Andre Ward came back to boxing to get a quicky money grab. He was done after the super 6. TRUST ME! I am a andre ward fan and I am not placing nothing on him. Big mistake!!!!!! Remember I warned you
wards 2nd best based on what? paul smith, barrera, and brand? how is he even ranked in the top 10? cause his name is andre ward oh ok
You've got to be one of the most obsessed Ward fans around. I see you in just about every Ward thread with the same shtick. How you convince yourself that Ward is a bad fighter is beyond me. The respect he receives from his peers should tell you all you need to know...... do you know something the king of the division (Kov) doesn't?
In a year's time (or sooner depending on what fights happen), certain accounts here will post things that get them booted from the site, only for 'LeoRein', and others, to pop as "new accounts that were just watching for a bit".
not a new game
Ahhhh gotcha. I wasn't sure if you were referring to me or were talking about them. :fing02:
Ward about to go 4 tough Rds with Kovolev and then turn Sergei into a sparring partner..
This will look like crawford-postal after 6 rds... Ward turning kovolev into a sparring partner in the 2nd half of the fight
Eh...??? Care to elaborate?

Every time a new big fight is coming along, we have a new alt every week. :pat:
It's real pathetic. Especially since his detractors like to remind people he has no fans. He has fans enough where people are creating alts just to talk about him. Sad
Isn't ward a poor mans BH? I think kovakevs fight with BH ius good prep four ward
Not at all. As a lot of people have said before he is a hybrid of a few fighters. The first thing I would say is he is a converted southpaw which makes him balanced totally differently to B-hop. He also carries more natural speed in his hands, feet, movement in general. I would say Bernard is a better puncher and a touch better defensively.
They are comparable but only if you compare Bernard from his mid to late 30's to Ward, anything after that and Ward is the superior fighter as B-hop drops out of his prime so not a fair comparison.

He was giving his opinion, not critiquing the ranking, or the ranking system.
It's not a new thing for a fighter to go up a weight division and immediately be considered the best fighter or one of the best fighters in that division without even having a fight at that weight, its just conjecture or opinion.
In Ward's case he has had a pretty solid fight in Barrera and two soft touches but I think I can confidently say that most people would put him at least top 3.
I don't think it's a money grab. I pick Kovalev to win by KO because I believe in Kovalev's fighting skills and power and think he is the best 175 pounder in the world with Ward being the 2nd best at that weight.

the sergi fight is the most he could make. HBO would not sign him and pay him the big money for tuneups. he HAD to fight sergi otherwise no deal only a ward jock sniffer does not know that
1) A "cash grab" is not taking a fight that is leagues more difficult than anything else you could be doing, for marginally more pay. Cash grabbing is fighting easier guys with big fanbases. Kov fighting Pascal for the 2nd time was a cash grab (not bashing Kov, just educating you on the terminology).
2) Ward could have easily gone with other options but chose HBO and specifically said he wanted to fight Kovalev when he did it. Show/PBC would have really set him fat with plenty of easy fights at 175 and an eventual Stevenson showdown in a couple years. Easy fights, good money. But, he wanted to go to the top. Took 1 year to acclimate to the weight class and is fighting the best in a month.
That's the last reply you get from me because you keep hiding from the facts like light on a roach.
Man i dont even like Ward but guys are really hating on the guy.... he had 0 good fights left in 168 (and probably had hard time making it as well) but when he went to 175 he went all in , he went for THE man , i dont care about reasons , i dont care about execuses , he went for the best in the division and one of the P4P best , and he SHOULD get your respect , too much pointless hating , would he fight for the same money against a C level fighter ? sure but name me 1 , just 1 guy in boxing who wouldnt do it , stop hating and give Ward his due , pepole didnt believe he is going to sign the contract and now they are blaming him for signing it cuz he didnt have a choice ? give me a f****king break ......
Amazing fight , hope it will be a close one and Kovalev KO ward in the later rounds.
Do I really need to hold your hand and explain this?
Why said "fight for free"? The discussion was about max profit. This is a high risk fight, not a cash grab.
Ordered by HBO? He intentionally signed with HBO and expressed his interest in fighting Kovalev WHEN he signed with HBO.
Do you even believe half the stuff you say or are you just hoping other people believe it?

so mental ward is fighting for free?? he was ordered by HBO to have that fight

That's not nearly as funny as a brown skinned white supremacist... like yourself.
do not know where you got that from. crack takes an enormous toll on brain cells. I don't even think a brown white?? supremacist exists
