Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: They Pressure Me To Move Up, Not Others

[job43]

So his argument is that he doesn't want the tough fights. He fought some tough dudes and that should be enough. Okay well have with that Ward

[SugarRaRobinson]

What do you mean?

Dawson proclaimed to the world he wanted Ward at 168 , Ward didn't force sh.t . All Ward did was grant the request .

[MisterPullman]

... he was "pressed", right?

Andre Ward says he could move up to 175 soon

By Dan Ambrose: WBA/WBC super middleweight champion Andre Ward revealed that he's considering a move up to light heavyweight real soon. He feels that it’s tough for him to get big fights at super middleweight now, and will be speaking to his team about a move up in weight to 175.

Ward told Jim Lampley on his HBO Fight Game show last Saturday night "I don't think so [getting a fight with Sergio Martinez] for the moment due to the weight difference and size difference. All the talk from the Martinez camp is that Ward has to come down to 160. I think they mentioned 164. But I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to be at super middleweight. For me to get down to 160 or 164, I wouldn't be any good at it. It wouldn't be good for my career. So at the moment I don’t realistically think that fight [against Sergio Martinez] is going to be made. I think I would be very strong at the weight [175]. I'm not even the biggest super middleweight, so I know the fighters at light heavyweight would be even bigger. But I know the ideal situation is to go to 175 and not come back down. There's not a lot of options at 168. So in the coming weeks my team and I need to put our heads together and get creative in terms of what's going to be next."

I owe you two Green K's now!!

Will do when I can again.

I didn't even know Dawson could speak in complete sentences let alone proclaim to the world he wanted to move down to weight to fight Ward.

Why are you a fan of Ward? Most people don't like him. There is nothing good about him (he's whiney, selfish, dirty, boring).

Are you his brother or his wife?

Why are the fanboys of Broner and Mayweather also supporters of Ward?

Broner at least has a sense of humor and can be comical, while Ward has no redeemable qualities whatsoever.

His sterling redeemable quality is that he's a Master Craftsman !

No...

He's not even sneaky with his head butts, like Hopkins was.



Very obvious it was deliberate, but Ward had his personal referee Jack Reiss there that night to permit him to foul.

There's a video of Ward saying I quote "he said he'd come down to 168, so let's hold him to that" that was in response to Team Dawson trying to get out of it by instead suggesting a catchweight of 170. Dawson said some dumb sht right after a fight, but Ward forced him, Dawson and his team didn't want to go to 168 at all, they were asking for a catchweight at the least, but if he didn't agree to Wards demands, the fight never would have happened, because Ward is a diva.
