Why is Andre Ward not willing to go to 175?

[Bigg Rigg]

There's a good fight at 175 for him in Kovalev but idk if wards nuts are fully developed yet. Pascal is even there, he could go up and try him first. (Pause) either way, there's two fights at lhw for him that can be made in a Heart beat. No network or promoter drama to have to work around. Well, he actually has his own promoter drama. Kinda forgot about that. Idk man, Ward is just a waste right about now. He's boring too. I'm not talkin about his chump ass anymore. **** him. He should just become a full time commentator.

No, it was Max Kellerman's idea. In hindsight, Chad should never have agreed to it.

Dawson said HBO pressured him to fight Ward at 168 because Ward didn't want to go up to 175. Maybe if he had Al Haymon as a manager then, he would have been better advised.

Guy doesn't even fight.

He is a "HAS BEEN"

He is a natural 168 pounder and has no trouble making weight and so far he has been unbeatable at that weight. If he fights the best challengers at 168 then what's the problem? Why should he handicap himself by fighting men who are naturally 7 pounds bigger than he is? Look what happened to Gamboa when he fought a good fighter in a weight class he didn't belong in. Hagler and Pryor stayed at the same weight their whole career and they were all time greats. Why should Ward have to do something they never did?

Ward is ducking 175

[MAXIMUS~RICO~13]

I thought he retired and is a full time commentator now ???

[wonder187]

Ward needs to go to the WWF and come as a bad guy. Maybe then would have his own fan base

[dazzo16]

He wanted to make the move while ago but Virgil hunter said no

Him vs kovalev would be a great fight this year

You are a ****** - your rankings dont make sense manny been knocked out by marquez and lost to bradley?

ward won gold at light heavy didnt he? ward is a **** ped using arrogant fake christian piece of ****- people see thru his 'holier than thou' bs

[KJB]

I don't think he's scared, I think he wants money fights with Froch, Chavezito or Triple G before he moves up for more money fights at 175. I honestly think it's business. That said, I think Kovalev is more of a threat than any of the three guys I mentioned, by a long shot. That guy is a killer, straight out of a Rocky movie.

Hmmm, everyone wants the middleweights to come up to supper middle to fight Ward.Dawson came down to fight Ward.How about Ward go up in weight for once since he can't get fights at super middle.
