Ward was interviewed in the sky sports toe to toe podcast.. he basically accuses Froch of ducking him when Froch said he's insignificant in the sport and not a draw.. and then Ward goes on to duck and dive the issue of him traveling to UK for a massive Wembley fight cos we know he's a hometown hog and has been his whole career.. great fighter but a hometown hog no doubt.
Ward says "if i had to walk from boxing today it's not ideal but i'm secure in my legacy. i got a family and there's other things i enjoy outside of boxing. So unfortunately if this is it, it's it. i don't think it is but at the end of the day im secure in what i've put into the sport of boxing!"

See yah bye Ward,don't let the door hit your aSS on the way out,**** with all the free time you'll have you can leave Oakland for once and go on holiday or something
Ward just loves that home cooking,problem is he can't get dinner guests anymore and he will never eat out
he does love the home privileges, i would love to see him take the travel test for once.. why do other boxers do that but not ward? even tim bradley was brave enough to travel although he wasnt brave enough to face khan!!

Okay, let's try this. You have everything but stopping power over a guy. That guy has a cast iron chin. You fought him once and dominated the fight in your home country. Even though you COMPLETELY DOMINATED, two judges had it 115-113. People now want you to come to his home country where he recently got a bogus stoppage win one fight ago, in the land of early stoppages. You are the real champion. Do you really figure you would go? I don't blame him a bit.
Ward didn't completely dominate Froch, he did win the fight but it was nothing close to a domination. Jermain Taylor put on a better performance than Ward did against Froch until that 12th round. ward was in trouble at some points late in the fight, he was giving off George Groves vibes, and Froch was close to stopping him but he survived.
Froch was at a disadvantage because he had to travel to wards home country, had to deal with the time difference, jet lag, flight fatigue, home crowd etc.. Ward had home advantage as always but what happens when he's the one outside his comfort zone and has to deal with all that like Froch has on numerous occasions?

All the ingredients would be there for a criminal robbery of his title. If Froch wants it, he knows where it is. If he doesn't want it that's on him. Dude wants to parade around with his paper abc titles when Ward's the real champion that's fine. Go be a big fish in a small bowl. Domestic champion. Unified domestic champion. Earned the right to be the biggest fish in the biggest bowl and doesn't want to come get it because he knows he'd lose I guess. His prerogative. Then people will turn all of that around on Ward like he's not the champion. He's the only champion that matters at 168. Deal with it.
You call Froch a domestic champ, but Ward isn't? Dude never left his home country. He's the personification of domestic champ

:lol1: I knew you dudes would come quick. It's like you guys have Margo on quick search and pressing f5. But I'm glad you agree.
Well I already have a post here in this thread. I was just checking up on the thread and saw your comment.
And I'm never going to be as bad as you bro, you have your Google Now app alert you to new Cotto threads.
But its ok, im a closet Tony-Tard, you're an out in the open Cotto-Tard. We're practically brothers in arms
This is a rare, but I agree with el chicano here!
Margo >>>> Ward
I agree
Margo > Ward
Ward needs to step it up. His competition in three years has been Dawson, Rodriguez and Goosen. His legacy at this point is getting suspect

Ward right now is like a gun with no bullets...or a ferrari in your garage with no gas. So much skill potential and hes pissing it away.
No way he goes to the HOF.
