Ward is a pompous, overrated, jealous and hateful person

Sounds like you are the jealous and hateful person here with this post.

Ward hasn't lost a fight since he was 14 years old. Last US men's gold medalist 2004, Two division world champion, pound for pound fighter, Super Six Tournament winner, respected by his peers across the board. But yet he gets the most hate from his own fellow countrymen. It's sickening and insane how much hate is in this world. I've been to many countries and win, lose or draw they apprecate and love their champions.

Froch, Kessler, and Kovalev all in their primes are nothing huh…..mate, do a runner….

Compare wards career with canelos!?.... Exactly, now jog on

[Knuckle sandwich]

Who do you consider to have been better at that time at 168? Who was better than Kovalev at 175 when Ward beat him? Who should he have fought to shut you up? Calling great fighters like Froch, Kessler and Kovalev "rubbish" is quite idiotic, so I am curious who did he avoid?

He was a bargain basement champion

lost to kovalev, got a gift. punched him in the balls in rematch for a stoppage. headbutted kesslers eye closed. based his gameplay around excessive clinching and illegal tactics in every fight which was " his p4p inside game" was allowed to get away with it because he was protected, hence why he never fought as the away fighter. because if he did he would have several losses.

being a "world champion" does not mean refusing to fight abroad and being in the witness protection league ffs, just look at what usyk is doing, fighting champions in their back yards, schooling them and doing so without any illegal tactics.

why couldn't ward do that? if he was so good...

Jog on? What’s that about? And what does Canelo have to do with this at all? That was the king of whataboutism if I ever saw one

I remember once thinking that Ward and Dirrell ("the two Andres") would be the last two guys standing in the SMW Super Six tournament and that Dirrell would leave with all the trinkets.

that tournament was f--kin great

Carl Froch once said of Andre Ward...

"After almost every fight i'd always thought i'd done enough to win or that I might nick it but not against Andre Ward. I said it in front of the cameras because you have to but deep down I knew. It was confirmed the next morning because after every other fight i'd ever had i'd wake up in the morning and my hands were in agony. I woke up the morning after the Ward fight and my hands were right as rain"

Say whatever you want about Ward but most struggled to hit him with a handful of confetti (stolen quote from Ricky Hatton).

[Carpe Diem]

A real tactician. Wasn’t the most talented or athletically gifted, but he knew how to win with sheer will, skills, toughness, and grittiness.

Yeah it was. Good memories for sure.
