Ward Aging Like Fine Fish?

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Ward will be fine he hasnt taken alot of punishment and is the prime of his career.

If the wanabe p4p great thinks he deserves a massive payday, there is no bigger payday at 168 than Froch but it looks like Froch 2 will have to wait till next year.

Chavez Jr.? that's the fight he was still talking about in the interview.

It's crazy to think Ward is heading toward 30 years of age.

I wonder how long he will be fighting despite being realtively new on the scene.

Injuries permitting, I can see Ward going on forever like Hopkins as he works best inside and is not reliant on his legs as some fighters.

Ward will be fine, he's just got problems right now outside the ring
give him a tuneup once he's back, then he'll be kicking ass again
nothing at 168 but rematches with guys he's already owned
he can take over 175 if he decides to jump up in weight
there's nobody there who can beat him, he'd whip Stevenson
would love to see him punk Dawson again to stop the excuses

I would like to see him fight Edwin Rodriguez and Bute before he moves up to 175. Stieglitz (coming off the Abraham stoppage) has the WBO title, they can sell the bout as a unification fight. He can also wait for Chavez Jr to fight Bika (as he likely will if he remains at 168) and then fight him for the WBC title in a potential ppv bout.

Beating Froch/Kessler isn't 'cleaning up' 168, there are still plenty of good fights for Andre Ward at 168.

Ward wipes out a division....4 decent guys......P4P#1

Pac wipes out 5 divisions or so, loses to a guy he already beat 3 times.......not worthy of p4p mention anymore.

Wlad has been wiping out the HW division for years......barely in any top 10 lists at all

BHOP has is so accomplished that all he can do is break his own records.......maybe the bottom of the p4p list.

Bottom line, Ward isn't p4p#1 and should be dropped down or from the list due to inactivity. He doesn't even have a belt anymore.

It hasn't even been a year since he fought. Ward will come back and beat another top 10 SMW in 2013.

Boxingscene....ward wipes out a division (division!!!), little or no love....

Margarito caught cheating, never really did anything but be a glorified punching bag, gets a new praise thread daily.

Go figure

lol I really don't get the praise for him. I wonder if they are actually serious

Think we all agree that 2013 has been a banner year for boxing. It'd be a shame if one of the sport's best missed out on it altogether. Wouldn't be surprised if he's feeling left out of the party and will indeed step through the ropes before year's end.

He's only fought once in 20 months (and counting), his last fight before the Dawson( Sept. 8, 2012) bout was against Froch in 2011. Granted it's largely because of injuries and promotional woes, but he could have pulled in a fight or two in between. I recall he was about to fight Pavlik in early 2013, but Kelly got a seizure and retired for good even though they tried offering him more money for the fight.

December 2011, he fought twice within a 10 month period when he faced Dawson. Ring's PFP #1 just fought twice within a 12 month period.

It still hasn't been a year since Ward last fought and he intended to fight in September but couldn't find a satisfactory opponent (to HBO).

Granted it's largely because of injuries and promotional woes, but he could have pulled in a fight or two in between.

When though? he fought Sept 2012 with the intention of fighting in February 2013, 6 months later. He was then injured.

I recall he was about to fight Pavlik in early 2013, but Kelly got a seizure and retired for good even though they tried offering him more money for the fight.

That fight was cancelled due to Ward's shoulder injury not Pavlik.
