Counting Down to Andre Ward's Inevitable Takeover of the Sport of Boxing

[Eastcoast]

Not necessarily.. Nowadays fighters are elected great because of who ducked them as opposed to who they beat.

So now Adonis Stevenson is the greatest?

I doubt it op.

No one cares about ward. He hasnt done anything relevant in almost 4 yrs. He is a horrible business man and his managment is below average.

No one beside hardcore fans know who he is.
And he is an undercard fighter at best.

He will fade away imo. Kovalev would literally beat him and kill the myth if any is left over from 4 yrs ago. No one at 175 fears him. He has no power and a stinky style that wont work at 175.


Imo ward will be retired by end of 17' with a loss or 2.

Nah. He won the Super Six.

Damn,that's right beer. Ward is still the best,based on what he did back in 2011. It's not like kovalev is going to murder him the moment ward steps into the ring with him.

It's convenient to call out an injured fighter in the midst of a legal dispute

PBP, I said you needed 2-3 more posts and 3 more HOF threads. The post I quoted above where there shots fired, is one of the ATG posts I feel your career needed to advance. Few will get your post I think.

They're responding exactly the way I thought they would. Hiding behind his legal problems and injuries and using these to mask his accomplishments.

We can Rank GGG, Rigondeaux, Chocolatito and others based off of potential but when it comes to Ward, its another story.

According to Ward, he was ready to fight and just waiting on an offer. He said people were using his promotional issues as an excuse to avoid him lol.
Ward and his fans need to get their **** straight and figure out which lie they're going to run with lol

Wrong on both accounts. Ward was healthy & Goosen was making deals to get him fights.

In June of 2013 Ward turned down Stevenson saying he didn't earn a shot at his title.

Instead Ward had a deal on the table with Dmitri Sartison to fight on September 2013. HBO killed it due to his high cost and had to push for him to fight a top 10 ranked SMW in La Bomba.

But let the take over begin, Hallelujah!!!

I agree Ward is going to take that number 1 spot!
