Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: You Saw Me at 85%, Best is Yet To Come

[A-Wolf]

I believe Ward. 85% seems about right based on how confused he looked for the first couple of rounds. His timing was off and he was getting consistently tagged with Dawson's right hook counter every time he jumped in.

Tactically Dawson held the upper hand until Ward got a sense of urgency and went animal on him. The fight was over the instant Dawson got hurt and it was all downhill for Ward from that point forward. He was whooping up on a mentally fractured Dawson. Ward took his heart early.

WTF is dudes talking about?!? SOG is ALREADY the top dog...well at least on MY list!!

Grand Rapids?

i meant where he calls home now.... ward will prolly need to move to oakland to get more mainstream attraction... he needs to make a huge PR move to get him connected with the casual fan not us nut jobs

Ward is an absolute monster. I felt he was a lil overrated prior to the Froch fight and then dominated. Its gonna be tough to beat him and I dont see anyone around his weight that can. If he likes fighting at home so be it. Its called building a fan base which he will continue to keep doing.

Ok Ward! So exactly why weren't you at 100%? You've been in the game long enough so there is no excuse to be at 85%. What a bs statement.

Ward is a bad man. Considering Floyd's, Pacquiao's, and Sergio's ages, I think Ward is probably the #1 P4P in boxing now.

He was obviously talking 85% skill wise!!!! The right mentality of a young champion should always that he believes he has a lot to improve. Look at Kahn... He thought he was the best ever when he got a belt!!!

He's barely 28 lol, he's got tons of time to improve, we've yet to see his best which I think he'll reach in 2-3 years.



Ward isn't your typical fighter, he RARELY gets hit, and he's so good he breezes through his competition with ease. He won't age like most guys do because of this, he has very little wear and tear on his body.

Take Mayweather for example, he started peaking in his early 30s and still at 35 he is fighting at an extremely high level, just 7 years ago he was fighting Mitchell, Gatti, Bruseles.
