Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Aims For Late March, Early April Return

[Undisput3d]

I sure as **** hope HBO won't pay him 2 million again to fight a bum, or mediocre boxer like Edwin Rodriguez.

Make him fight a LHW like Fonfara or something if he wants that payday.

He should take Kessler's offer to fight him in Denmark - that's a legit fight for hs comeback.

Stieglitz, DeFAIL, Groves, Dirrell (either one), or hell, I guess Bika would be acceptable...

Anyone other than these guys at 168. and won't be watching.

HBO needs to ditch his ass uness he's willing to make real fightjs.

I'm hearing jay paid somewhere around 60 million for Andre ward. Talk about overpaid.

It's been a while,that's great!

Let's see what cab drivers they can find for his 2 tune up fights,before he fights someone whos actually worth mentioning.

Forget tune up fights, he needs to fight someone credible, he's wasted enough time being an announcer, planting baby tomatoes, and frolicking with deer.

Ward will likely fight one of the following:

George Groves
Robert Stieglitz
Yusef Mack
Blake Caparello
Brandon Gonzales
Rogelio Medina
Callum Smith
Andy Lee or some other middleweight at 168

It would be better if he fought:

James DeGale
Anthony Dirrell
Winner of Kovalev-Pascal at 175
Adonis Stevenson at 175

Ward's next fight will be in Oakland with a home referee like Jack Reiss who permits him to use illegal tactics (hitting while holding, head butts, hitting off the break, etc).

Funny how certain people claim Ward isn't interesting, when he was on the shelf with his contract dispute many people keep him relevant with silly ass hate threads. Now that he's back I'm sure fans of GGG, Froch and Kovalev will be working overtime to discredit him.

Funny how certain people claim Ward isn't interesting...

The fact is that Ward IS interesting...

Ward holds very good "numbers" into the ring (together with Mayweather, Golovkin, Rigo)...


To my knowledge, Ward stands as the only example in the history of boxing when the referee deducted two points to a "top boxing master" in one single round for unsportsmanlike conduct...

Ward will fight this spring -- he stayed in shape... What level of opposition is he ready to take?... that's another problem.

I don't blame him... But (in the pst) I was expecting much bigger performances from such a talented and intelligent fighter.
