Comments Thread For: Hunter Made The Call To Pull Andre Ward From PPV

[The Hammer]

Hunter is like a mother for Ward, he never does anything wrong.

Yes, like a mother who pampers her child.

All they needed to do was take a single week off? It was Alexander ****ing Brand at 175lbs! This guy was easier work than what he was getting in sparring.

To be out of the ring as long as Andre has and to turn down easy work for $2million dollars, this doesn't necessarily add up. Maybe he wasn't getting his guarantee for this fight and used the injury as an excuse? But he could've took this fight, made some bank, and been back for a better fight in January or February. It's not like when Kelly Pavlik took a week off in his training camp for Sergio Martinez to go into the Betty Ford Clinic. Man swim in a pool for christ sakes...

A lot of you idiots are ignorant to situations if it's swelling bad it could of been something structural in knee a slight tear etc you can't get a MRI exam while swelling there have to go down to make sure it's nothing there, if he had to get surgery y'all would of been b1tching he pulled out make sure wasn't serious now maybe he can get a better opponent then brand

When the super 8 tournament happened Abraham and Froch were favorites big bad wolves ward cleaned out whole division easily. You really think he's afraid of ggg? So fighting a bigger version in Kovalev which is scheduled shows he's afraid? Haters hate

Well we know he's not afraid of GGG. Team GGG and his fans already tapped out on that one.

They use Kovalev as a protective sheath from reality.

He needs to go back to BET!

[MRBOOMER]

30 for 30 Virgil Hunter- The Andre Ward Excuse

[Jubei]

And there Ward disappears again, into irrelevance where he feels most comfortably.

What's that suppose to mean? Why so much hate? I understand the hate on Floyd because the person he appears to be out of the ring! But why Ward? Dudes a champ! Fought and beat everybody in his division! GGG Don't want the fight which I understand because he probably gets beat. I wonder if its his race or skin color? Could that be it? Or is I it that he's a threat to GGG? I really don't understand

So you finally admit Pacquiao was one armed and beat Floyd while needing surgery. Good for you, acceptance is the first step to recovery. Unfortuately, coWard's injury is fake ad requires no surgery....all it needs is for GGG to get back out of the USA.

I doubt Ward was gung-ho on fighting Alexander Brand. If he wants to prepare for Kovalev, fighting Brand is not the way to do it. The injury was really a blessing because if he fights in February some of the better contenders in LHW are free to fight Ward.
