Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Relinquishes The WBC Emeritus Title

[Ravens Fan]

Andre Ward never takes risks like that...
He's not even fought away from home once!
When you mention the fact everyone in the super six middleweight tournament did bar Andre Ward, it makes Ward look like a spoilt brat who's having everything his own way.

You may have had a point if you were in fact correct. But, since you aren't you don't. That also doesn't take into account the fact that Ward did not need a hometown decision to get a win in the Super 6 or for that matter in his career.

Right on! Ward! The sanctioning bodies will not stop creating belts. It's like they read from the ABC Warehouse's book of sale pitches.

This really is the only way to stop the ******, rat-tail titles. "Do What Ward Did."

Screw the Diamond belt! I want the World belt! Sounds better

You're kidding me right? Did you ever think he won a controversial fight? He won fair and square give the guy credit regardless if he was in his backyard.

Ward is clearly the best fighter at super middleweight and he's being classy as usual in this statement.

I'm a big Ward fan, but I cannot stand his b*tching about Froch and Kessler.

The Kessler fight, in particular, stands out - the illegal butts were deliberate. Watching it back, Ward should have been deducted several points; perhaps even been disqualified.

[DAN916]

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.

Who has ever been robbed of a win over Ward?

Kessler stands out? 5 headbutts + 90+ initiated clinches. That's a DQ mate.

A case might be made for Boone. Kessler lost his fight with Ward, but the officiating in that fight was the worst in that decade.

Without doubt.

a fighter from the bay area can fight "at home" in atlantic city, 2500 miles away. according to the brits, of course.
