Comments Thread For: Goossen Wins CSAC Decision Over Andre Ward - Again

[Tay Roc]

Goosen: 2 have tried, and 2 have failed.

[FeFist]

Goosen hasn't promoted him and made him a star to the extent that Bob Arum would have. If Andre was able to get out and go to Top Rank he would blow up big.

I hate Bob but I do give him credit for knowing how to build stars.

Ward hasn't exactly been fighting. After the Super 6 tournament, the world was essentially at his finger tips. He should have fought and whipped Bute, but he let the fight fall to Froch.

I also think it is incorrect saying Bob would have made him a star. His track record with fighters, who do dazzle the masses, isn't exactly stellar. He'd be another Rigondeaux.

Ward needs to get back to beating the people in his division. His actions remind me of Bradley's fight plan in the Pacquiao fight: missing the smaller details in the hopes of landing big.

A Chavez Jr fight would have finally gotten his foot in the door of the lucrative ppv world. Which is what he needs to take the next step in his career.

And we all know that the only way he would get that fight is if Arum owned a piece of him. It is what it is.

I already agreed that he has to live up to the contract that he signed so you can save that rant.

So getting payed millions of dollars for each fight isn't enough? Again, another religious hypocrite.

And I'm far from sure he would've done better anyway, and he probably wouldn't have been #2 P4P after 27 fights. You should call Rigo up and congratulate him on becoming a super star thanks to Arum.

According to Virgil Hunter fighting Chavez proves that you don't want to fight the best anyway, so why would he wanna do that?

Rigo doesn't speak English and isn't from the US so he has those things going against him.

Arum has the right fighter with the right demographics to make a big fight for Andre. He absolutely could have increased SOG's profile above and beyond what Goosen has done in my opinion.

But now he's stuck with the guy he signed with so it doesn't matter in the end.

It's Ward's fault for signing an extension, dude needs to own up to it. Goosen did all these things for him and Ward felt like Goosen was doing him good.
Then in the middle, he felt like leaving because he saw other big promoters who wanted him, but forgot he signed a 5 year extension.

Sit or fight... he'll probably sue again before the end of his contract and sit again, blaming everyone but himself

[thuggery]

OWNED. Stay put, sissy. Stay ducking.

This, if his ass wants to stay ducking and being a borefest who only fights in Oakland that no one cares about so be it.

[MDPopescu]

Ward should better sign "advisor" Al Haymon -- you never know...

[Cinci Champ]

OWNED. Stay put, sissy. Stay ducking.
