Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Relinquishes The WBC Emeritus Title

[BattlingNelson]

Kessler said he's not interested in a Dre rematch.
In case Froch wins this Saturday he has Ward as mandatory...
Ward would like to hear from Hearn about a huge purse in order to cross the channel...

Kessler said he wasn't interested because there was always problems with Wards demands. He always wants hometurf, his neighbor as referee and uncles as judges. That, or something along those lines, was Kessler's words.

Whenever I think of Ward, I always think of a billy goat.

Typical. Andre Ward takes a stand against the crooked antics of the WBC and all Freedom can talk about is billy goats.

Be a fan of the sport not of your agendas.

Its crazy how they took the belt from one of the best fighters in the world and gave it to the crappiest fight ever

[whatismyname]

Ward is #1 without that piece of tin strap

But Periban is Mexican doe. The WBC has a nationalistic quota to keep.

*** that Belt, the WORLD already knows who is the best at 168, if somebody wants to walk around with that WBC and pretend to be the legit WBC Champion at 168 well then let them

They took his title before, then when the Dawson vs Ward fight was signed then all of a sudden the WBC gave him his title back without even telling him

[richardt]

I would to hear what those better things are. I actually agree but idk what Ward is gonna do at 168 right now. He's kinda stuck in a bad spot.

Better things is more money against bigger names. If he wants to travel, the winner of Froch/Kessler would generate a much bigger payday than Bika. The winner of Edwin Rodriguez/Gratchev would be a nice target.

[Jack Napier]

good for him
Ward's p4p #1 and the lineal SMW champion
he doesn't need Sulaiman's belt or the tax he pays just to wear it
when Ward comes back, he should face the Froch-Kessler 2 winner
he doesn't need to since he already whipped both
but just remind that winner they aren't really champ of anything

[285Kid]

Edwin Rodriguez is busy in 1 million dollar tournament, George Groves go his eye in the WBO belt after his next fight..

Can you say Saiko Bika vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr
