Comments Thread For: Andre Ward's Trainer Reacts To Sanchez's Comments

[TrueBoxingFan23]

I think people don't understand that Television deals are not about a boxer's skill. It is about more about name recognition and fighting style. That is why Rigondeaux can't get a fight on HBO, he is the most boring, yet effective, fighter out there. Ward isn't exactly leaving people on the edge of their seats either.

It's a business and they have to do what they think will make them money.

True, but bull!! GGG hasn't fought anybody good, and he still on HBO! Now it probably has something to do with money! Ward makes more than GGG, which is why GGG has to fight bums 4 times a year! But in IMO Ward destroys GGG! and when I say destroy, I mean BY TKO!! Everybody on GGG nuts, but lets see him get in the ring with real competition! Everybody hate on Floyd for his opposition, but when when I think about it now, who has a better resume other than Cotto? NOBODY!!!

I don't like Virgil Hunter much, but that reply was spot-on. Krusty Sanchez needs to stay in his lane.



I think he's legit but until he beats Sergio Martinez or an American like Peter Quillin certain people aren't going to give him a pass.

ahahahahahahaha I'll never be able to unsee it now LMAO

Golovkin fighting B and C level fighters is still entertaining cause he knocks them out and it's entertaining to see his development. Hunters comparsion is wrong cause Ward is not in that phase of his career and is not a knockout artist so he cannonly entertain in that way. He needs to take on real challenges to sell.

Golovkin is two years older than Ward and had a long and distinguished amateur career he's passed the developmental stage and should be fighting high level opposition. Rigondeaux fought the 3rd or 4th rated fighter in just his 12th pro fight.

Well the point is that his fights still entertains cause of his punching power so he is more able to get away with it. Tyson KO:ing bums sold tickets because of his power and aggressivness.

Rigo is an exceptional fighter and technican. He can hardly be used as a measurestick.

Same old responses.

GGG can't fight someone who doesn't accept the actual fight, what do you want him to do? Run into there house and beat them up for a victory?

Sanchez is right about Ward, and Virgil should stay in his lane and keep acting like he's improving Amir Khan, when he isn't.

What do you mean certain people? Anybody with a brain can see that he has one good victory Murray,that's it Rosado,Ishida,Proska and Stevens are pedestrian fighters at best.

Spot on. Its funny how people swoon over big punchers. I'd love to see how GGG would fight a guy like Ward. GGG is talented but unproven. People bring up his amateur record but I'm sure if i was fighting dog catchers and fry cooks my record would be good too.

GGG is better for boxing than Ward and his clownish hugging antics.

His amateur record includes:
Ramadan Yasser
Andre Dirrell
Matvey Korobov
Andy Lee
Lucian Bute
Yordanis Despaigne

Not really dog catchers and fry cooks.

Ward had the crowds going WILD in his last several fights. Just because he's tactical and skilled doesnt mean that he runs and potshots like Rigo. Or punch-clinches like Bhop. Ward is VERY violent inside fighter, comes forward throwing MULTIPLE combinations, and fights the whole fight, throwing combos from all angles. People attach the boring label to Ward solely because he's tactical and they have automatically placed the word boring next to the word tactical. But every tactical fighter is not the same. Ward is VERY exciting, dirty, physical crowd pleasing fighter. I think he has been aggressive and violent like that his whole career.

Classy move Virgil. GGG is good, but isn't the "Tyson" HBO is selling him to be. Luckily J Prince hasn't gotten involved in any of this nonsense. I think the noise coming from Sanchez is just posturing to keep GGG's name out there as his fight with Stevens approaches.
