RNS tried to make Ward-Shabranskyy. GBP turned it down?

[Larry the boss]

Well there's a German dude that's top 10 and more experienced, Fonfara, Stevenson, and Hopkins.

Fonfara, Stevenson are both with Haymon and dont fight on HBO

Hopkins is 51 and already said he will never fight Ward

[DoktorSleepless]

Yeah I kid you not, they were bringing up tweets about Ward supposedly turning him down. Obviously there were no articles but you know how that section of fans are: if you sign one fight it means your ducking everybody else automatically.

We can package that story with the one about Ward turning GGG down 3 times or something like that

That thread was classic. Motherfucking Jrosales (a retired boxingscene member) was their source.

BostonGuy we really have to do something to stop all these race related posts on here..this racial **** is beyond pathetic

That wasn't racist. You're just sensitive.

Who's "you guys". I'm talking about Ward's legit options. I don't give a f#ck about silly P4P **** or "best boxer" fantasy land nonsense. Kovalev is the best guy at 175 til he starts doing some Stevenson **** or gets beat. And there aren't many great options for Ward. Hell there aren't many great options for Kovalev either thats why he's fighting some bs guy next after fighting a guy who he already KTFO last year.

You guys - fanboys

I give a fuck about it cause it deals with boxing. If fans put a boxer on a pedestal, nothing wrong if he's up there backing it up. However, this is not the case. Ward hasn't had legit opposition in years. If he were to of fought Froch in his last fight and then Shabranskyy, then I would understand.

There is options, he's just being a diva or just doesn't want to take the risk. To be fair, he's not the only with that type of attitude.

That f*ggot probably promoted black fighters too.

The funny thing is he would suck **** today just for the opportunity to promote someone like Andre Ward.

[SUBZER0ED]

Froch
Dawson
Kessler
Abraham

none of these are big name fighters? i know you are trolling and all but try harder atleast

Those fights happened so long ago, I had to look them up.

Dawson- 2012
Froch- 2011
Abraham- 2011
Kessler-2009!

I hope the Kovalev fight does indeed take place. Ward's fame is slipping to the status of a tale from the days of yore.

Pedestal? lol. There isn't options pedestal or not. Again look at the bs guys Kovalev has been fighting. He fought a pizza delivery guy (who just got blasted out by a guy with like 8 fights), he fought a guy he'd already knocked out a year ago & now he's fighting a another bs guy in July. Thats not cuz he don't wanna fight more legit guys, thats cuz all the more legit guys are with Haymon & PBC & those fight are harder to make with the HBO/Haymon cold war or whatever is going on. And RNS has more problems cuz apparently there is a much colder war between them & Haymon. Thats just a reality of the circus like atmosphere boxing is in these days with an every man for themselves structure boxing has. Whoever wins between Kov & Ward is gonna have the same problem moving forward more then likely.

My bad, misread.

There's racist post from your Floyd/Ward group all the time. Everyone does it. Quit crying. Ignore it and move on. I'd be too busy shedding tears instead of talking boxing if I let any anti this or that comment bother me.

With all of HBO's budget woes, why even entertain fights like this? Every single months its a damn mismatch. If it wasn't for movies and programming I would've cancelled my subscription long ago.
