Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Froch and Kessler Misleading The Fans

[Ravens Fan]

Boring champion, who doesn't want to travel. What a waste of talent. Why would Kessler wanna go to Oakland again? Last time he was there he was treated like a tomato can with no respect.

And he was also beaten like one, and I like Kessler.

Damn, Ward is clutching at straws on who will fight him next, he's got MW, SMW, and LHW all scared stiff. Maybe Golovkin will consider a move up if he can't get a fight soon.

How does he have MW and LHW scared stiff when he won't leave SMW, or Oakland for that matter? And please don't give me the 'he doesn't have to' excuse. A real champion represents the WORLD, not Oakland -he's the OBA/OBC SMW champion lol. He's clutching at straws because fans are gonna eventually get hip to this fraud.

Ward is just painful to watch!

If Ward wanted the fight so bad as he claims then he would grow a pair and stop being a vagina! Stop fighting at home so you can keep getting the home decision and the refs letting you fight the ugly fights you do because they are scared they won't make it out alive from your ****ty hometown! A TRUE Champion travels anywhere to fight! Ward isn't even a top 10 in my eyes, his style is painful to watch and in a few years he will no longer even be relevant!

Usual **** decision, if we are taking about the UK. We already saw Dirrell get jobbed in the UK against Froch. And anyone pretending like Froch wasn't beat so bad by Ward he was considering retiring needs to watch the fight and listen to the post fight interview again. So Ward beat Butt aka King of the Bums, that doesn't make him P4P.

So Dirrell deliberately falls on the floor numerous times when the pressure is on (which is equivalent to taking a knee) and fights like a scared ***** all night holding so much you think he was in love with Froch....lands a few good shots....and he got jobbed....he jobbed HIMSELF.

Sauerland has been in talks with Goosen last week regarding a Kessler-fight so I dont know why Ward comes out like this. Maybe he is envy of all the ink and money Kessler and Froch is getting.

Yep. If Ward is top dog, travel and fight Kessler and Froch. That would gain him respect, world wide

Quoted for truth.

More people know who Froch is than Ward. Ward is'nt popular and his name is'nt as known as Froch!! So how are they using his name?? Ward's a cry baby because there's no money out there for him.

The hell they do. More people would PAY TO SEE Froch than Ward but anyone who knows one knows the other.

I'm not dis*****g that, he totally should leave Oakland. I'm saying nobody wants to fight him, regardless of where the fight is held. If Ward agrees to come to Nottingham to rematch Froch I bet Froch still would have to think it over, the dude is untouchable right now.

Ward has no passport. Its irrefuteable.


Ward has defend against his mandatory (Kessler) before June. If Ward wants to go ahead with the Pavlik fight, he'll be somewhat pressed for time. He might have to pay Kessler some step-aside money or, perhaps more likely, vacate his title. Giving up his title could make sense for him, since a Kessler fight could well end up in Denmark. Ward wont like that scenario.
