Dudes very respectful and classy
He usually takes the high road and tries to be PC
I thank its time he embrace the roll as heel
When he does trash talk ita usually involving facts and he is articulate
Take it out on your detractors in the ring and laugh all the way to the bank like Floyd did
Everyone is not gonna get embraced like Leonard, beloved like Gatti or respected like McCallum
That good guy role has reached its expiration date.
He is funny, factual and can back it up . .look @ his resume
Since people love bringing up Floyd as a comparison for some reason, that man left no doubts in his questionable decisions. He rematched his opponents and beat them convincingly. He didn't prance around moaning about this and that, especially since Ward signed the damn rematch clause.
Fulfill your obligation, beat your opponent convincingly THEN you have green light to talk. Right now, he's not playing a heel. He's playing a little b1tch.
Yes indeed, Ward is Mr. Wonderful. He is the perfect man.He is very respectful and classy. He always takes the high road. He is funny, factual and articulate. He has the greatest resume. He is everything that is good and noble in mankind. He can do no wrong. He does everything right. He is the Son of God.
I've had my spells...don't let this crap push you away from the sport you love
Oh that will never happen. Ill pull back from being immersed in keeping up with every single thing that happens every day from time to time but i always keep up with who is fighting who and when. Im kind of bummed im not going to get to see Bellew get decapitated saturday because ill be at work. I dont have anything against Bellew but lets be honest thats why this fight was made, its a public blood letting.
Thats a good way to put it, they were beside themselves. They both need to get over what ever petty **** they have going on and make the fcking fight. I honestly regret keeping up with boxing to the extent I do. I wouldnt hear about all this shit that makes me, dislike is to strong a word for either one of these guys, frustration would be closer to the mark. Back in the day I would look at the paper and see if there was a fight or buy the Ring or Boxing Illustrated and see what was coming up. I think to some extent there is too much coverage these days, familiarity breeds contempt.

Kov never lost...understandable and it was wards first disputed pro fight and he had the deck stacked so he's playing hard ball this time
I feel you bro

What Im saying is that there is reason to question Ward at this time. Im not saying they should fight this month but I dont think its out of line to expect some kind of negotiations to begin by now.Its a fight that needs to happen and Ward is acting childish. Nobody but the people trolling are saying anything about all that shit you said. I understand the fight more than likely is going to happen, it needs to happen sooner rather than later.
I will add Kovalev went a little retard as well but he was the one on the short end of the stick in a very close fight. Ward should be chomping at the bit to clear any doubt.

I dunno, I always respected Ward for not giving in. He's had to know his whole career hate makes more money for minorities.
Mendoza started it in like the 1790s I reckon. Promoting his jewishness in England during an anti semitic era.
On one side I've a lot of respect for Mendoza manipulating the mindless hate into making him richer, but on the other hand I feel like he danced his jew dance for the hateful man no different than a monkey on a leash.
I won't hate if he did, but I certainly respect how he conducts himself presently.
Great....great post
Mendoza was a friggin legend and one of the GodFathers of modern boxing
I respect ward for not giving in but after 12 years as a pro a chance wouldn't hurt....he is respected not beloved so he can capitalize on those who want him to lose by cashing in
The fights gonna happen...it was less than 4 months people acting like it was a year ago lol
He was suppose to pull out, fake an injury, ask for 5 more tune ups, etc the first time....guess they forgot they said that mess the first time, andrea ward.......Co-ward lol

You are wrong about that. I thought he lost (by a round and the point from the knockdown) and all I was hoping for was a good scrap which it was. Ive always respected Andres skills and for moving up to challenge Kovalev. That said he is acting like a spoiled brat, Floyd would have already made the rematch if there was doubt. I mean, if it was you would you want to erase doubt or posture like a woman and talk about who has control.
By the way, I dont call it a gift or a robbery. Im not mad at anyone who calls it either way but he needs to honor the rematch clause and get back in the ring.

Only people saying gift or robbery are those who wanted to see him lose
That record is past broke bro....
Floyd had hall of fame resume by 2007 n still went another decade being called or coward, diva, this and that....since his career is over people have to come to grips that he was the best

Not really because Floyd has a legacy and ward wil be remembered with the gift.

Ward is way to corny to try and play heel.
And this is coming from an Oakland resident who really wants to support him, but at this stage just wants him to STFU and make good fights.
I don't care who's winning the negotiations, I don't care if you're upset that the media (correctly) reports that you lost, I don't want to hear any whining about lack of respect from HBO, etc etc.
Ive heard too much of that already, it was boring the first dozen times and its still boring.
Schedule the rematch -- or hell, fight any good LWH (not Brand or Barrere), and I'll watch. Otherwise, zzzzzzzz.
Wouldn't be the first corny fighter to play heel ijs
