Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: I Feel A lot Stronger at 175-Pounds!

[elgu]

9 years on boxingscene, and that's all you can come up with ?

IF Ward fights Kovalev, and beats him..... would I be correct in calling you silly **** who doesn't know **** about boxing?

Let's wait and see.

People who talk utter ****, and then get proven wrong, become second-class citizens around here..... just like the dopey pac-stains did.

Ward himself said that he sees himself fighting at heavyweight, and he bullied Carl Froch in the ring. If those are not signs of wanting to pick on smaller men then I don't know what to say to you.

If Ward gets in with Kovalev and wins then he won, what can i do about that? But I won't believe it until I see it.

As for the swearing, that is only used by small minded ppl who can't get their point across with normal words.

Why does Ward need an injury? Being healthy hasn't stopped GGG from not fighting anyone decent.

Thats dude being ******ed, he knows damm well Ward answered that 154-168 call out. GGG swerved Ward pretty clearly. After GGGs attempts to get a few 168lbers in the ring didnt fall through Ward stepped up...Team GGG was like NOPE ....the poster Golovkin is still dealing with that. Although i will say the weight and money was a valid reason for the fight not happening.

We gotta look at it from GGGs perspective, hes a MW and if hes to give up weight and size against a 168lber they wanna be compensated....especially against a fighter as talented as Ward who wouldve most likely beat GGG. This posters lookn at Wards catchwt fight all wrong, it wasnt 172 bcuz Ward could not make 168, it was to acclimate him to the bigger wt of 175. Its all perception.

That doesnt mean GGG is not being avoided himself..bcyz he is. If we be completely objective and keep our fanship of certain fighters aside, GGG is being swerved in his own wt class. Cotto ducked him HARD, biggest duck lately in the sport and all the Cotto fans just hid behind. Ward for some reason Lol...theres no reason GGG should not get a shot at that WBC strap but he shouldnt have been taking ducking fees either.

Exactly. Just perception is all...whatever way one chooses to see it these guys are not in the same weight class. Wards ducking GGG at 160-64, GGGs ducking Ward @168...perception.

Too bad we couldnt get that fight but i understand why...wt, $$$ were valid issues at the time.

Uh no, they were not.

Hypekin said "anyone from 154-168", and he expressed interest in fighting Froch/Chavez/Degale/Jack/Hopkins/Chudinov..... AT 168.

And that fight is obviously a 50/50 split.

It is absurd to consider Mr 97k as popular enough to start dictating terms.

A real "A-side" sure..... but Hypekin is not an A-side, or even a top draw.

Why make excuses for Hypekin ?

Ward will be better at 175, I really wish all the GGG and Ward talk would end, they are in two different weight divisions and the fight never made sense. I am really looking forward to a Ward vs Kovalev fight!

A lot of hate for GGG in your post, why exactly? So he didn't want to fight Ward right now while he was trying to unify the 160 division, what's the big problem? He is one of the most humble respectful fighters out there and is damn good. Hypekin? Mr 97k what is all that about? I just don't get it.

No problem.

Now that you have committed your viewpoint in writing, we can discuss this at a later date.

Bookmarked.

The option to wait and see, with positive/constructive expectations, was also open to you..... but, let's wait and see how your "evaluation" turns out.

Ash ok, I took your other comment the wrong way.

Apologies.

It made perfect sense, and was highly anticipated when first mentioned.

Last year, Team Hypekin approached Froch/Chavez/Hopkins/Chudinov, and they also mentioned Degale and Jack..... ALL at 168.

The " only interested in middleweight " excuse surfaced immediately after Ward started calling Golovkin out.....

..... but then, immediately after Ward announced his move to 175, they started calling out Froch again.....

I couldn't find anything on Google, you have a link? The only thing I recall is an article with alleged quotes from GGG about how Ward ducked him when HBO and K2 were trying to make the fight, then like a day later GGG coming out denying that he made those comments.

There were 2 articles. First one in Russian where Ggg claimed HBO proposed the fight to both fighters with him agreeing and Ward giving some excuse. The a UK tabloid claiming Ward ducked him 3x. Gggs people denied the second one, but stood by first. Ward didn't deny
