    Andre Ward, I am running out of patience

    This guy was supposed to be it the way hbo was hyping him. Yes he has fought guys with good records but guys that are nobodies with good records. This guy has been a pro for almost four years now and it seems like he is going nowhere. Good thing he is still young.

    Hasn't there been talk lately of him fighting Edison Miranda? If so, he might be in for more than he bargained for! Miranda is the type of guy that can put a career-ending ass whoopin on a young guy like Ward!

        Edison Miranda is NOT the guy he should be fighting this early. But, I guess if he wants the fast track to a title. Holyfield fought for a world title in his 12th pro fight, so it's definitely possible.

          if he does fight miranda I will have some respect for ward even if he loses. I don't like miranda all that much but he is an intimidating sob.

              Miranda is the one guy that Ward should not even think about fighting.

                Ward already turned down this fight. HBO wanted it, Ward did not. Smart guy!

                  i never expected ward to be brought along fast like mayweather, de la hoya, holyfield, vargas, etc...

                  but i'd like to see ward more active and against veterans with different styles. that's what they did with cotto. top rank took awhile before matching cotto up with elite contenders, but they gave him a nice mix of solid veterans with different styles. now cotto has more experience against different styles.

                  i would like 2 see ward matched up with different veterans with different styles that will help him improve. that's what you do with a prospect.

                  not everyone can jump out the gate and win titles so fast like mayweather or holyfield.

                    Goosen said they will have Ward fighting for title probably late 2008. He'll get in three good fights in before then and then win a belt. Andre is rising star of the super middleweights, he goin knock that dude out on shobox. It's a great card with Andre and Chris Arreola.
