Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Rules Out Fights at 168: '175 is Not Easy To Make'

[Ake-Dawg]

Ward was always just using GGG's name to stay relevant. Why else did he have his lawyer sent a statement to HBO that he would fight GGG before his promotional situation was even sorted out, but then once he was clear to fight again, suddenly demanded three tune-ups once it could actually happen?

The timing for the GGG fight, and the weights, was never right. But Ward says he'll fight Kovalev in November so I've got no complaints. Props to Ward for that anyway. But yeah Fl0mos were dumb to believe GGG was at fault for the Ward fight not happening.

Stop making up stuff to support your bogus argument. Loeffler confirmed that Ward's offer was for a 2016 fight with one fight in between. Loeffler didn't want the deal. Boxing Logic but limited Boxing Facts.

As I suspected for a while, Ward is a big guy. If I could guess, I'd say he walks around 190, probably the same as Kovalev.

GGG can finally fight guys @ 168 without hiding from Andre Wards shadow.

Oh but GGG ducked him at 168
Even though ware himself said he can't make that weight!
Where are all the Ward fan boys now???

Having 5 fights in 5 years doesn't help much. Inactivity usually = Gaining weight. Let's see if GGG can still make 160 if he fights once a year for the next 5 years.

GGG says he's going to move up to 168 soon and now Ward can't make 168

154-168 tho.... Like his dum trainer kept saying.. He wont be that inactive..he will keep fighting nobodies. He got the 147 division to find guys to fight now. 147-168..
(164 for Ward)

For all the dihk heads... you don't duck GGG to take a fight with Kovalev... Thats like saying i'm afraid of a german shepherd... but not a pit bull...

Moving to 168 by fighting Brook???

If that's true.. How the heck did he make 168.. And was so effective there
