    A nuthugger?

    I openly admit A guy who I don't like has a better resume than Ward right now at Super Middleweight.

    You're saying his draw has been easy but the fact is Ward drew the favourite to win the entire tornument. How on this planet is that an easy draw?

    So now you're saying Abraham isn't a good win?

    So wait, If Kessler and Abraham are 'easy draws'

    Then Froch's last 3 'draws' are;

    Kessler
    Abraham
    Johnson

    So surely Froch has had an easy draw also?

    It's serious hard to argue Froch has had a 'hard' draw in this tornument as opposed to Ward who has had a 'easy' one when throughout 50% of the tornument they have fought the same opponents.

        But according to you, 2 of the 4 Froch fought other than Dirrell are 'easy draws' and Johnson at this stage isn't exactly a hard draw.

        So according to you, 3 out of Froch's 4 fights in the tornument are 'easy draws'. But surely that isn't correct?

        Well of course its by far worse than Froch's resume at 168. No one is dis*****g that and I have even stated it.

        But their Super Six run's aren't drastically apart I mean they share 2 out of 4 opponents for crying out loud.

        Oh, don't be so ridiculous. Ward's resume is lightyears ahead of Lucian Bute's and I think Kessler is a pretty huge 'plus'.

          i agree i hadnt seen him talk but i expected something among the likes of mayweather berto and hopkins
          however this kid seems like he didnt grew up selling rocks or representin da hood doin time and it worked fine he looked better than froch with his calm and sober behaviour
          he didnt have to make it rain or trash talk to appear confident

            big difference between green and bike and johnson and taylor. both froch's opponensts would smoke ward's. froch looked better v abe, obviously ward looked better v kessler. outside of tourney, froch's resume > ward's easily.

            bute has looked better vs common opponents than ward, undoubtedly. however the kessler win trumps butes resume. other than that, their resume is the same or bute is better because abe has proven beyone a shadow of a doubt, that he's shi t at 167. i would heavily favor andrade over abe

                I haven't once disputied that Froch's resume is better than Ward's. It clearly is.

                And Froch's resume wasn't the discussion it was his 'hard' draw in the tornument as opposed to Ward's 'easy' one even though they share 50% of each others opponents.

                Except, Ward has Kessler and Abraham on his resume which is a pretty astronomic 'except'.

                Wards resume is better than Bute's and that is simply unquestionable.

                Andre Ward isn't even in my Top 10 P4P List.

                But I'm a nuthugger, right?

                Never in my life have I been called an Andre Ward nuthugger and quite frankly I am in utter shock that I have been called one.

                  If Froch wins the Super Six I will have no trouble giving him the credit he deserves. But if Ward wins it then he better damn well get the proper respect that he is due.

                    funny that after fight talk i saw fear all over Wards face,Froch looked like he was unimpressed with Ward,wish they would have talked sht sportsman ship gets overplayed sometimes.

                      I've been saying this about Andre Ward in Boxing Scene. Dre is a great face for American boxing. He looks handsome, intelligent, Olympic Gold medalist, undefeated, and world champion. What else can you ask for?

                      If anything else, he should be hired by ESPN to start commenting in the FNF or Showtime hires him as a backup commenter. Seriously, the man is good for boxing very likable outside the ring. I'll admit his style inside the ring leaves more to be desired. But come on, the guy is likable with all seriousness.

                      Boxing needs more role models and good ambassadors. Dre is one of them.
