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

[Motofan]

I believe Ward. I think he is just starting to reach his peak now, and he needs someone who is talented enough to push him at this point to bring the rest of his talent out. He may have to wait a while.

[Redd Foxx]

Scary thing is, he hasn't even hit that early 30's muscular strength that guys get. And, he plays it smart enough to stay relatively injury free. The guy isn't exciting, but he's the future and nobody's beating him anytime soon. He's made a great division look mediocre.

[bojangles1987]

That is a very scary thought, that Ward isn't even at 100% yet.

in that fight, not only he demanded hometown advantage, he also wasn't willing to go up a SINGLE pound over 168, but the other dude went down a whole weight class

pacquiao's a little **** for demanding catchweight's, but this dude took it to a whole new level with dawson

Lmao, Dawson was the one who called Ward out, Dawson said he'd be willing to fight at 168, he's been saying it for YEARS.

Btw, Ward fought Froch in Atlantic City, NJ, literally the other side of America!

Tell em S.O.G

[citolindo]

S.O.G. needs to stop with this Im only at like 85 percent rite now talent wise. So I guess hes gonna get 15 percent better. lol. He p4p number 1 to me but that Im 85 percent rite now is horse shyt. He need to go to 175 now and clean up there. He doesnt need to fight pavlik or bute.

so ward was willing to go to the other side of his own country against a brit (from the other side of the world)? OMGZZZ WOW!!

The east coast is nothing like the west coast lmao, you were *****ing about Ward fighting in his home town.

Ward came into that fight with a broken hand and STILL whooped Froch's ass with ease. You're acting as if fighting in America has caused him to win all his fights. If I were him I'd keep fighting in Oakland too, he almost never KOs guys which could easily lead to a robbery in another country.

Ward has beaten the best, he's the shot caller now.

Floyd and PAC never got better as the years passed right?

[hatershate]

I really love Andre Ward. He's a fine ambassador for the sport. Very well-behaved and well-spoken in public. These traits obviously come from his white side of his family.

Shots fired.

If Dawson was soo weak, have did he get up after the first knockout and give up a great fight ?

After the fight why did dawson repeatly state have strong ward was and that he wouldent take anything from him regarding the weight.?

Can you honestly say that Dawson looked weak or drained , honestly ?

Becuase the Dawson I saw looked perfect, and not weak at all.

Wards game is to neutralize his apponents best weapons, and when he has done that he starts drilling into there weakneses.
That is have he have won every fight I have seen him in.

Ward nutralized Dawsons best weapon aka his reach by either being too far away or to close, then he nutralized his boxing by getting in and throw quick left hooks inside Dawsons zone where dawson couldet retaliate with his great pure boxing.

The reason why Ward was such a favorit going into the fight have nothing to do with have he is fast or that he is a great inside fighter.
Its because he knows what to do,and when to do it in order to win, and in turn his opponent will make mistakes and eventually shut down.

He is everything Amir kahn is not, and that is proberly why kahn`s people have lead him to Virgil hunter in hope that he to will learn the magic.

Problem is that Kahns people diddent tell kahn that what Ward`s got is somthing you are born with,its have your brian is hardwired.

You have to be f'n kidding me. One of the most obvious signs of Chad not being right was that he seemed to be falling into the most basic anti-southpaw traps, slow jabbing which allowed Ward to slip and come back with right hooks. No foot movement, his foot was literally glued to the canvas.

Chad was not only was weight-drained, but his skills were on the decline because of constantly switching trainers.
