Why aren't Ward fans calling for him to move up?

[bojangles1987]

I'm more worried about when Ward plans to return, if he ever does. That said, Golovkin is untested and from the looks of it, Ward may be the only fighter who can challenge him at this point in time.

I'm a huge fan of both by the way.

Why can't Andre Ward just fight? Please? I honestly don't even care who at this point. Just seeing him in the ring would be enough. Guy had just started what would have ended up at least a HOF career and then he completely halted it. He makes a hundred excuses not to fight because he only seems to want 1 or 2 fights. Anything else and he won't even consider it.

Lots of fighters feel that way, and they keep at it, keeping themselves relevant, because doing what Ward does kills their chances to get the fights they want. Take Golovkin, for example. No one had any reason to fight him 2 years ago. He kept taking what fights he could, kept active, kept himself relevant, and look at him now.

Ward was on the brink of stardom, and he completely sabotaged himself.

At 168, there is Golovkin, Andre Dirrell, Anthony Dirrell, Froch rematch, Kessler rematch, and even Chavez Jr.

At 175, there is Stevenson (Al Haymon-controlled, fighting on SHO), Hopkins (50 years old, mentor to Ward), and Kovalev (about to get schooled by Hopkins).

Choice is easy.

The Dirrells are Haymon controlled on Sho too though. Pretty sure Ward called Anthony a step back too earlier this year.

Really he's looking at Froch/Kessler rematches in Europe, another guy who isn't fighting in Chavez Jr. and hoping Golovkin moves up which seems unlikely.

I don't care if he stays at 168 or moves to 175 but an unlikely Golovkin fight aside there doesn't seem to be a lot for him at SMW.

He turned down Stevenson when he could've become lineal champ at 175 before he signed with Haymon.

why does everybody have to move up or down?????? are they struggling to make weight? are their bodies ready to make the moves?

Lol....GGG fans are wanting Ward as far away as possible.

GGG fans are constantly complaining that the elite fighters are ducking him yet the one elite dude that has shown interest in fighting him, they dont want any part of. Win or lose against Ward, he can still finish cleaning out 160.

They were willing to go to 168 to cherry pick JCC jr..... but wont go there for Ward. This is a clear duck. Maybe GGG is trying to protect his 0.

GGG is just making a name for himself...he's not going to rush to fight someone who is the biggest challenge in a weight class above him just yet. Plus who knows how difficult it is to negotiate with Wards camp right now. Ward is already established and has cleaned his weight class...he should be the one switching weight divisions between the 2.

Because Ward fans can't stand the fact he overrated as hell and not fought in so long that their miserable little lives have resorted to ****hub.

If you criticise GGG you gotta do Ward too, otherwise it seem's abit... yeah exactly.

Is Ward available to fight or not?

If not, how is GGG ducking him?

Like I said countless times, Ward is only namedropping GGG and trying to make it seem like GGG is ducking him, just to stay somewhat relevant while he is sidelined. Only his blindest worshippers (and GGG's most moronic haters) don't realize this.

[IMDAZED]

I want Ward-GGG before he moves up.

Just stop with the ****** threads already...

Show me one video where Ward talks about GGG without being asked about him (don't go looking because you won't find it).
