Ward will come out of retirement in 2022 to fight Canelo after Canelo STOPS plant!
Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Shuts Down Rumors Of A Canelo Rivalry: We Don't Have Any History

This was primarily sparked by butt hurt canelo fans because when Ward was asked about canelo beating Kovalev, Ward rightfully stated that Kovalev was no longer the “Krusher” and clearly wasn’t the same fighter that he faced. Obviously he was saying the truth which bothered canelo fans. That combined with Ward helping Plant also has Canelo fans all worked up because god forbid anyone support the opponent of the man they idolize. It’s like religious fanatics believing someone is disrespecting the god that they pray to nightly.Comment

Ward would take the paycheck. Let's not act like csnelo wouldn't be his highest paycheck. I'm not even discussing who wins. That's not an argument doe me because I think it could go either way. I'd lean prime ward vs prime neloComment

You think Ward is going to come out of retirement at his age and fight Canelo? No, he isn't. There is no smoke to be had. If Ward attempted it, he'd be knocked out pretty easily.Comment

Euro's have superior resumes to those in North America. It's not even close either. North Americans have the worse resumes in boxing.Comment

Ward is one of the biggest cheats in boxing history. To claim otherwise, is another example of your extremist personality. You know, the same characteristics as the people you hate?Comment

Well done Andre Ward!! And of course true to form those very same internet, uninspired en****** are proving the man correct, what with the ignorant and lacking in Intelligence/ maturity comments being posted here.
The internet and YouTube in particular ALWAYS loses because at least 90 percent of the commentary posted there is steeped in bias, cultural bigotry, this new phenomenon called Fanboyism and plain core ignorance.
Ward not once in this article spoke negatively of Canelo. He accorded him the utmost professional courtesy and spoke like a true sportsman.
He kept it neutral and with the manner of professionalism you come to expect of the more elite competitors.
Unfortunately the same cannot be said of the so called" fans" today of the sport who just lack the proper maturity and Intellectual capability to assess a situation like previous generations minus emotional investment.
Ward is an undefeated former champion who beat the BEST of his day( won handily the Super 6 tournament)and fought Sergey Kovalev when the Russian power house was at his peak and won handily in their rematch. It wasn't low blows that did in Sergey. It was an high IQ fighter who gradually broke down his body, counterpunching with precision and caught a weakening Kovalev with a hummer of a nasty right counter that wobbled the Russian and put him on unsteady legs. Ward won the fight in the trenches in a good bout that exposed a VERY GOOD fighter in Kovalev who was vulnerable to body punches.
Canelo on the other hand chose to engage the old, weakening, end of the line version who was merely grateful for a big payday retirement package of sorts.
And NO, To say Ward Avoided Canelo is sheer ignorance at its core.
To the contrary It would seem the spotlight on that would be Canelo. After all he has sworn off CERTAIN fighters from the United States who are stylistically his kryptonite. Let's just say that since Mayweather and Lara CERTAIN Fighters of a specific group, style and category he has not engaged and he will likely not engage in the future. He knows who to choose who plays into his strengths. Ward certainly is one of those specific fighters he would never engage given WHO Ward is and the abilities he possessed in his fighting days.
Cheers
Kovalev was clearly winning the rematch on points. Yes, he did get rocked by a punch. But when did that allow anyone to step in and start whacking them in the balls repeatedly? When did that allow for corrupt refs to stop the fight? A corrupt ref who has done plenty of corrupt work, but said after the fight, that it was in fact wrong to stop it when looking back on it. But hey, just as long as the corruption was put into plan and executed?
In the first fight Kovalev was dominating early on, like in the second fight, but after dropping Ward, Ward knew he couldn't compete in a fair fight so did what he done so many times in his career by grabbing on to him illegally, and attempted to grind him down whilst another corrupt ref just stands by and lets another overseas fighter be ripped off by Americans. It still didn't work though, as Kovalev still won the fight. But of course, if you get past a cheating and corrupt fighter and ref, the cheating and corrupt judges will do their work.
Enjoy your extreme ignorance. And welcome to the forum. You'll find many people like you on here.Comment
