Ward - I'll fight Mayweather at 160 (not GGG doe, he'll make me good boy)Comment

I really hope not, but I don't think he really wants to fight anymore. He's willing to sit out rather than not make exorbitant amounts to fight and defend a title against overmatched competition. He doesn't seem to realize that the longer he doesn't fight, the easier it is to pretend he doesn't exist.
I hope Roc Nation gets him back in the ring, because while he has lost my fandom, an active Andre Ward is a very good thing for boxing. He's one of the best, and at one point arguably was the best in the sport. Who knows now.Comment

He is no where close to Wlad. Ward doesn't have to clinch, has done so less and less since the awful fights against Kessler and Bika, and the method behind his clinching couldn't be more different. Ward is trying to maul his opponents inside when he clinches. He usually has one arm clamping while the other is active. If his opponents had any idea how, they could fight back inside while Ward is doing that, but they don't.
Wlad is terrified of getting hit and ******s his opponents to prevent any infighting whatsoever.Comment

Was the talk of him wanting to rematch Kessler correct? I wouldn't mind that fight at this point.
I don't think his career is over, but picking Jay Z doesn't seem like the best idea. If he'd gone with GBP/Arum/Haymon I think he'd probably have something scheduled by now. Kinda get the feeling he went with Jay just because that was the biggest offer. Doesn't mean it can't work out but so far the inactivity continues with no sign of change.Comment

Ward is his own problem. He wants too much money for meaningless fights. Paying him $2mill to fight La Bomba was desperation on part of HBO to get him back in the ring and look at the crap fight they got for it. He only sold 4,000 tickets for that fight in his home town.Was the talk of him wanting to rematch Kessler correct? I wouldn't mind that fight at this point.

Between his delusional self-worth, unappealing negative style, lack of punching power, lack of intriguing opponents in his division, and even his pissy attitude, Andre Ward is going no where. Unless he realizes he needs to fight for less money he'll stay that way.Comment

It's really getting to the point where if he doesn't get in with someone ... Anyone soon... By the time he does he might have lost just enough of a step to get upset. It's a shame too the guy clearly has a tremendous skill set.Comment

Didnt ward call out floyd at 160.floyd ran his mouth and ward called his card and ellerbe to the rescue before being fired a few months later. Some people say ellerbe and floyd broke up.
Anyways,ward was willing to fight floyd at 160. Some say floyd might fight cotto at 160..what gives.Why are you guys pissing your pants over Ward-GGG?http://www.boxingscene.com/andre-war...ght-you--63365
