Now the excuse is "well its a comeback fight", so what? Pick a decent opponent in your own division at least instead of dragging somebody else down to your division. Ward is given so much respect as a great fighter and one of the best pound for pound but he never has to prove it, I used to be a fan of his but over the years I came to realize he can be a real jackass.
    I'm not a fan of his

    Who do you want Ward to fight? We don't even know if this is confirmed or if it's a title fight or what weight it's at but the usual suspects are out to try and **** on it because they're scared of Ward actually making a comeback.

    Another excuse bites the dust so onto the next for Nelson n co.

        This better be at 172-175 or it's BS. Oosthuizen's blamed his last two performances at SMW on struggling to cut the weight.

        Oosthuizen got a gift SD against Andre Ward's sparring partner in Brandon Gonzales then struggled hard to get a MD against the awkward Maderna. He then dropped out of the sport for most of last year with depression and unwilling to train hard anymore.


        And what the hell happened to the Froch fight? Andre get cold feet?

          He hasn't fought for over a year. He's allowed a tune-up

            Well if he is staying at 168 he could find an opponent in the division, not one a division higher to bring down and he hasn't seemed too anxious to get to 175 so that's why I think it will be at 168, but if for some reason the fight is at 175 then I wouldn't have a problem with it so much. There are good fights waiting for him at 175 but he hasn't seemed very interested in them but if he is going after those fights and this one is just to test out 175 then that shouldn't be a problem.

            Nobody is afraid of Ward coming back, why would they be? I don't understand that part.

              It could be at a catchweight or it could be non-title which means neither will have to make 168.

              I asked you to name an opponent.

                Stop dragging my name into this campaign of yours. I happen to think this might be Ward's best opponent in 3 and a half years.

                  Yeah. Give the guy some latitude. He is one who always fullfills his mandatory obligations.

                  .... Oh wait a minute! He's never fought a mando!

                    Campaign?

                    Everyone knows you've been on a campaign to **** on anything Ward has done since he bashed up your hero Mikkel Kessler and ruined your dreams

                      Ward should fight one of the top ten boxers at 168: a Dirrell brother, or perhaps DeGale or Ramirez. Or he could go to the UK and fight Froch.

                      He also has the option of fighting one of the contenders at 175. Or he could fight Oosthuizen at 175.

                      But it's very pathetic if he fights Oosthuizen at 168 or even at a catch weight, because Tommy has had trouble making 175 for his past couple of fights.
