    Nobody wants to see Ward in the UK. I highly doubt a rematch with Ward would sell more than 4000 tickets and it definitely wouldn't be PPV.

    Hopkins is just about tolerated because he is charismatic funny and ancient (mind you even he never fought that way as a young man). Ward is just flat out monotonous and there is no excuse for a man in his prime to fight in such an detrimental way to the sport. He is anti-boxing.

        Andre Ward and Froch fought back in 2011.

        since that fight

        Froch has beat

        Bute, Mack, Kessler and Groves twice.

        Ward has beat

        dawson and rodriquez

        Froch does not need Ward. Ward needs Froch in my opinion. that or move up a division.

          and why do you say that, dan?


          on the power, i agree for the most part. froch's right hand on a stationary target is probably bigger than anything ward can muster.

          that said, ward hit rodriguez with a left hook that would have dropped or hurt every SMW on the planet. i know rodriguez pretty well. he's a huge guy, and he's always had a fantastic chin, going back to his amateur days. he has power. these are SMW, not little guys.

            jim grey.


            he's shaking hands with his adopted father, the prince.



            the reaching being done in this thread is fantastic. one fighter is clearly better than the other. the brits go to lengths to find stuff other than boxing to make their guy #1.

            he a draw, doe
            he exciting, doe


            he got the f#ck beat out of him, doe. let's not forget the important stuff, guys.

                Ward should fight in his actual hometown. At Cow Palace or something, people in San Francisco would probably go watch him.

                But seeing as how Oracle is right off a BART train it probably won't happen. People in the Bay Area will usually get behind their athletes but Andre Ward is an unknown. If I had to make a guess on my experiences only 2/10 people you ask in the Bay Area would know Andre Ward.

                  I wasn't talking about Grey. I was talking about the ***** in the white dress.

                    how does it feel when a fighter you clearly idolize gets the f#ck beat out of him by a ***** in a dress?

                      that wouldn't surprise me. ward's not in shape, and froch should be fresh, as long as he didn't injure himself against groves.


                      let them train for two months, and ward beats the f#ck out of him again.
