Andre Ward on the unfair standard that critics hold him to [Video]

I like Andre Ward but this interview is just pathetic. Miranda was supposed to win against him? Nobody wanted to fight Allen Green? They were the boogie men and he's comparing them to Kovalev? The guy is so inconsistent with his statements and he's attributing it to being black and saying that him, Floyd and Bernard are being treated different.
First off Bhop fought everyone, not just Froch and Kessler.
Second, Floyd fights whoever he pleases for the biggest purses.
So where does this leave Dre - he doesn't fight everybody and he doesn't fight for the biggest purses so he's salty.
Man what is it with black fighters and being salty? What is it with black men all over U.S whining about some hidden agenda against them just cause they are black. They get the most money in sports, most accolades, most awards and exposure and they still crying.
I thought Ward was better...Comment

You're upset because he spoke the truth? He's not supposed to expose the not so hidden agenda that people hold for black athletes, especially in boxing? Case and point, the same people that claim to hate Floyd and Broner for being "ignorant, loud and ****y", also hate Ward. Why? He's well spoken, clean cut, and humble? Yet he's hated by those same people? Think about it for a second.I like Andre Ward but this interview is just pathetic. Miranda was supposed to win against him? Nobody wanted to fight Allen Green?

Have you every heard a Wlad crying cause he is white and doesn't make the money that May is making and attributing it to racism? Yet he is the heavyweight champ putting fools to sleep.
When was the last time a white boxer cried like that and we all know the prejudice that white fighters face.
If only Wlad was black eh!Last edited by pesticid; 04-24-2015, 11:00 PM.Comment

What truth dude? What truth - that Miranda was supposed to win against him and Allen Green was a monster that nobody wanted to fight? Are you serious?You're upset because he spoke the truth?

Ehhh I don't think that's an accurate generalization. I hate Floyd and Broner for being "ignorant, loud, etc" but was a very big Ward fan (especially through the Super Six). A big part of that was him being talented, yet humble. It's only been recently that he's started to annoy me. It mostly has to do with him doing a lot of talking and not much fighting. I wouldn't say I hate Andre and will probably start rooting for him once he gets active again, but he'll have to win me back as a fan.You're upset because he spoke the truth?

Money can rob people of their dignity. Ward was all about family and morals and whatnot til he tasted a couple big paychecks. Now he's all about lawsuits and race baiting interviews.
He's trying very hard to be Floyd.Last edited by ////; 04-24-2015, 11:08 PM.Comment

If you can't see there's no fixing you. You're just ignorant to the facts. It's like the big picture is going right over your head.Comment
