    Andre Ward’s fight to break free from promoter Dan Goossen continues, and the super middleweight world champion is sticking to his guns. “You can’t get things done of significance when you have those kind of internal problems, and he’s just unwilling,” Ward told The Fight Network during Hall of Fame Weekend in Canastota, New York. “But he’s still obligated to get me fights, and he’s just, in my opinion, unable to produce that.” The 30-year-old Ward (24-0, 16 KOs), who defended his crown seven months ago in a wide unanimous decision over Edwin Rodriguez, was asked about making a move up to the 175-pound light heavyweight limit.



    If Golovkin is ducking Ward. Ward is ducking Kovalev. No?
    LOL, I forgot that happened. Wow. That looks really bad on Ward.

    But yeah, I agree with people who say Ward should move up and GGG should stay at 160. Golovkin still has things to accomplish at 160 and Ward has already cleaned out 168. There's good match ups for him at 175. Maybe not PPV fights, like he thinks he deserves, but still solid fights that will help build his name/legacy.

Why not just move up to 168 and fight the top guys in that Division?

      I know Stevenson issued a LEGIT CHALLENGE of fighting at 168 in Oakland and Ward fighting at 175 in Canada so yes that was a legit Challenge at Ward. So yeah like I said Ward is at fault as well for his Career being stuck right now.
      Then how is Golovkin ducking Ward if he's just fighting where he's comfortable?

            Never agreed with the "GGG DUCKING", like I posted in my original post, GGG could actually stay at 160 for a few more years because let be honest, GGG haven't done anything at 160 yet so yeah why should he move up to 168 before fighting the best at 160. That being said Ward is not CALLING OUT GGG, it is fans and media people who always ASK HIM ABOUT GGG or try to Debate GGG vs Ward. Chavez Jr however is a different story, he probably should have moved up to 168 a Year or 2 ago. Chavez Jr is a BIG MONEY FIGHT but GGG is NOT at least not right now so Ward is wrong about that as well, I don't even thing GGG vs ANYBODY at 160 other that Cotto is a PPV Worthy fight at the moment

            But yeah Ward is at fault just as much as his Promoter Goossen and his manager J.Price.

              I don't see how they're ducking you when you havnt fought in like a year almost. If you were active and challenging them then yeah, but that isn't the case bro.

                    In case someone listens Ward and wants to go for a fight? Who is representing Ward now? His lawyer?

                      Yeah, guys are obsessed with this ducking thing.

                      And I've never understood how someone can be accused of ducking someone 1-2 weight-classes above\below.
