Comments Thread For: Andre Ward-Alexander Brand on Cotto-Canelo PPV

[bronx7]

You can't laugh at ward he laughs at you. He won the super 8 easy cleaned out a whole division. Was out of boxing 2 years trying to shed rust wanted ggg but now will be fighting a bigger stronger ggg Kovalev what part is funny? He was the number 2 pfp to mayweather for years. May can fight Berto but ward needing work can't fight tuneups before a killer Kovalev haters

Dawson called out Ward, so how did Ward force him to do anything? He could have called him out at 175 and Ward could have declined. Instead, he called him out at 168 and said weight was no problem, and then complained after he got beat.

Did you watch the video.

Even Ward said for the right price boxers do things. They wanted a CW, said it before the fight at the press conference.

It matters because:

• You seem to be hung up on how much Canelo rehydrates to.
• On January 21, 2015 GGG was 172lb. 30 days before the Murray fight. http://******.craveonline.com/news/3...tin-murray-169
• I've asked you this two times before and you didn't bother to respond.

I don't believe GGG is as small as you would like us to believe.

I didn't bother because this is well known information. Even Ring Magazines Dougies Monday Mailbag mentions it this week.

You just proved my point. GGG was 172.

Canelo came in at 174 against Angulo.

GGG is 5'10 172 at max

Canelo is 5'9. 174 at max

Ward is 6' 185-190

Still tuning up I guess

Alexander Brand doe

Who realistically were they going to get for the undercard of a PPV where the top 3 stars are being heavily paid?

And of course I was referring to the Kovalev fight. It's great to see two real fighters wanting to get in the ring with each other to prove who the best in the world is whilst that con artist stays at 160 and continues to dupe morons like you.

[i'm a fun haver]

And then Bute got destroyed by Froch. Do you seriously believe that Bute would have been any sort of a challenge for Froch, or do you just need something to nitpick?

Dawson called out Ward after dominating B-Hop, and plainly said that he could get down to 168 with no problems. Post whatever you like, but that's what happened, and no amount of spin doctoring will change that.

Then why didn't Ward want any part of Bute? lol
Froch fought Bute AFTER the S6 final...when Bute was still undefeated, still had the IBF belt and was still #2 at SMW.
We know what Froch did to Bute in hindsight. Froch fought Bute because Ward didn't want to fight Bute.
Ward turned into a promoter/manager in the S6 final post fight interview and talked his way out of completely cleaning out his division.

Watch Ward's team go ape **** in that press conference video when Dawson and Shaw start talking about who's idea the catchweight really was lol.

So to recap:
Ward didn't want any part of completely cleaning out his division, he chose to fight the LHW champ...at SMW lol
Any normal person would look at that and be able to figure out all they need to know about Andre Ward.

It all leads to a Kovalev showdown.. I'm cool with it.

Did you watch Dawson's post fight interview after Hopkins?

KELLERMAN: You are now once again the light heavyweight champion of the world. You've gotten rid of all the old fighters in the division but there's some new interesting young fighters here. Any interest you in particular?

DAWSON: I mean I would love a fight with Andre Ward. I mean I think that would make for a great fight.

KELLERMAN: Super middleweight champion.

DAWSON: Super middleweight champion. I could make 168 or we could do it at 175 —a catch weight— it don't matter to me. I wanna make my statement known. I want everybody to know who I am. I wanna go after the big dogs.

On the catchweight:

Dawson, who will be coming down from 175 lbs to fight Ward at 168 lbs, says he has no problem with making weight for the fight, but he just wanted to see if a catchweight was possible. It wasn’t.

Dawson said “We wanted to do a catchweight at 170, but they threw it out the window. They said ‘no.’ We can’t make the fight unless it’s 168 pounds. The weight don’t bother me; the fight in Ward’s backyard don’t bother me.”

Spin it as much as you like. Dawson said throughout the buildup to the fight that 168 wasn't an issue, and agreed to fight Ward there. He wanted a catchweight, Ward declined, and he chose to take the fight at 168. If he didn't want to fight at 168, he shouldn't have made it an option, period. No one would have blamed him for not dropping a full weight division to fight #2 P4P Ward at his weight.

This right here. This is what actually happened, but they get that selective memory.


On a side note......

Boooooo why not agnew?

So the nsac approved this fight, but not the other? I was thinking they would approve the agnew one only.

[DoubleStandar]

Ward fights 2 tune ups and is a bad thing? GGG been fighting tune ups his whole career. Hes never steped up competition while ward has whooped his
