Andre Ward: "Froch-Groves II is a domestic fight"

[Resilient]

thaty's really only because british / nationalistic fans don't know that froch and groves aren't the best SMW in the world.


you really can't flag prince ward for the brits overpaying.

ward's been in more meaningful fights. he's the SMW champion of the world. he beat the hell out of the A side of this fight.

that's what we call "domestic level."

No one cares for the bore draw doe. Boxing is a business and he's the B side.

if ward and mayweather were het same size, who would be favored if they fought?

you guys didn't see the maidana fight?

Ward ain't no Mayweather never has been and never will be. If he has the guts to face Groves after he decimates Froch, he will get whooped and become a stepping stone for the up and coming young lions of this sport.

If anything Ward is downplaying this fight because he's trying to avoid a high risk fight with Groves. Ward would rather take easy fights like Chavez Jnr than actually risk losing to Groves

Well to be fair, it is a domestic fight, I'm not sure his intentions with that statement, but it's a huge domestic fight

No. This is a battle for no.1. At least for Froch. If Froch wins he should be no.1. Ward hasn't fought an opponent with a pulse in three years.

Froch can never be #1 unless he beats Ward. Andre whipped him with one good hand, 80000 fans and all the money in the world isn't going to change that.

Froch can never be #1 unless he beats Ward. Andre whipped him with one good hand, 80000 fans and all the money in the world isn't going to change that.

He can actually, fighters are dropped from the rankings after a year of inactivity. Ward needs to fight before the 16th November to retain the spot. If it's not Froch, it'll be someone else.

You sure seem to care about money a lot for someone that has Rocky and Micky Ward in his avatar. Golovkin's millions can't fight for him. Andre would slaughter him. Golovkin knows this, hence why he ran back to 160.

Honest question, what did that have to do with anything I said. I'm not even sure how that was supposed to be an insult. Was that really the best you could come up with?

This just comes off as yet another jealous rant by Andre Ward.

Ward is a fantastic boxer, there's no doubt about it.

But he comes across as bitter when it pertains to GGG and Froch. He believes he should be getting the hype that they get just based off his boxing skills alone. But it doesn't work that way and he needs to understand that.

His management hasn't done a good job, and this whole "loyalty" thing towards members of his management is hurting him.

He's the last American Gold Medalist. Undefeated. Yet almost forgotten.

The guy's right, in a way... on a technical level it's arguably a domestic fight. Just not in numbers.

Ward's proven himself the No.1 man in the division, so by definition all his fights are on a world level... but no one wants to see them.

Bizzare for Ward to come out with those comments when the majority of Ward's fights have taken place in America. The winner of Froch vs Groves should make him travel for a fight or just ignore him.
