Andre Ward is a FOTY candidate for ESPN's ESPY awards

Don't worry guys, if Floyd wins best male fighter, then it's like Adrien Broner won too since he's the closest thing to Floyd. So when people vote for Floyd, it's really like they're voting for Broner. Seriously though, ESPN is dumb and why is the most boring fighter to listen to (Andre Ward) even nominated? I'd be less dumbfounded if even Deontay Wilder was nominated.

congrats for that nomination. Finally someone from the bay other than Marshawn Lynch is getting Respect from espn. But I voted for Mayweather because he did more in 2013-2014

Only thing ESPN boxing is good for are schedules. Thats funny, cause ever since they got rid of their message boards I only go there to look at the boxing schedule.

Wow lol. I dont even think Ward himself believes he should be mentionned there this year. What a joke!

http://espn.go.com/espys/2014/ ESPN is so boxing savvy. What great knowledge of the sport, only true boxing fans would know Ward had one of the three best years last year after beating Edwin "Roy Jones III" Rodriguez. The whatever ethnicity he is Roy Jones Jr

Ward is a joke right now

Ward must have some friends at ESPN trying to get him some exposure.

Why not go Golovkin? He's fought more and Teddy Atlas is all about Golovkin. We all know Mayweather will win, but Ward is just strange for the third boxer on that list.

Is it because he is a black American and apparently HBO thinks that helps his case? I'm sure they are getting some money from HBO or Ward to even have him in the conversation, but this is just bullsh*t, I'm actually insulted as a boxing fan. I know popular fighters get a lot more exposure whether they are good or bad but Andre is not popular or even f*cking active. He's had what 2 fights in 4 years? The guy is a f*cking joke and a horrible announcer as well... he should just fight Tarver for the announcer role on HBO, I hope he loses too he sucks all the way around. ESPN and HBO have a corporate partnership since 2012/3. Maybe you have a point.

Meh. Mayweather and Pacquiao have won every award in history and will do so again.

Its as if they just looked at Dan's rankings and said-ooh he's a top p4p guy so he must have had a great year. This is ridiculous and shamefule even though the ESPY's don't matter.

:rofl::rofl::rofl: He's American and fights (commentates actually) on HBO. It's still surprising though. You could name at least one fighter in every division more deserving than him. And considering its more so a popularity contest, how is Ward even on that list?

Lol it's espn. Not like they're gonna pick some unknown guy like Garcia or kovalev

Seriously?! I checked and yes you are serious… There are so many other fighters that deserved that nomination. Whoever added him to the list should be ashamed of themselves. Don't get me wrong. Im not bashing the man, he has world class talent. But this is just not right.
