Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Looms Closer To Cotto-Canelo Defense

[daggum]

The only difference I see is Ward has actually fought guys like Ward/Kessler/Dawson and GGG is still calling out current and former WW's. Yeah, there's a big difference.

those ward fights were long ago. what's happening right now? is he fighting the best? no. is he trying to? no. ggg is doing both those things. you are just mad that an unproven ggg won't move up yet you aren't mad that legend ward won't move so stop with the hypocrisy.

Ward never called out 175...
Ward never accepted 2 other fights at 175...

And, I tend to ride with a guy who has actually accomplished SOMETHING, rather than what he could, might, maybe do. This is why you like GGG and Canelo, you're fan of guys on what they CAN do. I am a fan of what people ACTUALLY do. So all your talks about what theoretically could happen, I could give a **** about it. I'm a about substance, not sizzle.

I agree. I just don't understand people saying he is boring. He's a masterful boxer. If someone is bored by him its likely because they don't understand boxing enough to know what they are seeing. It seems that many of the Ward haters are just GGG/Kovelev fans who are threatened by him.

It just lies and hateraid !!!! Most that claim he's sooooo boring say so because they say he holds , clinches and head butts too much . What's funny is that he hasn't fought that way since the super 6 , but haters still use this old , stale justification just to keep the hate sounding like its legitimate . These haters should take time to at least update their reason to hate Ward or else just admit that it's solely predicated on skin color .

But Ward's fans still use the Super Six, this old, stale justification just to keep Ward sounding like he is legitimate when he has not had a decent fight since that tournament ended. If his fans can fall back on that tournament, the ONLY decent opponents he has on his resume, then the rest of us can use that same tournament as the basis of our criticism of his fighting style. It is not like we have two or three fights per year to base anything on because he only fights once every 24 months or so.

Lets be honest the SMW division has always been weak and it's probably at its all time low state there is just an absolute lack of talent in this division.

I heard Jay Z was in that strip club yesterday where the guy thats going to fight Quillin works, wonder what he was doing there.

[WarMaidana]

two of boxings biggest divas on the card cotto and ward. Ward will demand he's only on it if its Ward vs. TBA as the main event and cotto alvarez as co-maijn

[just the facts]

Yeah who cares who he fights. Get rod salsa in there so ward can display all those skills..

Cant knock out smith but he can beat kovalev with no power at the weight. Lmao
Thats why he wants to go back to 168 and duck

open wide

Ward must have something going for himself, ggg won't fight him

[just the facts]

Put his elite skills on display? What good is seeing someone with "elite" skills fight someone that's subpar? How is that challenging? These groupies are getting out of hand. Be a fan of the sport for once.

Does this apply to ggg as well?

[just the facts]

Ward is gonna fight another bum

Thats more 4 years without a top 10 opponent
Waste of space on ppv.

ggg fan calling someone else's opposition bums! Hilarious!
