Andre Ward, All Wrong for Boxing

[Baltimore]

Mikey Garcia's inactivity, Gamboa's, not a peep.

People don't claim those two to be p4p #1 and constantly claim they will "school" other popular fighters. Those two are given the treatment that inactive fighters should get (in terms of talking about them in the current boxing landscape), "not a peep" until they actually start fighting again

.... Ward is favored to win by a 2-1 margin

Of course he's favored, because he doesn't fight at all... one cannot miss betting on somebody one knows for sure he doesn't fight whatsoever.

All of this might be true, but on this very page there is a thread about Ward vs the ever popular g string. Guess what, Ward is favored to win by a 2-1 margin

A physically bigger fighter is favored to win??

Woh!! Never seen that before!!

Huge respect for Andrew Ward after Super Six. I said he would win it after beating Kessler in the first fight for him...

However, like all sports, if you aren't active, you aren't relevant.

Mikey Garcia's inactivity, Gamboa's, not a peep.

Garcia had made hype and no hardly any talk of him...

[ShoulderRoll]

Boxing needs more guys like Andre Ward. It also needs more boxers with different styles.

The more variety the better.

[just the facts]

Of course he's favored, because he doesn't fight at all... one cannot miss betting on somebody one knows for sure he doesn't fight whatsoever.

or maybe the largest percentage of posters on NSB believe Ward is the superior fighter.

Just read this article by Listen from Boxing News 24

"Andre Ward, American boxer, with a current record of (28-0) is all wrong for boxing. Ward the last American gold medalist has yet to garner the respect from the boxing public. Most casual fans of boxing in the state of California let alone the world wouldn’t notice the current P4P ranked #4 rated boxing champion if he happened to pass by. Most hardcore fans of the sweet science would more than likely heckle Ward for his constant inactivity and perceived prima donna perception if given the chance..."

Too inactive and not very popular?

ESB is called ******** boxing for a reason. It means east side of the Atlantic. No surprise that some butthurt Froch or Kessler fan would post something like that. Happens all the time over there.

175 (172) pound boxer against a 160 pound boxer. So......why wouldn't the 175 pound guy be the favorite again?

No schit, right?
