    Why doesn't Andre ward want to prove he's great?

    There are tough fights out there, Kovalev and even Stevenson are murderous punchers the likes of which ward has not faced

    But ward wants to fight a bum by the name of jcc jr

    I mean I know that wards gay fanboys rep him online, granting him fantasy wins over everyone but prime rjj (and that's a toss up)

    but in his heart ward knows he only has two good wins over limited fighters (and one of those he won via headbutt)

    Maybe ward lost his hunger, maybe he started beliveing his own press, maybe he just doesn't have that throwback mentality, but whatever the reason, it's very sad.

    Eventually Ward is going to have to move up.... Probably sooner rather than later, cause he's not getting any fights right now.

      Yes Ward is obviously unproven. But Froch Kessler and Dawson are all Great

            Greatness is cool..but hey it is what it is..money pays the bills..not greatness..plus lets face it he beat the lineal 175 champ in Dawson already last year before Stevenson did

              He won the super 6 and established himself as the SMW king, now he wants the big bucks. Sounds to me like you don't want him to stay at 168 and dominate your boy Froch again, I don't blame you.

                It is sad how people try to downgrade Andre Ward. He is someone who can't lose. The only person who can really beat him are heavyweights. Thats it. Chavez Jr Does not count as a heavyweight.
