Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Sees No Reason To Trash Talking Persona

[Drunk Punch]

It's a good job he's talented cos he sure is boring.

This isn't professional wrestling. He doesn't need to play the role of Wade Barrett like Froch is doing. We'll see what happens in the ring on Dec. 17.

One thing we know about boxer is if they don't secure a substantial amount of cash flow to invest they are bound to go broke. Nobody really pays to see a good or even great boxer box, people pay for k.o's

Ward's got a family he needs to support and Floyd is showing him how to get that money. Broner peeped game and is catching eyes simply with having a bit of a persona, if he keeps it up he will come into money.

Good guys finish last and if Ward don't go Tyson/Jones on his opponents there is a great chance he will have missed an opportunity to feed his children's children.

His skills will carry him to the pinnacle and to the big paydays. He's that good.

If PBF didn't create an alter ego would he be in the position he is in right now ?

Casual fans want drama, most of them get bored during a clinical masterpiece by Floyd, even Winky can attest to this. Winky's notoriety among the casuals came from his domination of SSM and Trinidad that didn't last very long either.

Floyd is more than a boxing genius in the ring, he also knows how to make the most and keep the most by taking control of his own promo.

Bottom line, Ward says he doesn't care what people think he won't promote his business with proven methods of success. Floyd on the other hand does care what people think so he is the most discussed and well paid fighter in the game.

BTW I'm talking AA fighters because it just ain't the same. Our fighters pretty much depend on the oppositions fans to either hate them enough to pay them or promote them.

these next couple of years for Ward should be epic. Froch, Bute, Groves, Dirrell...possibly a move to 175? who knows who will emerge and how it will play out

[sdcluser]

Sounds strange from someone from Oakland. It's aight to talk **** to drive the fans.

Did you just mention GROVES in the same sentence as Froch, Bute, and Dirrell?

Ward is a great fighter, but doesn't have a fan friendly style and he won't gain to many fans being a good guy. However, I think its great that he wont stoop to creating some fake persona to make money.

Special fighters have the balls to fight abroad.

Special fighters dont get busted open while wearing the best headgear money can buy against sparring partners with sparring gloves on.

Froch is a special fighter. Ward the jury is still out on.

[Rome-By-Ko]

Ward is a good fighter,and he sells good in his home town..If he does not feel the need to talk **** that's what's up because it's not his style..Having said that War Froch!!!!

[mrsatan]

I can't stand Andre Ward because he is a Jesus freak. I hope Froch knocks him out.
