Comments Thread For: Andre Ward To Remain at 168, Confirms Hunter

[Scipio2009]

Of course you're going to call bull****, you're scared for Andre's life. There is quite a few articles you could find, you could have googled searched without waiting for me. I found this one in a matter of seconds: http://www.boxing .com/andre_ward_i_can_beat_a_klitschko.html and this one: http://www.thesweet science.com/columnists/rick-folstad/7547-virgil-hunter-andre-ward-will-be-heavyweight-champ
The sources may not seem reliable, but I remember there was videos as well. Unfortunately, I can't look for them right now.
Ward's team have also ran their mouth but it's been so long ago (due to his inactivity), that people like you seem to forget.

Ward speaking of eventually, and if the right fight presents itself, challenging for a heavyweight championship and continuing forward with the general ethos of a fighter believing that they could beat anyone put in the ring with them.

Clearly prefaced by Hunter arguing that Ward would have to fill out to 200 pounds in camp and add on an inch in height; basically contingent on Ward filling out to at least Evander Holyfield-size to have a chance to compete.


Beauty of actually reading the articles; in neither article is there ever talk of Ward ever challenging one of the Klitschko's for the heavyweight championship.

Yeah there is, Ward said he would like to fight the Klitschko's in the first article. You can't add inch of height just like that once you mature, so you and Hunter are both dumb. Virgil also said Ward would be a Heavyweight by the age of 32, well Andre is 31 and will be 32 in 8 months, so you better tell Andre to hurry up he's running out of time to accomplish Hunters goals. WAR WARD!! Come on you can beat those Klitschko's hahahaha

SO how about Ward-DeGale in the fall????

likely won't happen; Degale likely headlines the 9/12 O2 show in London (still believe that Kell Brook ends up getting the Mayweather fight, with Jack-Groves finding it's way onto to/close to the Mayweather card) in a defense against a solid guy in the IBF's top 15 [Rogelio Medina still stands out], Degale versus Jack-Groves winner to close out the year/open up next year, and then the summer 2016 stadium fight against Carl Froch or Andre Ward.

[Scipio2009]

First off, why wouldnt you defend him as you admit fellow beltholders are kept away from him and unlikely to give him a chance?

Second, Nielsen, Porky Medina, Ramirez are not better than Ggg comp. Neither is shot Sturm. Froch is, but hes as unlikely to fight Ward or Ggg, whos been pushing for that fight for a while.

Name three fights that are viable options for Golovkin this year that are better opponents than the three names that you want to slag; Ramirez, Nielsen and Medina are all top 20 fighters at 168.

I'll wait.

It sounds like Hearn & Sauerland will hold off on Groves/DeGale til summer of '16. They'll take a couple safe defenses to build up. With the WBO title staying in Germany unless Rameriz takes it, Ward's going to be frozen out of his own division worse than Golovkin at MW. In fact he'll be almost as bad as Rigo, difference being RN is willing to spend money on opponents, but for how long at multi-million dollar loss per fight?

Full of **** as usual:

"All those fights are better matchups than any fight that Golovkin has ever been put in"

[Scipio2009]

Dude youre horrible poster. Always long winded, always wrong or totally ignorant of what youre talking about.

If Ward wants that fight, he fcuking finally makes an offer like an A sider he claims to be. Hes got Roc Nation behind him, no excuses anymore. Thats, if he really wants it. The one time Hbo came calling, he said no, Ggg said yes. No denial from Ward.

Just so its understood, it takes a "p4p #2" one division up to handle the can crusher? Hes too good for the rest, hence you support the ducks?

Team Golovkin has seeming carte blanche on four annual HBO dates, with the budget for each date now seemingly up to $2m, regardless of whomever Golovkin fights.

HBO isn't going to let Golovkin fight off of their network, anyway; then again, you already knew that.

Golovkin is fighting in a terribly soft era of middleweight boxing, and is content to sit there through the end of his pro career (is already 33 years of age); a little inside information, Ward isn't the only fighter that beats Golovkin or gives him a hard fight. There are enough fighters at super middleweight to give him hell that it's no wonder why he's still boiling his body down to 160, the same weight he's been at since debuting at the age of 24 and below the weight that he spent his last three years fighting at as an amateur.

“You got to fight the right heavyweight,” he admitted, but added: “As a fighter, I believe I could beat a Klitschko… I’m wired to believe that…I think it could happen, absolutely."

the direct quote from the article. as a fighter, he is wired to believe that he could beat any fighter.

If you want to spin that into him calling out a direct fight with Klitschko, you'll look foolish.

He said he thinks he could beat a Klitschko and that it could happen; hmmm sounds like a call out to me or why did he mention the Klitschko's then? You're giving GGG **** for the 154-168 thing, but want to forget this about Ward because it doesn't fit your agenda.
For Ward it has to be the right everything. Oh it has to be the right Light-Heavyweight. Oh it has to be the right Heavyweight. But GGG can only move up to face Ward, but no one else hahahaha.
Keep Hating

Who said Ggg should fight off Hbo? Where at, Bet? Non sequitur.

Ggg is not boiling down, clown. He was 161 7 days prior to Rubio. Fight night no heavier than most super welters, never any issues making weight. Full of ****, as usual
