Comments Thread For: Andre Ward on Beterbiev Looking 'Beatable': 'You Will See More Guys Trying to Fight Him Now'

[AKAcronym]

When he came back he took a tune up then fought Sergey

He fought Paul Smith, Sullivan Barrera and Alexander Brand before Kovalev.

How did Beterbiev look beatable? I think he scared the shiat out of every contender who was looking to fight him.

At no point watching the Browne fight did I think "Oh, THERE'S the trick to beating him!" He looked like a beast and he couldn't even see out of his left side.

It's not like he did anything different to what he's always done? walk his opponent down and pummel them into submission...
Its almost like half these people commentating have barely even seen him fight before, acting like he's supposed to be some slick boxer or something.

The thing is Beterbiev does the same things he did 5 years ago... Just a little slower... You'll abdicate on the 10th round instead of the 4th... I don't think it makes anyone feel better knowing they just gonna suffer longer ...

Moved up immediately...following what? The Super 6 was over in Dec 2011 and he couldn't make 168 anymore after his lawsuit in 2015.

some people hold an anachronistic view of the world. ward had already moved up when he made the "offer" and hadn't made 168 since 2013 and yet was going to fight ggg at 168 in 2016? hard to believe. he also said "I don't think I can make 168 anymore. [1]75 isn't easy to make. I'm not doing anything crazy but it's not easy to make," said Ward.

he actually had a tune up vs paul smith and wanted another tune up as part of the ggg deal. that made no sense. the proposal stipulated that both fighters would have one interim bout before meeting in 2016. why lol? hes basically saying im not ready to fight ggg but ward fans try to use this as proof ward wanted to fight ggg when its the opposite. IM NOT READY I NEED A TUNE UP!!! oh ok ggg is just supposed to wait for his silly ass? lock himself into a multi fight contract when wbc already said he gets cotto or canelo next? come on now! if you arent ready to fight dont be making fake offers! but we all know thats not the case. we know given the evidence that ward was not going back to 168 and ward knew that ggg had plans in 2016 so what do they do? offer to fight him in 2016! thats some con artist BS for sure. you can tell ward was super salty everyone was saying he was ducking ggg for years. this was his "get back" moment but unfortunately the facts speak for themselves. ward tried to fight bums for years: pavlik, sartison, periban, etc...and wards offer was not legit and was just meant for media propaganda purposes. he just couldn't let it go but then again this is the same guy that fouls nonstop and passes it off like its nothing.

if you mean when he came back after his promotional issues he had a tune up vs paul smith, a tune up vs barrera, a tune up vs brand, then he fought kovalev. he just wasnt ready and kovalev taxed that ass. insert ward shocked face when the judges robbed kovalev

The American Sven Ottke should keep quiet. no one cares about your mirage of a career.

Ward was exactly that. Fought with immunity in his hometown where he got to headbutt Kessler and hold his way to sorry decisions with hometown judges. Jay Z bought him 2 wins over half shot Kovalev.

Wards career was that of the American hype hope because of the domination of Eastern European fighters entering the USA market. Ward is the Oprah Winfrey and lebron James of boxing. The inferiority complex is real.

Stone cold facts. You hit all the key points that Coward fans cannot refute because the truth is the truth. Ward blatantly used GGG name to clout chase off of, because before JayZ turned him into the pro black representation, he was just the son of a white man and had no fans beyond the borders of Oakland. Ward admitted a year after clout chasing GGG who was the hottest fighter in boxing, that 175lbs was difficult to make, and that he had never any intention of fighting at 168 since his last fight there in 2012. The biggest coward move came after he robbed Kovalev when he broke Rematch contract because he needed to be the one to anounce the fight cause he wanted to time his steroid cycle right before the Rematch. That's why when you hear fighters stipulations on announcing the fight, it's always about timing that cycle so you do not piss hot. Ward was a slick coward needing to pass that vada test and Kovalev people pointed out that Ward didn't have full testing for 3 months like the Rematch contract stipulated. It's just par the course for these clowns. I just accept their inferiority complex.

Ward is an idiot but I'm glad he's talking **** about someone he could never beat. Canelo still won't go anywhere near beef for 2 years or more.

[NotWoke=Woke]

this is just american bias BS-

Bteriev had one of the worst cuts I have see and didn't really slow down

Marcus browne is a cheating pussssy using his head as his best weapon

Correct. The amount of pro American fighter bias is disgusting. Ironically, Ward and Browne are the same fighter. Both use the headbutt and dirty tactics to gain an advantage and Ward just saw himself in what would have happened if they fought when Beterbiev was ibf mandatory when Ward tucked tail and ran into retirement. Ward is one of the most inferiority complex people in boxing outside Floyd Mayweather.
