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

[MDPopescu]

Help me out here...guy fights his 2nd fight at LHW with a contract to fight the champ at 175 in 3 months...says...I can't make 168 anymore. You then retroactively apply that statement to LAST YEAR! Quite frankly, it sounds foolish.

... actually the 3rd -- the Smith fight was also at the LHW... remember?

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.

This is exactly how I felt. Ward knew he couldn't make weight and just used his name.
Good for Ward fighting kovo.

You're right. However you and the fan boys Viscous still haven't provided anything that supports your argument. He was 171.8 on the scales when he made the offer and had not made the decision to campaign at LHW. We have seen fighters slowly lose weight after long layoffs so what reason do you have to believe Ward couldn't for a mega fight?

[Chuckguy]

Are you ******ed. He's saying he can't make 168 now not then.

He couldn't make it then either but ******s like you believe every word out of his mouth. It's like another poster put he fought once a year for five years and he had a long lay off. No way he could make 168.

So Loeffler said maybe 2017 because Ward couldn't make 168 anymore?

Couldn't make 168 based on what? I mean you're saying Ward KNEW he couldn't make 168. How do you know he knew that?

Bottom line....K2 wanted no parts of Ward.

lol yeah by fighting the bigger, better, harder punching version of GGG.

ducking ducking ducking ducking ducking - 99 percent of boxingscene members say this.

Lmao, he hadn't fought him yet. Plenty of Time for "training injuries"

[AD86]

cant decide if ggg fans are just trolling this thread or have went full ******

[TheWinners]

What a bunch of ******ed idiots we have in here. Why so many GGG fanboys? The guy is 33. Someone explain what he's done in boxing. Where are his relevant names at? Are you all really this pathetic to believe that a guy who has dominated top competitors for years and now is set to face a naturally bigger and harder puncher than him and GGG is ducking a guy who hasn't had a career defining fight? Yeah he ran from GGG to fight a bigger and harder puncher in a higher weight division. Are you really this pathetic? Meanwhile instead of facing a challenge at 160 hell even 154 GGG faces Kell Brook. Ducking? Pathetic, worthless, senseless morons lmao.

[sicko]

Why would he go back to 168, he already bulked up fully to 175

GGG Groupies stop Embarrassing yourselves! You sound like GGG Opponents who only grow a pair AFTER GGG already has a fight

[ShoulderRoll]

Are you ******ed. He's saying he can't make 168 now not then.

This is obvious to anyone with even a modicum of common sense.

But we're dealing with Lil G nuthuggers here...
