    Andre Ward said in 2012 he'd fight anyone at 168 or 175

    But since then he's ducked both Stevenson and Kovalev.

    From May 12, 2012: http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id...ard-bout-works

    Andre Ward "I am ready to fight the best 168- and 175-pounders that are out there," Ward told ESPN.com in a recent interview. "At this point, a big fight at 175 is interesting to me. I'm willing to fight anyone at '68 or '75."

        So how can anyone be ducking that person who can't be ducking anyone?

          He says he won't fight Kovalev.

          When he wasn't injured, he avoided Stevenson and fought Rodriguez.

            No no no. Ward's not allowed to have his words held against him. That's only for guys who Ward mentions at some point as opponents. Of course, how can we believe those words either?

            Now I'm confused.

                  You can not duck or avoid anyone who is not in your weight class....GGG also said he would fight anyone from 154-175 but refused to fight Ward but wanted Chavez Jr...but i know how it goes..throw ricks in the direction you want them to go and turn ya head when they land elsewhere

                    How the hell can GGG have "refused" to fight Ward when you just said Ward is in a legal issue with his promoter????


                    And you do realize that Ward criticized GGG for wanting Chavez but a month earlier he wanted Chavez HIMSELF...right?


                    Hmmmmmmmm
