    What is up with Andre Ward?

    First let me say that I am a fan of Ward.He is a master boxer-puncher.

    But what I am hearing about Andre makes me wonder if his heart is really in fighting. I know about the shoulder but that is fine..and the sueing of Goosen but he lost x2 there.

    I have heard that he was offered 3 possible HUGE fights and turned all 3 down due to his promo battle with Goosen:

    $ 7.5 million vs Chavez Jr at Cowboy Stadium or Thomas & Mack in Vegas.

    $ 7-8 million vs Froch II in England.

    $ 7 million vs GGG at MGM in Vegas with K2 and TR providing support fights.

    To my knowledge Ward's biggest payday to date is $ 2.5 vs Dawson.

    What gives? Do ya all think that he wants to fight?

      He was offered the Kessler fight in Denmark for little money. That is all. Ward would literally get on his knees and blow the person offering him a JCC Jr. fight.

        He has a contract dispute with Gossen. He wants out of his contract because of improper business ethics on Gossen's part.
