Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Right Now Move To 175 Don't Make Sense

[MisanthropicNY]

FIomos who support Ward: "Floyd is the A-side he doesn't need to fight outside of MGM, Manny only deserves $40 mil flat, etc."

Ward: "Ward doesn't need to go the U.K." (even though Froch is the A-side)...

Hence why FIomos never care about making valid points they just say whatever in the moment defends one of "their guys"...

Translates to, after all the clucking dies down, I don't want to get me a-s-s handed to me at 175 by Kovalev and the rest of the top guys there! Ward is about as exciting in the ring as pulling up a chair to watch paint dry on a very humid summer evening! Dude grow a pair, leave Oakland for once and fight someone with a pulse! Not some weight drained Dawson dropping down, stop calling out a Middleweight in GGG cuz as you just stated and I quote "I'm not ready for 175 my body has to grow into it"! So why you want a guy who fights at 160 to jump to face you although I think that GGG would be one of the guys that could starch you also, if he makes the move up. At least GGG is more entertaining to watch and he'll fight anywhere unlike Mr. I'm the champ and I wanna fight in Oakland only so I can get a home-cooked boring ass decision. When was the last time Ward legitimately knocked someone out and spare me with Dawson's weight drained a-s-s.

So you claim Ward who going in wasn't even the 3rd fave to win the super 8 tourney and single handedly cleaned out the whole super middle division easily beating all comers is afraid? He should move up not ggg, or Canelo move up to him. He should on fight night be outweighed by 20lbs by kovalev. He's scared?

Bronx 7 not sure what you mean??? I did not say anyone was scared of anybody - boxing is not the sport for being scared - not sure what you where hinting - please reword if necessary

Roc Nation seems to have deep pockets. I think they are going to target GGG this year. That's the fight Ward wants. I can see Roc Nation making a Quillin type offer to GGG. The pressure is going to be on GGG and I can't wait to be on this site when it happens.

So Ward's career is active again, but Ward will only fight at 168, but that means Roc Nation is targeting GGG? Why isn't GGG being positioned as Ward's comeback opponent? Or his second opponent for 2015, or Ward's third opponent for 2015? Every day wasted on not specifically selecting GGG as one of Ward's 2015 opponents is time wasted on selling the fight to fans both those of Ward and those of GGG. Well, the way some Andre Ward fans were spouting off lately, I fully expected to see Ward throw down the gauntlet in his effort to secure a fight with GGG. As they say, expectation and surprise - except in this case, it is expectation and disappointment.

1. Golovkin at 168
2. Dirrell at 168
3. Degale at 168

It would be nice to see Andre Dirrell vs. James Degale for the vacant IBF title with the winner fighting Ward in a unification.

I love how the term "f1omo" is slowly being transformed into a blanket phrase for a fan of a certain "type" of fighter. I know plenty of Mayweather fans who dislike Ward and vise versa. But its easier to generalize I guess.

Ward has NOTHING left at 168. He conquered it. 175 has huge legacy defining fights. Just like Floyd and Manny jumped up after cleaning lower divisions

GGG has nowhere near cleaned 160 and is not a star enough to pick his fights like SOG.

How is that difference not clear?

so in pacs case, hatton was the whole 140 division? david diaz was the whole 135 division? by beating them he cleared out 2 whole divisions? maywether fought only gatti at 140, so he cleared out that division when he could have fought cotto at 140.

i can tell your new to boxing, but will claim you been watching for decades lol

Ward started his pro career at 160 lbs. He blew up to LHW in the Olympics so Andre Dirrell could go as a middleweight.

By the way, LHW in the Olympics is 178 lbs.
