I see some people post extremly heated views about him like he killed someone,he is not a criminal,does not beat woman,is a family guy and is down to earth...now if you dont like his fighting style or is inactivity latley then fine...But i have been seeing down right hateful posts about the man as a person..WHY???
I don't think anyone hates him on a personal level, since none of us know him and as you say he's a family man. However, his fighting style is pretty dirty and, depending on who you ask, boring. Also, his court issues have made him look a bit of a diva.
Same reason as this.
I just can't watch him. I don't find Floyd Lara or Rigo boring but I can't stand Ward. Add that to how he fughts like once in a lifetime and screw him.
I cant watch Lara either outiside of the paul willams fight. And I love Rigo. But im liable to be bull****tlng on facebook watching a Ward fight lol
Boxingscene's resident one upper makes his appearance. You hear that you children? He's a grown man.
it is not difficult to provide a comprehensive education to a naive bscener. i am mostly objective about andre ward and about boxing in general. a dog loves a bone, but i genuinely try to keep my affinity for boxers out of my analysis of boxing.
you have to be naive to think that andre ward, a boxer who hasn't lost since he was 12 years old according to most sources, is frightened of sergey kovalev or gennady golovkin. you have to be equally naive to think that golovkin, not only a great amateur and undefeated pro, but the best puncher in boxing, is scared of anybody at or around 160 lbs. that includes andre ward.
it's children who talk about a fighter being scared of another man. training for 10-20 years and being massively successful in a 1 on 1 sport removes all doubt in one's abilities.
they clearly hadn't seen that dan rafael article, which can't be more clear that ward's people are in talks with kovalev's. that's a quick education.
expect that fight in late 2016, hopefully at a neutral location and at 175 lbs. it is the most significant fight in boxing. it will be evenly matched according to bookmakers, too.
I hate Andre Ward because he embrassed Mikkel Kessler and Carl Froch!
this is about 99% of it.
some blame should be put on andre ward for how he handled leaving goossen. goossen did a very good job with andre ward, and he didn't know a good thing when he saw it.
the rest is resentment for a guy for beating up their caucasian heroes, and being inactive with genuine injuries and kelly pavlik losing his mind and retiring.
your nievete is thinking that promotors work for boxers.
there's nothing i can do for somebody who looks at testimony that makes it explicit that talks have begun, and that both are targeting a 2016 ppv, and tells me, "Ward a coward doe!"
you guys are children. i'm a grown man. it is what it is.

Your naivete shows bro. You should scour the net for Ward's comments about the Kovalev fight. You won't see any. What people have read is he wants 3 tuneups first before fighting Kov.
your nievete is thinking that promotors work for boxers. most boxers don't even watch boxing. you've probablty never talked to a high level pro boxer in your life, and think they sit around on NSB, or are afraid of other boxers .
you don't understand the kind of confidence that would come with being undefeated in a 1 on 1 sport since you were 12. i don't expect you to, frankly.

Right: you'll not find one single word from Andre about Kovalev in the news...
"We had some very preliminary conversations," said David Itskowitch, who heads Roc Nation Sports’ boxing division. "We’re interested in that fight at some point. It’s only a matter of when."
... sure, sure mr. Itskowitch...
Anything that actually comes from Mr Ward's own mouth?
talk about how kovalev was never that good :lol1:
kovalev vs ward at 175 is the most significant fight in boxing.
it's abundantly clear that golovkin's people are looking to stay at 160 and avoid a fight with andre ward at all costs. expect ward - kovalev at 175 in the fall of next year. expect it to be on PPV, and expect the betting lines to look relatively even.
i'm favoring kovalev if ward can't get back into form with another tune up or so. if ward gets back to his 2012 form, or even better after his repaired shoulder and hands, i expect him to outpoint kovalev in a fight that will probably be close on the cards, and warrant a rematch.
bsceneres, who have no idea what a "robbery" in boxing is, will call this close fight a robbery, and we'll get to watch their vaginas bleed all over the place. it's gonna be gross! :lol1:
I completely agree.
You chose to have half naked men as your avi pic larry
Gtfo
And ward is boring and delusional
what?? its people with their shirts off...any boxing picture you have will look like that
I don't actively dislike him, but I find it hard to like him either. There's just nothing that likeable about the man. He has a boring personality, a boring style, hardly ever fights, hardly seems to fight anyone good anymore and has a lousy fanbase comprised of whiners and generally obnoxious individuals who seem fixated on putting down other boxers. Where am I supposed to engage there at any level?
Awesome post. Green k sent.

Yea i hate watching his fights....I gat that ugly Hopkins style. But he still the truth and deserves his P4p Rank
I just can't watch him. I don't find Floyd Lara or Rigo boring but I can't stand Ward. Add that to how he fughts like once in a lifetime and screw him.
Lmao these people can't help themselves man. Gotta throw floyds name in there somehow and reference a make believe list. Sh1t is insane around here
And your point? I brought dis ngga name up cuz he the last undisputed P4P king. And Ward has been the most dominate after him. However he wins those fight...hugging/headbutting whatever he beat everybody...not even close
Or is it hugging and headbutting?

Cuz they know he mite not ever lose and is too talented...He mite not been active be we all know deep down he was always P4P king after Floyd.
Or is it hugging and headbutting?
Also, the hugging and head butting is insane. He head butted the sh1t out of Kessler but wanted to cry when bika was head butting him more than he was head butting bika. Cmon man.
