Andre Ward is a great fighter

He is a great fighter. Some people just love to hate. To put so much time and anger into hating a boxer, or any sportsman, says way more about the individual doing the hating.

He needs a convincing win against Kov this time around and beat Stevenson. Beat Joe Smith for good measure I know if he does beat them the nay sayers will say that he already had lost and Stevenson was old. That's the spririt, if he pass through the krusher, he must add the Lineal belt to his current collection, to become the Undisputed King of the LHW division. All mandatories will have to fight for one single murged title. Kovalev nor Ward shouldn't Duck that opportunity; Like you said: Stevenson is an old man. http://img.pixady.com/2017/06/752490_img20170605223759.jpg

Undoubtedly. I thought Kov beat him but his resume and skills speak for themselves. Like most greats , people won't truly acknowledge how good he was until he retires.

To me he's done exactly what a p4p fighter should do. Clear put your division, move up, and fight the best. Yet the usual suspects **** on him every chance they get when he's done nothing but represent this sport magnificently.

He's no where near Mayweather.

... Ward is a highly intelligent and an extremely gifted athlete (NB: I didn't say "boxer")... Unfortunately for him, Hunter (who trains him from childhood) didn't advise him to undertake a right shoulder surgery early -- hence, Ward never developed a proper "right hand" and was forced into an inverted southpaw stance... https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1473&pictureid=14081 I didn't know that, good info

I rate him but he isn't better than Mayweather nor did he beat Kovalev in my eye. This^^^^^. He's very skilled but not to the level of Mayweather.

Ward gets hated on bc he isn't flashy or a ko artist. He boxes for decisions. He wins decisions. Haters can hate all they want but their fav fighters won't get a decision against him, not bc he bought off refs but bc he is a classically trained elite level boxer.

and has no idea about prize fighting. Dude, this is a really, really absurd statement. Andre Ward has lived and breathed the sport of boxing since he was literally a child. Can you go ahead and quantify the credentials you have when it comes to the sport of boxing to be able to validate such a statement? Andre Ward is a two weight world champion, a perennial mainstay on the pound for pound list, between 2009 and 2015 held the unified WBA and WBC and was recognized by just about any and everyone as the world's undisputed top Super Middleweight; since 2015 has held the unified WBA, IBF, and WBO Light Heavyweight titles, won the Olympic Gold in 2004...but he don't know sh*t about being a prize fighter?!? What the f**k??

Undisputed Champion I know he beat kovalev y'all will never get over it ward will cement his legacy after the fight Humm! To ciment his legacy, he must become Undisputed in his division, which is simple. Just One single fight against Stevenson. Look, if SOG Ward is the best, he shouldn't duck; Right!... http://img.pixady.com/2017/06/752490_img20170605223759.jpg

He's good and has the ability to adjust to any style and make it tough for them win or lose in fantasy fights. At the end of the day, he is boring, and has no idea about prize fighting. Floyd was boring to casuals but not even close to how boring ward is, even to diehards lmao. Floyd knows entertainment and knows how to sell himself. And is actually really flashy even at the late stage of his career. Pound for pound Floyd beats ward.

If Ward can beat Kov and Adonis this year then move up and get a CW title, I dont think anyone can deny his greatness. I think if he unified CW too, thered definitely be an argument hes better than Floyd. If he were to jump from LHW to HW and win a title than I think thered be a lot more yays than nays. Fight at CW and HW?????????? LMAO.....sure.

coWARD got a gift because with Mayweather retired, we need a domestic star that fans can relate to so the powers that be are treating him like he's Mayweather. He's not Mayweather and you can't fabricate stars. You can doctor up certain things by having refs that will allow you to cheat and paying off judges to rip the opponent off but they will eventually get exposed as fabrications. coWARD is a fabrication, but he's America's "darling" for some reason. He can't sell crap for tickets, he's got a piss poor entitled attitude and he deserved to lose the last time out. Is he a good fighter, sure he is but is he as great as the media makes him out to be? Not by a long shot. You hold him to the same rules as other boxers, as the rules of the sport dictate, he'd have been dq'd 3 or 4 times by now. https://cdn.meme.am/cache/instances/folder728/400x400/73456728.jpg

Undisputed Championship If Ward can beat Kov and Adonis this year then move up and get a CW title, I dont think anyone can deny his greatness.

Winning the Undisputed championship is the only way to confirm a fighter supremacy. http://img.pixady.com/2017/06/752490_img20170605223759.jpg

I agree he's a great fighter, but not better than Mayweather. Absolutely not.

Ward is great and he is the new tbe but there aint nothing like the orignal tbe.

I'm just saying the truth any real boxing fan knows that Andre ward is beyond good the dude doesnt get the credit he deserves and it's sad.
