Anthony Dirrell

If Ward gives up the belt rather than fight Dirrel he's a fvcking duck just like Gamboa.

Anthony Dirrell was the WBC mandotory. Ward gave up his title to avoid him. Real champions dont give up belts to avoid a fighter. The WBC belt is a worthless trinket anyway, so what? Ward has just won the super six and gone through it unbeaten, so its pretty fair to say he can claim to be the best fighter at 168.

i think dirrell can give ward problems and i would like to see ward against another skilled boxer instead of another brawler.

ward destroys anthony what are you on about?

This is so sad, but very telling. This move by Ward tells me what Ive been telling you guys for about a year now. Anthony Drrell is the best SMW in the world. Speed,Power,Skill,Foot work,Defense,Heart and dedecation to the sport.Ward wants no part of Anthony Dirrell. He knows Anthony will ko him and ruin his rein at the top. http://www.************.com/2012/02/anthony-dirrell-ward-is-vacating-wbc-title-froch-is-on-the-menue/ Either that or they're besties...

I think ward beat him in the amateurs.

IMO Ward wins easy if they ever do face off!!!

Too right. ward sees to think he's some kind of superstar who can dictate, but that's not reality. first ward passed on bute, then he passes on dirrell's brother? and loses a title to boot? lost a lot of respect for ward if this is true thanks...i was freaking out for a moment :rofl::rofl:

edit- inorite? :lol1:

I was actually believing it till I read last couple of posts.

That bullsh*t website, comprised of the same writer under 50 names, fabricated the rumor, spread the rumor and both Ward and his promoter Dan Goossen denied it.

I don't expect to see Ward fight in the near future, for a boxer a broken hand can be a pretty big deal.

OP is a troll. This article is from February 19th, 2012 . Andre Ward already confirmed on this twitter that the rumors were false. thanks...i was freaking out for a moment

What was his reason?

Meh, easy to look great against the comp Dirrell has faced. No world beaters on that resume. Not an excuse for Ward, though. I would like to see this scratch. Just saying the absolutes of a k.o. victory over Ward are pretty fucking hyperbolic.

dont matter bute smashes all Anthony Dirrell will beat the living sh!t out of Bute.

I would love to see this fight. As far as no legit wins? If it's easy work then get rid of a prospect before he gets really good no? It can be a business move or a duck, i'm not interested in popular vs popular i'm interested in good fighter vs good fighter.
