Andre Ward Targets Carl Froch, Lucian Bute, Stieglitz

[VipersThunder]

funny how he never mentions Arthur Abraham

I,m going to ytell you right now. AA has nothing for Ward. He's a nice fighter/puncher but I wouldn't get your hopes up on that one.

[Jedi Kasra]

He would easily beat sloppy Froch, as long as he is accurate, and would do the same to overrated Bute and another robotic fighter like Stieglitz.

I'd ave to agree. To beat the #1 is no easy feat. Yet Ward made it look easy. I'm picking him to beat Taylor, of course, and I think he'll beat Dirrell because Dirrell lacks the focus Ward has. So I ultimately think it will be Ward-Kessler in the final matchup.

what title does abraham have?

[King Koopa]

He would stop Froch
Never seen Stieglitz
And would stop Bute as well

Ward is a monster

i think the hardest fight hell have is direll.. honestly..

Kessler, done
Abraham - too stationary, will get hit all night, ward was in excellent condition for his last fight.
froch - sloppy, and cant box.. i still dunno how this guy is undefeated. hes just a tough guy..
taylor - ehh, i dunno how hes going to recover
direll - very fast and can box.. he also runs a bit.. hes hard to hit

[HattonFaithful]

great to hear...to often these days you see a good fighter get one title and then just defend that for as long as they can...IMO it should be like the old days when there was only 1 title for every weight division and guys would have to defend it against the other best in that division...these days it seems like fighters are only worried about keeping an undeafted record, and not about proving that they are the greatest fighter out there...its refresing to see a true champion speak the way that ward has just expressed himself

Andre Ward is already the GOAT.......

haha your a funny one nelson.

Your love for the Kessmeister runs deep.

Ward is too cagy for the rest of the guys

[Allucard]

He would beat all of them, but the biggest threats to him are the fighters without titles like Arthur Abraham.

A agree, Abraham is the biggest threat to him. Dirrell too but they are friends and boxers so i expect that will be a very high skill fight to the demise of NBS . I'm almost done figuring out Abraham he's such an intriguing fighter!

Kessler is not done, Abraham is a VERY dangerous fighter but he depends on the other fighter a little bit too much, still the best turtle like defense I've ever seen.
The other guys are really no match. Dirrell is also dangerous but Ward knows is stuff better than Dirrell knows his.

I wouldn't go making predictions too early m8, ward hasn't been majorly hurt yet and tbh his punches do nothing. The only swellings kessler took from being hit in the face all night were ward's headbutts. Abraham has a great defence and rly isn't that stationary, watch the first miranda fight he managed to win going backwards all night with a broken jaw. Another thing that fight proved is Abraham is made of steel i'd like to see people try and KO him.
You also massively underestimate Froch, you say dirrel will be a challenge, but yet Dirrel vs, Froch was unbelievably close. Froch can cause Ward problems because again Ward will find it hard to hurt him without headbutts.

It is clear Kessler was overrated i give ward credit but Kessler was unbelievably poor, i think he will struggle in the tourny and may lose to Froch.
