The Rise and Fall of Andre Ward

[bigjavi973]

Interesting article discussing how Andre Ward has somewhat fallen off since beating Froch and raises some good points of where should he go next.

1) Can he still be considered the A side in negotiations?
2) Will he travel?
3) We need a big fight now! No more mismatches

"Ward has yet to become a crossover PPV star and refuses to travel out of Oakland which has made the big fights hard to materialise. With the Froch rematch, Ward was reluctant to come to the UK even though Froch had established himself as a PPV star and scored an impressive KO over super middleweight prospect George Groves in the biggest ever British PPV fight in front of a sold out Wembley crowd."

I stopped reading there.....

Ward haters have always been the most miserable c#%ts because he doesn't fold. Not morally, mentally, or in the ring. He was a big underdog in the Super 6 and rolled through everyone. He was in a massive contact dispute and stuck to his principles to defend his friend. He made it through that without folding. Now, Kkk fans are furious because they know their fanclub membership expires late 2016.

I hope that's a typo

Why the hate on Ward, why hate any boxer

Even Broner why the hate

But Ward, good guy, he fights decent, he wiped out the 168, most of yall arent really boxing fans, just cheerleaders

Im guessing there new to the sport n they see i as a team n not a man vs man in a square circle fighting for themselves

Who cares about PPV star status n defending ur girl crush, its about fighting, they can make there demands cause thats there business, but why do yall argue about it lol

Golovkin isn't going to fight him and He's planning on fighting bums till he faces Kovalev from the looks of it. Don't care for Ward until that fight happens.

The fall where is he ranked p4p ? He just signed a 3 fight deal with HBO ..He is fine his resume is better than triple ducks and Kovalev's combined ..Don't see where he's fallen to ..He's been inactive yes but that's in the past ..

He had a hometown cooking ref vs kessler
And fouled kessler over and over.

Hometown fights ,never went on the road in a tournament.

he declined to fight the next stage because it was supposedly his friend.

He hasnt earned his current p4p spot.

And that fighter you speak of has took over 175 pound division with hard work.
Im not a kkk member and i think kovalev is gonna beat ward up if they ever fight. By the time he fights kovalev it will have been over 4 years since he beat a top 10 opponent.

no big secret how you REALLY feel...........

(sad thing is you probably believe that its the GGG and Kov fans who are the racists)

He also believes that Ward is going to KO Krusher.

He was actually the slight favourite by the time the Kessler fight rolled in. Then again it was just a poll in showtimes site I think, but it's something.

He wasn't a "massive" underdog, Most of the guys in the super six weren't even killers, but the tournament itself made them something more to be brutally honest.

Kessler was the most proven having fought Calzaghe, Abraham was the hype coming from middleweight.
