Comments Thread For: Mikkel Kessler To Andre Ward: I'm Not Afraid of Anyone

[ShoulderRoll]

Ward can't make 160. He has been very clear about that.

Froch is not a threat to Ward. Kessler is. Take away the homecooking in their fight in jOakland, and Ward would have an L on his record. Ward knows it and don't want any more of that viking power.

All he wants is the José Cuervo trained Kelly Pavlik.

Kessler got dished up.

People on here really need to stop getting into girly arguments Pac-Floyd style over this division and recognise that there are great fighters here. The super six was a great idea and Ward emerged as the top dog, but he only fought these guys once. Ward has improved/got wiser, but whats to say Froch and Kess havent?

Its a great division with some great matches and we should all embrace that as boxing fans rather than sinking into bumsniffing fanboy territory. Leave that to Floydiots and pacfarters.

Come on man, who are you trying to fool pactart.

Exactly. Ward has a couple of good wins on his resume - but the Kessler fight isn't one. He headbuttet him about 4-5 times and messed up his eyesight completely. I actually did like Ward at some point but the fact that he has publicly stated (to skysports during the Khan-Molina fight) that he will not travel anywhere because he's "the supermiddleweight champion" - I smell a *****. He will never be an ATG with that attitude. When Kessler and Froch retire you can say that these guys put it all on the line and mixed it with the best of the best home and away - that is what makes a ATG. With that attitude, Andre Ward will be hated. Plus, he hasn't even got a solid fanbase he would probably earn double by coming to Denmark or the UK.

Absolute rubbish !!

The only way this fight happens is if Kessler beats Froch in the UK, and then proposes a unification fight in Denmark; still, Ward will likely vacate and move up.

Froch-Kessler II looks like it'll land at the MEN in Manchester.

Why would you make such a ****** comment ?

[stretchedout]

I also think he will vacate, rater than face certain defeat but why would he not move down to MW instead of up to LHW. Better fights and more money in MW i think.....he could make the weight i guess......

No way he makes 160.

Its way to early to say Ward wont be an ATG.

Its also way to early to say he will! But hes on the right pathway, he is the highest acheiving SMW ever SO AFR, if measured against this current point in his career and the careers of the others.

[BattlingNelson]

Why would you make such a ****** comment ?

Because of his reluctancy to leave the US?

Because of his reluctancy to leave the US?

I doubt Ward ever fights outside the US too, but he doesn't need to so I don't see the big deal here.

He already cleaned out 168 so there is no reason for him to go to Europe for a rematch.

People need to be cautious when judging how far a fighter can go.

Let's not forget.. Mike Tyson in the mid-late 80's was projected to become a top 3 ATG HW. Maybe even the Goat.. During that time,, Lennox Lewis was still in the Olympics wearing a helmet and Holyfield was a CW recently moved up HW.

Yet both Lewis and Holyfield ended up knocking out Mike and are both higher ranked than he is.

Ward is the top dog now and looks unbeatable.. but who's to say he won't have a epic melt down?
