Go back to school, learn how to talk like normal respectable people with clear speech and make sense. Maybe it’s too many clips round the ear that does this to people? Who knows, but I find it very irritating.
    back to the point, 3 wins of note and treated like a messiah? Fack off.

    Dude called Ward broke and desperate. Ward has never shown any flashy lifestyle. Worked as an analyst for about 3 or 4 years at ESPN. That’s a decent paycheck. Not mentioning the millions he made in his career.

    It’s a chit fight if it happens but calling Ward all sorts of silly stuff is well, silly.

      Ward's dirty tactics, and clinching won't work vs a much bigger man, but you might have a point.

        The Great Andre Ward is making a return? I knew that money wouldn't last long. He was neva in any big money fights, which is why it made no sense for him to retire so early. But I'm sure we knew the reason why he left the sport.

              a big Ward fan, but this is obviously a money grab..... otherwise the subject would be Usyk

              Ward was very quick to add that the fight should happen at Wembley..... ensuring that location would not be an obstacle, and maximizing the payday

              no interest in this fight, Ward should stay retired..... despite the fact that losing to Joshua would have no negative impact on his legacy​

                    punching someone in the balls is skill? come on thats silly. wrestling is literally not legal according to the rules. clinching is the biggest component of wrestling. holding and hitting is not legal. it makes his fights unwatchable but above all its not even legal. hes using "skills" that do not apply to boxing.

                    thats why it was so infuriating watching a guy get away with blatant nonstop illegal tactics, but only when he was fighting guys he was worried about of course. he didnt do that against paul smith or alexander brand. then to blatantly headbutt and low blow his opponents on top of that? sadistic. no this was clearly wrong and boxing letting him get away with it is akin to war crimes or war-d crimes

                      Your making stuff up

                      Ward offered him a fight at 168 and he declined
