Andre Ward trying to get IBO title shot against Zac Dunn

[Fetta]

Ward has no options at 168, he's never going to become a viable opponent for Golovkin if he keeps fighting unranked SMW's. He needs a big fight, he's not getting Golovkin anytime soon.

Yeah!!!

GGG is in his 1st big fight so who does Ward think he is.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

I don't think its Ward, rather I think it's roc nation... They can't secure any 168 fights that are meaningful.. Top rank, Haymon, golden boy, and the euro promoters have that division on lock..
And Ward brings little money compared to the risk, so why would anyone put their guy up against him

[DoktorSleepless]

IBO could be pretty close to becoming legit if the fight if it happens. With Klitschko, Ward, Lara, and Golovki, they could have 4 legit champs holding the IBO.

[Mr. Philadel]

this what happens when you're the most feared in boxing....I hope the GGG fans are not trying to bash Ward...that would be ****** considering...ah forget it!!

[Fetta]

you are defending the fact that he hasn't fought anyone good in 4 years. it's been 4 years since he fought anyone good and you are still defending him? better? why do you make up excuses like he "needs to get his legs back" yet when he had his legs he tried to fight truax and sartison while ducking bute, stevenson and froch. please explain this

When in the hell did i defend that he hasnt fought anyone good in 4 years? Better yet show a snippit of where i have done that. I have said i want him to fight better comp and the same goes for GGG.

Needs to get his legs back wasnt a defense at all it was me showing patience for this fight. Its my opinion. But ok fine he wanted GGG and they said NO but i was ok with it and i explained that.

I bet you are all heated on the other end, typing with force, the angry hampster running the ideas in your head becuase you think you read something you didnt.

like i said you are a fanboy.

why would anyone give ward a 2 million guarantee is the real question. that basically destroys any possibility of any good fighter being able to fight him since ward fights aren't the biggest money makers. the only way to meet that 2 million guarantee would be if ward traveled to fight stevenson, pascal, froch, etc...but he is unwilling to do that so he stuck himself in this position where he can only fight bums and he seems thrilled about it. easy money.

Yeah!!!

What are you talking about? We're talking about fights that generate publicity and buzz. Golovkin's stay busy fight with Willie Monroe was bigger than Ward's biggest fight vs Dawson in terms of tv and attendance.


Ward needs to make himself economically viable, his style vs **** opponents keeps him at Rigo's level.

Abraham became available and i said i would like to see that fight and got those REDK some boys love to give out for mentioning it. Another champion, another belt, unifying fight and got hated on for it.

Yes but Wards fight with Dawson was far far far more meaniful than GGG's career of stay busy fights. Casuals love KO's they dont care about matchups


"We're talking about fights that generate publicity and buzz"
and i agree with this ^^^ and have been trying to explain that to some on this thread

ok well the guy who has been trying to fight good comp is ggg and not ward. we have the last 4 years as evidence of that.! ggg has been trying and is fighting good comp. ward has not been trying and isn't fighting good comp. unless you count saying i want to fight ggg after ggg already signed to fight someone else which i am sure you will since that is what fanboys do. fanboys give their fav fighters 4 years worth of patience. fanboys ignore that for 4 years their fav fighter has tried to fight bums. fanboys ignore that their fav fighters have turned down many good fighters. fanboys make up excuses like he needs to get his legs back.
