The Curious Case of Andre Ward

He's boring and fights extremely dirty, it's his own fault his career is going down the drain.

Bute... Lmaooo. The same Bute that went life and death against a 12 fight Grachev? I really liked Bute, but Froch took his soul. Now if he comes out and beats Pascal in impressive fashion.... Yep but they say he's scared. The same Bute who should've lost to Andrade in the 1st fight. He's a good start at 175 though.

To be fair there's a difference between Rigondeaux and Ward. Sure, you can argue that both of them are boring, but Rigo had 11 wins, 8 by KO and was dropping his opponents all the time. Just look at Marroquin who was dropped 2 times I think, Kennedy 5 times and Ramos 2 times. Ward on the other hand has 1 KO victory in 3 or 4 years and it was against a drained Chad Dawson. So who's more boring? A guy who's been taking out guys recently or a guy who can't KO his opponents? And btw why the fuck you have to beat Ward to be the best at 175? Ward doesn't even want to fight at 175! When a fighter calls another fighter boring the traslation is basically= HE IS TOO SKILLED FOR ME!

Ward getting injured is a blessing for him actually as far as allowing new opponents to emerge in and around his Division so when he returns he will have plenty challenges available for him but what they may do is AVOID HIM and use the "HE IS NOT A DRAW" "HE IS BORING" excuse to avoid fighting him. Froch just used that excuses and would much rather pursue a more WINNABLE FIGHT by fighting Kessler for a 3rd Time. 168 or 175 You won't be considered the best at 168 or even 175 if you don't beat Ward Calling a fighter "BORING" is just a new way of DUCKING, when you don't want to fight a guy or don't want your favorite fighter to fight a guy because you know he can't win...you just call him "BORING". Remember Donaire and all his fans was calling Rigondeaux "BORING" and wanted to use that as a reason not to fight him?...They did that because he and his fans was NEVER CONFIDENT ABOUT THAT FIGHT! Same thing with Ward, some fans would rather him just go away instead of him embarrassing and schooling their favorite fighter. Froch know he can't beat Ward as does his Fans, Family, Promoter, Manager and Girl To be fair there's a difference between Rigondeaux and Ward.

ideally golovkin fights martinez while wards fights froch again, then the two can meet; depending on the outcomes of those two, ward can move up and try and conquer lh, I'd expect ggg to go back down to mw and reign for a sometime.

Froch know he can't beat Ward as does his Fans, Family, Promoter, Manager and Wife Great point. Its also pretty ironic when people call him boring because that's precisely what casual fans do. Real boxing fans look for substance. Ward is the top guy in those divisions no doubt. I think he beats everyone but yes I would like to see him fight them to remind people of his dominance. Froch's excuse for not fighting Ward is pathetic. Lost a lot of respect for him.

i don't really care about Ward, boring/dirty fighter. although effective.

Golovkin will be ready for another opponent..................... Golovkin should stay at 160. Geale-Barker winner this year and then Sergio next year. Ward vs. GGG is a good fight though but he would be small for 168 though. More like anyone there that he can beat. I'd like to see he and Bute fight at 175, as that would be a fair test for him since Bute himself is moving up from SMW like he would be. I think Ward will be fine at 175. He fought there in the Olympics. Bute would be the perfect opponent for Ward's first fight at 175. I'm just not sure that Bute gets by Pascal.

Ward isn't boring in my opinion but that's not even the point. Plus it seemed like he was trying to be more exciting and open up more against Dawson. More importantly, Ward was the king at 168. It's time for him to go to 175 and attempt to take it over. There's so much talent in the division. I want to know if there's anyone there that can beat him. More like anyone there that he can beat.

Ward is a boring fighter who ducked bute. Bute would've beat his ass. Hope ward retires I don't care for his fights. Scared of Bute? Bute would beat his ass? Lmao c'mon let be serious. From what I remember, Ward and Bute were negotiating to fight but Bute signed to fight Froch instead. Ward is the last guy that should be labeled a duck. If Bute can get past Pascal, the fight would make sense at 175.

Ward is boring! I know that i will get a lot of crap for this because obviously Boxing is Hit without getting hit etc but Boxing at the same time is entertainment and Ward is not entertaining. I am cool if Andre Ward retires and i never have to see him fight again. Bute/Pascal. Stevenson/Froch. Kovalev with either of them are guaranteed all action fights, who needs Ward. Btw the ssame goes with BHOP, just retire already! Ward isn't boring in my opinion but that's not even the point.
