Andre Ward trying to get IBO title shot against Zac Dunn

[Beercules]

Next time you're binge drinking, crying about your wasted life in the lounge, comb through your post history. You'll come to a quick realization.

Aye cuh when is Ward fighting Kovalev, since he just fought at LHW?



Tsk tsk resorting to low blows because your boy Ward wants a quick cherry

It wouldn't be an undercard fight it' be a co-main event and be marketed as such.

Hate to break it to you but co main event = undercard

[bluzi]

Avoided? golovkin and his team turned down the two best guys that called him out lol gtfo

So it comes to this ? if a smaller guy doesnt come up and fight you , all you do is fight tier 5 fighters ? its this how you justify Ward fights ? by blaming GGG ? this is getting really sad .... , he can ... you know... fight real guys in HIS division , or go up himself..... keep on blaming GGG for the smith and janitor fights Ward is signing .....

Who is there to fight? Degale is waiting to see if Groves beats Jack to set up a big British fight. Abraham wants to fight Sturm which is a big money fight in Germany.

Only Golovkin or Kovalev are appealing fights to me, everyone else is meh. Kovalev wouldn't be an undercard fight and the Golovkin fight needs to come first if he's to fight both for obvious reasons.

Andre Ward could have a big fight with Jean Pascal this year. It'd be a major fight vs a good name and would make a statement. Instead he was looking at fighting an untested 24 year old who looked like crap in his only step up fight.

You guys cry and moan for Golovkin to move 8lbs and fight Ward, lets see Ward do something and move up fewer lbs and fight Pascal.

[Robbie Barrett]

What is the obvious reason? So he doesn't have to come back down in weight after moving up? Because that's what you want GGG to do. Move up for Ward and come back down for Cotto/Canelo.

If Ward moves up and loses he hasn't got a guaranteed PPV fight to move back down to like Golovkin has. It would give Golovkin all the more reason to duck him too, with more excuses about how his stock has dropped because he lost etc.

He was looking to fight the man who he and his fans said everyone was ducking from 154-168, but that man chickened out.

So that's your response, deflect to Golovkin? Let's stay on topic and ask why doesn't Ward look to prove himself for the first time in 4 years with somebody like Pascal?

So you're saying Ward won't fight anyone good because a Bigger name a division bellow him has better options at the moment?

Going up to light heavyweight for the right fight -- not to campaign up there, but for the right fight -- is an option.

I'm saying he tried to fight someone good, who he and his fans claimed was the best from 154-168 and that guy ducked him. Now that guys fans want Ward to move a division up and possibly lose so the boxing world will leave the hype job Golovkin alone.
