What is his problem? He is not the modern day Muhammad Ali, fighting for what is right. And he does not have the same sort of pulling power as Floyd Mayweather, Jr. He is incapable of forcing his way out of the contract. Is greed his sole motivation?
Truely I'd have to put Carl "The Cobra" Froch at #1 at 168 right now. If they were to fight any time soon on neutral ground I'd back Froch to turn him over. Froch vs. Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. for the vacant RING Magazine title? No doubt Ward is going to vanish from Boxrec before he fights again.
A waste of a promising career. By now he could have rematched Mikkel Kessler, rematched Froch, spanked JCC Jr., Sergio Martinez, and be lining up a unification fight with Gennady Golovkin. Stalling his own career like this, in his prime, is going to kill his legacy.
Boring in the ring and boring out of it.
I figured you could read, I was wrong. I said I wasn't a fan of Ward but I appreciate his quality and want to see him fight it out in a ring. You then replied saying I just like to talk sh*t about him because it makes me feel better, yet... I gave the guy a compliment. Defensive over a compliment, I won't reply to you again since you won't comprehend what I am saying anyway.
It was a backhanded complement and you know it.
Last I checked you replied to me.

I feel like I am one of the few people that actually likes Ward. He is going through some rough times, but I hope he puts it all in the past now and gets back to boxing. GGG is starting to become a bigger name. It would be nice to see Ward to get back in the ring and build his name more. Down the road, a Ward vs GGG PPV bout, would be awesome.
The only black guy you don't support is the lightest skinned one, go figure. I also know BHop is black I'm not sure why I needed that to be clarified. I could care less who you support, but I didn't even say anything bad about Ward, I said I wasn't a fan but still want to see him fight in the ring not a courtroom and got your panties in a bunch.

Thurman's black you don't see me defending him. BHop is black too. Mares is Mexican and I support him. Nonito is philipino I support him as well. Danny Garcia is Puerto Rican. Stop pretending you know me.

He just needs to knuckle down and get himself back into the ring. And he would reclaim what was rightfully his, but if he doesn't do that soon then he would fade a way quick.
Personally, I think anyone who says anything negative about a black guy makes you mad. Go loot some liquor store in Ferguson instead of posting.

Personally I think you guys get off on bad mouthing him to make your selfs feel good.

A lot of people don't like Floyd either, but they still want to see him fight. You can not like a guy and appreciate their craft. I can't stand Tom Brady not only because he is a Patriot (I'm a Dolphins fan) but he has that rich white guy attitude even when you hear him talk to his guys on the bench. I still enjoy watching him play because the guy has skills. Andre is boring to watch and really I don't like anything he does in or out of the ring but he is good boxer and I like seeing guys test themselves in the ring, not in court.

If there's one truth about Professional Boxing at the highest level, it's that inactivity kills careers.
Not Ward's, hehas plenty of times yet. We will see. :)
But again, not specially to you but usually: If you don't like the guy, than be happy withthe fact that he has legal issuesand heis inactive otherwise if he would be active that would be worse and more anoying for you because he would continue to beat the people who you claim to beat him. So stop the hate and enjoy his inactivity till it lasts after that it will be just worse for you.
IMO someone was whispering in his ear how much more money and exposure he could get if he worked with haymo. That's probably why we've seen him visiting the Mayweather gym. This cause him to get greedy and want what Floyd has.
Ward will down in history as one of the best if not the best middle weight lineal champion.
He needs to stay humble. There's no need to chase the dragon.
Still don't understand why the Ward haters care so much about Ward's legal issues with Goossen. You should be happy aren't you? Instead of your hate towar Ward is even bigger because he has legal issues. If you don't like him anyways why the fuck you botherd by his legal issues? You hope that if he wouldn't be inactive someone would beat him or what? Because I don't think so. And even if he doesn't fight before 2015 he is 30 years old, and because his style (not based just on speed and reflexes, take less damage) his carreer probably will lasts long enough for that at the end of it nobody will remember these inactive years or at least nobody will mention it as an important thing in his carreer. Even with this lawsuit he has probably 4-5 years if not more left in the sport. So even if I disappointed that one of my favourite fighters is so inactive I will continue to back him up and I still think that after this mess he will continue to rule his division and/or the 175 division. I don't see anybody now around his weight who could beat him.
And on Froch... Froch is a big warrior, tho I don't like his persona, he has all of my respect because his carreer and willing power but he is simple not as good as Ward, Ward is a better boxer, plain and simple, he also proved that on their fight years ago.
You guys don't like Ward anyway so why do you guys care if he sits on the shelf his whole career?

What was hilarious to me was how he once called out Chavez Jr, and then when he found out Froch wanted to fight Chavez Jr. he said he was looking to go the easy route.
Did he really? It's because Ward doesn't fight outside of the US in fear he will be DQ'd
He is clearly lacking in confidence in his ability to win abroad.
