    Andre Ward - massive annoyance

    He's a good boxer. Very good boxer. But seriously, I'm so tired of him.

    1) Calls himself Son of God, what an idiot, God is not like a human who gets children.
    2) He never travels outside of USA. Some say "it doesn't matter where you fight!". Well, why don't Ward prove otherwise? He has been called out about it before. I think Froch would, at least, give him a very hard fight in Nottingham, where the referee won't be on Ward's side. Don't say "it doesn't matter where they fight", cus I know it does, experts knows it does, Froch knows it does and obviously, Ward too knows that it does, unless he's just scared of plains or just don't want to make any money.
    3) All this inactivity. Seriously, his inactivity wouldn't bother me if he wasn't so damn talented, it's a waste of time and prime for a man who could do big things in boxing.
    4) If you won't go to Nottingham, then get your lazy a$$ up to light heavyweight and fight Kovalev, there's nothing left for you to do at SMW. Oh. Ward doesn't like moving up in weight, he even had to drain Chad Dawson... No catchweight like a man. There are only three fights at SMW that would be interesting for him:
    Froch (in Nottingham, prove that the location doesn't matter)
    Andre Dirrell
    Anthony Dirrell

      To be fair to Ward, last time he travelled outside the US he won an Olympic gold medal.

        Amateurs aren't the same as professional boxing. So Ward is not scared of plains, then why don't he travel for his fights? Does he not want the money? Does he like being poor?

          The fact he's so good makes the situation even worse. You've got this all round complete fighter (minus the GGG/Kovalev like power) and he's on the sidelines. 1 fight in about three years and he's been inactive for more than a year. It may be his fault or it may lay in the hands of others but for the life of me we (boxing world) need him back.

            Froch doesn't want to fight Ward (not even in the UK).
            Andre Dirrell is Ward's old buddy (Dirrell withdrew from the Super Six in order not to fight Ward).
            Anthony Dirrell kept persistent silence on this issue...
            ... JCC Jr just spinned towards Haymon, SHO...

            (About 2-3 years ago Ward said he was ready to move up... Then you all know what happened.)

              Froch tried to get Ward to UK several times, Ward just said that he's the champion so he makes the rules. Like a pussi.

              Andre Dirrell and Anthony Dirrell are friends of Ward, nice, let's get a Klitschko situation when Froch retires, with Ward and the Dirrell brothers sharing the belts without fighting each other and taking turns fighting highranked European fighters with 17-3 records or whatever it will come down to...

                Yeah he's annoying but I personally hope to see him back in the ring this year. I know a lot of posters here are done hearing about him and I am too until he gets in the ring again. I'm glad he got taken out of most p4p lists but everyone knows whenever he starts fighting again his talent is going to put him right back on the list.

                  Froch is one of my favorites... But, no, lately Froch didn't call Ward to fight in the UK. Ward called Froch (just after the Kessler II fight) for a match at the Wembley Stadium, but Froch (and Hearn) immediately made the "Ugly Boy" move --which resulted into a rematch at the Wembley...

                    Calling himself SOG is a metaphor and obviously should not be taken literally.

                    He's proud to be a Christian like many fighters are. Nothing wrong with that.

                    Letting petty things like that bother you shows how naive you are.
