Andre Ward Recovering, To Return in Early 2009

[dstew]

Wow. I didn't see that one coming. Glad to see that Ward will fight big fights in 2009. I was never really intersted in the Steve Forbes fight.

What Steve Forbes fight? Ward is at 168, Forbes should be at 147... I don't think they were ever going to fight...?

I seriously think he's ready for miranda. Andre has not really been tested sure but Miranda is on the down slope of his career and didn't look too good against Abrams so if Miranda is willin to take a fight with Ward, Goosen Tutor should make it happen. HP Pavilion late 2008.

I'm sorry but Ward hasn't shown me much in his career. He has been moved very slowly and has injuries problems. I dont think hes ready for any big name fighters.

Following Andre Ward's career has been frustrating. Way too many pit stops, injuries and periods of inactivity. He was making some progress this year and then this happened.

hahaha- dude man is thinking of andre berto, not andre ward. berto is facing forbes cause hes afraid of collazo.

ward is another prospect, a super middleweight.

about the weight- i know his plight. its too far between 165 and 178, its hard to split the difference. i am going to have to fight am's at 178 cuz 165 is just to low- i have tried and can't get below 169, and that is with 4.2% body fat and exposed ribs. my ideal weight for fighting would be 170ish. if i were to go pro, i would fight super middle- especially with the weigh in being the day before and not the day of like in the amateurs. then, like ward, id come in to fight at about 175/178.... too bad im waaaaay off from having wards skills- what a beast!!!!

My mistake on Berto/Ward lol. I've never been impressed with Ward to tell you the truth. I think he has been over protected since the one fight when he was badly hurt. As for Berto, I think he'll fight Collazo next.

i agree ward is being brought up a little to slow but i heard he has a higher ranking than dirrel even though it appears to me dirrel is the better of the two and the legit switch hitter
