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

[Weebler I]

I like Kessler & Froch but they are a class below Andre Ward. They are also-rans along with everybody else in the division. All this noise about not leaving Oakland is off the mark. Ward dominated Froch in Atlantic City and he'd beat them both in their own living rooms. Although having Carl's girlfriend screaming in his ear that close would definitely be a deterrent. The only dude that's going to trouble Andre is Gennady Golovkin and Ward may move up by the time he's ready.

I don't necessarily disagree with anything you've said, but the question I would ask, is who else is Ward going to fight this year?

Remember Ward does not want to move up.

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!

This is by far one of the most ridiculous comments that have read since I have been on this forum. And that is saying a lot.

I don't think Ward is concerned. He earned over $1.5M for easy work vs. Dawson. He'll make similar money for even easier work vs. Pavlik in March. If the Kessler or Froch rematches ever happen (which they won't), he'll make even more money for similar easy work. Ward will continue to make over a million a fight for pretty easy work for the foreseeable future.

I don't think Ward is jealous of the ink either. ESPN and Boxing Scene have him #1 pound-for-pound. The Ring and Yahoo! have him #2 pound-for-pound behind Floyd Mayweather Jr. He is the undefeated, WBA, WBC, lineal/The Ring super middleweight champion, Super Six winner, and former Olympic gold medalist. Life is good for Andre Ward.

What have you done lately?

No he didn't, and no he won't make more for a fight vs Pavlik.

Ward used to come off as a humble guy but the arrogance reared its head in this interview. He was very defensive and reminded me of Floyd when he was asked challenging questions. Its no like Adam Smith or Johnny Nelson were accussing him of never leaving home and having unfair advanatges but its as if he thought thats where it was heading and took it in that direction.

Great boxer Ward but I think its the Floyd situation starting all over again.

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

Froch has fought all over the world. Trust me he has more fans and more people who know who he is! Here in Canada they've put Froch fight live from England. You don't get to see Ward unless you subscribe to HBO. Froch has fans in Montreal because of the Pascal and Bute wins. He has fans in Denmark because of the Kessler fight of the year. He has more fans in England than Ward has in Oakland. He's also built a decent fan base in U.S.

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.

Lol at waste of talent. Carry on though..
