Comments Thread For: Kessler is Eager: Andre Ward is The Perfect Fight For Me!

Read my post again. I Said jOakland/America.

Lol at you comparing two cities in America with cities in different european countries.

Fatyanks and geography. LOL.

Uhh, no you didn't say "Oakland/US" You said Ward would never leave Oakland, let alone the US. Yet in his last fight against Froch he traveled thousands of miles to Atlantic City, NJ. Where there is a 3 hour time difference. Didn't change his performance one bit did it? Exactly. You said also "Lol at comparing two different cities in america" Have you ever been to America? Those aren't two different cities, they're two different states thousands of miles from eachother. I mean, seriously. Ward has beaten virtually everyone with ease and all people can ***** about is him going to another country to fight? Who cares. After all of Ward's Olypic experience where he's fought on the road many times, do people really think him fighting someone in their backyard would change anything? Sounds to me people have nothing better to say about him so they've got to go grabbing straws.

Atlantic City was in America last time I checked.

How many fights in the s6 was won by the visiting fighter?

Lol at you comparing AM to Pro.

You don't know what you are talking about.

Ward IS boring... His hit and hold tactic against Kessler was a joke. If Ward is not allowed to cheat he would end on the floor against Kessler...

It's not about distance though is it, it's about travelling on a 12 hour flight to Europe, acclimatising, and then entering the lions den with thousands upon thousands of people roaring against you with a neutral referee & judges.

So far Ward has shown he wants no part of that but is happy for his opponents to go through it time and again. Not cool, not fair and not what a true champion does.

Were thousands of people roaring against Froch in Atlantic City? The british fans there made more noise than everybody else.

1. I'm not american

2. I don't need to be american to understand that there many cultural, climatic and ethnic differences between states. You think a puerto rican american fighter would have the home advantage fighting in LA? Or a mexican american fighting in NYC? How ignorant can you be?

Dirrell is a different challenge! So I'd have nothing against seeing that fight. Look, whatever, you lot can all watch these rematches with Ward again, but it will be the same result.

The guys been undefeated scince he was 12, an Olympic Gold medalist, 2 time world champion, winner of the super 6 and has virtually cleaned up at super middleweight that is littered with tough, hard, prime talented fighters and he's still got a lot of haters. I don't know what more he could've done at this stage of his career tbh.

Ahhh well, more haters, more money.

not hating, or doubting his talent. The intial post i replied to said Froch Bute and Kessler were the best of the rest and Ward was #1 at 168 (which i agree with).

But u went on and said they shouldnt bother call Ward out cos he was too good; too good to fight the next best guys in the division, which made me wander what the **** the point of Ward carrying on fighting was unless u wanted to see him fight scrubs (which thankfully if he fights Dawson he wont be doing).

Whats wrong with accomplished world champions wanting to avenge their defeats and becoming the divisions #1 fighter in the process? Especially if they get 1 or 2 wins against good opposition and look great doing it after their defeat (Froch had a great win and looked spectacular, and Kessler had a stunning highlight reel KO against an average fighter in Green) If Froch and Kessler rematch, the winner is the best choice of opponent for the Dawson Ward winner imo. Definately leaps and bounds better than Chavez jnr.

And if Bute gets a decent win or 2, no harm in Ward fighting him either to see how their styles amtch up

For the record I'd pick Ward to UD all of them in pretty much the same fashion as he did with Kessler and Froch the first time. Although it would be interesting see Ward fight them in their back yard to see if it affects him although i wouldnt get my hopes up as he's the #1 guy and doesnt have to.

Take my advice.

guys like Froch, Kessler and Dirrell are the best of the rest in the super middleweight division. These guys should fight it out among themselves and leave calling Ward out. He's in a league of his own, has the perfect combination of speed, defence, counter punching and head movement...in other words too much skill!

yeah but Ward needs to fight too. i recon he might as well fight those guys.. since he won't fight dirrell i think kessler it is... It's a great fight and kessler has a chance to win but it will be very hard. ward is near flawless but he won't knock anyone out throwing like that.

Here's what should happen, but it won't.

Ward-Dawson in September is set.
Kessler-Froch II in October/November.
Dirrell-Bute in November/December.

Ward can than fight maybe a Stieglitz, Groves/DeGale, Stevenson, in the spring. And the winners of Froch-Kessler II and Dirrell-Bute can fight in the spring as well. And who ever wins can fight a big showdown with Ward in fall. Than, Ward can fully move up to 175.

Jersey, where Froch-Ward went down, is one of the more neutral places to fight. And Ward isn't even from the East Coast. And not to mention, Froch seemed to get the benifit from two jduges who had the fight 115-113, when it should have been 118-110 across the board.

Take my advice.

I'm sorry, but "Fat yanks"???? C'mon man. Try better than that.
