Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Still Mulling Final Decision on Weight Class

[BattlingNelson]

You put me on ignore yet still read and reply to my posts

Wonder whose alt you are. GGG's last 33 opponents have been ****. End of story. Never compare him to Hagler. His best win is Martin Murray



You keep calling me a "troll" but can't deny any of what I say because its the truth.

Talking about Ward "not fighting a live body in 4 years" is being a troll given that you know full well the out of the ring issues he's had to deal with for the vast majority of that stint.

Ward could fight no live bodies ever again and his resume would still urinate all over your favourite fighter's. You're the real troll, pal.

I have spanked your ass and slapped you silly on multiple occassions. Your 'response' is always to just repeat your initial claim over and over and over again. It's futile and unfunny arguing with you. You bring nothing to the table, have no sense of logic and a well-below average IQ.

Should I say anything in your favour it would be that I HAVE actually read one or two posts from you in the lounge that gave me a little giggle. Here on NSB you are useless and I can fully understand posters putting you on iggy so as to easily skip your posts thereby increasing their own enjoyment visiting and posting on this board.

Have a nice day trolling the board.

The only thing you've spanked, slapped and probably ***ed is a pig before you cook it you silly old bacon vendor.

You still haven't got over a virtual novice Ward spanking your country's greatest sportsman (lol) since Peter Schmeichel in the Super Six when you were sure that it was going to be his coming out party in America.

It's been 6 years, you need to let it go. Kessler looked worse than Paul Smith in that fight

Sounds very interesting. Do you have any more info or know where to find his show by any chance? What did you make of it?
I said it before, DeGale will have the upper hand against Ward in the negotiation table and Ward will not want to travel to England.
I wonder what BS he had to deal with in the S6, it's not like he had to travel to a foreign country like everyone else.

'Going the Distance' on Sirius satellite radio so you need a subscription to listen, but they were discussing it on 'Leave It In the Ring' podcast on Tuesday. Most people's impression were that Ward considers himself the A-side and won't be willing to go out of his way to make fights.

He feels the other guys in the division need to come to him. With RN paying him $2mill per fight, regardless whether he's earned it with ticket sales, sponsors, or tv, they're only enabling that self-deluded attitude of his.

DeGale agreed to go to the US last year to fight him so it could be possible. Obviously his situation is drastically different since he won a world title though.

Fight probably happens later in 2016. DeGale will have a defence and hopefully Groves beats Jack then the winner of the rematch faces Ward.

Thanks for the info. Man, Ward is delusional. He's not the A-side to GGG, DeGale, Froch, or even Kovalev at this point.
I have no doubt that DeGale would be willing to fight him in the States, but If I were him I would try to get every advantage I can over this guy. Don't fight him in Oakland and If you could avoid fighting him in the States all together, do it (this is for DeGale). Get a good referee that won't allow Ward to get away with his dirty tactics (punch then holds you, headbutts, leaves his lead left hand in his opponents face, bends at the waist which causes most of the headbutts, etc.).
DeGale doesn't really need Ward, he has two big potential domestic match ups against Groves and another with Smith (if he develops nicely). If him and GGG keep winning that fight will be big in a few years. DeGale is sitting in a nice position right now imo.

It's not certainly depend on how much people he draws, it depends on "who backs him"? Kovalev is with Man Event, Golovkin is with K2... If Jay-Z would give Kovalev 1,5 million and 3 million to Ward (just an example), Kovalev would take it without a word, there would be no bitching about who the A side is. Same situation with Golovkin. Jay-Z is just richer than their promoters so Ward wouldn't be forced to play the B side even if he isn't that popular as the two other guys, simply because Jay-Z would probably pay them enough that the 'sides" wouldn't be that concerning topic neither to Kovalev nor to GGG. At least I imagine it like that. Usually the one who calls the cards is the guy who has the most money and with Jay-Z's money only Haymon's is up to pair right now and Jay-Z hasn't got to spread it over 100+ fighters so he can overpay a little his guys and their opponents if he wants to. Hell he bid with 1,4 million to Quillin-Korobov...

No fighter should be willing to give in to Ward's demands. It's not worth it. Ignore him and basically black ball him. Let him come crawling on his knees begging for a fight. No one should agree to fight him in Oakland. What is Ward going to do about it? He will be stripped of his title if he does not fight a top 10 contender soon and then he will have absolutely nothing at all to offer any opponent.

No fighter in the game needs Ward. It is Ward who needs everyone else right now and it is time to put him in his place and make him understand that.

Golovkin is already making 1.5 million per fight, not to mention what he pulls in from international sales to the other 140 countries that broadcast his fights. He has no need to move up one division for equal or less money. Jay Z's money means nothing at all if no one wants to fight Ward. Let Ward wallow in mediocrity by having to fight unranked fighters on BET for the next two years and see what happens then.

And by the way... Jay Z has absolutely nothing to do with the daily running of Roc Nation Sports and does not make the decisions on how they spend their money.

With Jay-Z and Roc Nation behind him he won't have to crawl on his knees for a fight. I know that you want and you dream about it and you're obsessed with Ward but you're very delusional if you think that his promoter's money means nothing in this sport.

You're still talking about "nobody cares about Ward" but all of your posts are about HIM. Lol, are you secretly love with him or what?

Yeah, sure-sure. Repeat it a few times and maybe you will believe it to yourself.
