Comments Thread For: GGG's Coach: Liar Ward Needs To Become Relevant Again

[tiliheels]

other than 12 nerds on the internet, nobody cares about Andre Ward. And no, GGG's not going to put his career track on hold just to satisfy you. Knowledgable boxing fans understand that not every fight can be made immediately. At some point, I suspect that GGG and Ward will get it on, but whether that is in 2 months or 2 years, I really dont care.......

And even thought I think GGG puts Ward on the floor, it wont impact my life in any meaningful way whether GGG wins or loses that fight, so its not like I have some agenda and hope it doesnt happen......

caring about andre ward has nothing to do with him being a p4p/legacy fight for GGG...this is not about my feelings..this is about being a fan..

u just said u dont care about a p4p fight...tell me again why u're on boxingscene...

Honestly why is this still being entertained ? Ward is moving to lhw GGG needs to beat some people then move up himself ..

[kafkod]

Didn't he just sign a 3 fight deal with HBO at lhw ? Duva is already on record saying negotiations are going well why is most that people forget this ?

Roc and Duva are talking about it but Ward hasn't been signed yet. If he had signed, the first of those 3 fights would be on the Cotto/Canelo undercard, and nobody knows yet whether Ward will be on that card or not.

Also, the offer Roc sent to Loeffler was for Ward to fight GGG in 12/18 months time, which is the same time-frame as the 3 fights at LHW deal leading to Ward/Kovalev.

Obviously, he can't do both. Equally obviously, he hasn't agreed to the 3 fights at LHW deal yet, and I don't think he will agree to it.

Seems like the offer Roc sent to Loeffler was them hedging their bets in case Ward will not agree to the Kovalev deal.

What does this say about NSB where every fight that isn't made is because of ducking or cowardness?

I think you know EXACTLY what it says........lol

p4p fight or not, there simply is nothing entertaining about Andre Ward. Neither his persona, nor fighting style are of interest to me. Sure, he's talented, no doubt about it. But he just doesnt motivate me to be interested. Picasso was talented too, and I dont buy his stuff either.

Go ahead and call me a knuckle dragging neanderthal who only likes Gatti-Ward replays if you want. I actually like EXCITEMENT and DRAMA when I watch a fight, and Ward provides none whatsoever. He's about as exciting as a 2nd coat of paint

i tell ya this..just like i told tom on twitter and he replied..u just cant expect the true boxing public to just forget about a p4p fight..if ward ducks kovalev they wont forget that either...

true fans, not fanboys, want the best fights the highest ranked fights...we dont deal in excuses and brainwashing..

people say stuff like that when they know that a fighter can beat everyone n anyone near his size


people pull the excitement card with Rigondeaux, Ward, Mayweather, etc.....the funny thing is all 3 of the guys beat overhyped punchers and the fans saying"excitement" were silenced

they did the same to Roy Jones in the late 90's-2000's.....his fights are boring, blah blah blah but he was winning and winning easy. I like winners...oh he didn't fight nobody...naw he just made em look like nobody, he beat over 17 major title holders and several hall of famers..boxing is hit and not get hit


GGG would get Battered in my book.....Ward has all the advantages except power. Ward is waaaaaay more proven on the world class level and people act like he a scrub......why??? oh yea he isn't racking up knockouts



personally I like winners and more times than not the more versatile fighter wins barring them getting KTFO and that's GGG only hope against Ward

You do realize its the opponents and opposing trainers fault if they don't adjust to the guys that's dominating....Id want all my fights to be boring, the nsame of the game is winning not purposely getting brain damage to appease fans that are not gonna pay your bills later in life
