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

[Progrssive_Jedi]

Ward's all but admitting to his supporters what GGG fans have said all along

Ward was a LHW actively calling out a MW. To the point of throwing childish insults. Ward was straight up hating on GGG, it's that simple.

He can't make the weight NOW. He was deliberate in his approach to 175. He put on muscle slowly and weighed more each of his last three fights. He said his move to 175 would be permanent last year. Try not to take this statement out of context to revise history.

He even admitted that he couldn't make 168 which is why his comeback fight was at 172. Crappy timing.

So he struggles to make 175 now, but wanted GGG at 168 thus fall. Right!

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.

Based on the fact before he even said he was moving up he had to fight at 172. Yea, based on fact he couldn't get down to 164 for GGG, but 160 for Floyd. Sure.

Based on multiple reports at the time.

Based on fact Ward didn't want the fight to be until fall of 2016. Umm, um you know, November.

Based on the fact he now says he struggles to even make 175.

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.

What's pathetic is Ward fights. 12 rounds with Brand. Whoop, impressive.

Ward says it's not easy to make 175 today. But he didn't want GGG until this fall.

So we're supposed to believe he could make 168 this fall, but struggles at 175 now.

So what he'd do, put 20 pounds on?

Right, he wasn't ever gonna fight GGG. He was trying to save Cotto from his mandatory. Roc!

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

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

Kovalev is a bigger version of GGG? Lol

[hitking]

I have a problem with it, and I am a GGG fan. I think it's dumb for GGG, and its dumb for Kell Brook, especially since Brook is probably the best fighter at welterweight.

I don't necessarily have a problem with GGG-Brook. In a previous era, welterweight to middleweight was only a one division jump. My issue is the hypocrisy of GGG, his team, and most of his fans.

Kovalev is a bigger version of GGG? Lol

your right he isnt, kovalev has actually fought good opposition.

the fact that you would prefer to chew off your own arm rather than admit that lil'G ducked Ward..... is amusing

remember to breathe in-between slurps, won't ya ?

[aboutfkntime]

Following the Smith fight, Ward could have lost the 3.5lbs-or-so to make 168..... but no point once lil'G chickened out..... so he moved on to BIGGER and BETTER things.

[The Problem Child]

LMAO ever since GGG sent the contract for 168 he cant even make 175 anymore lol. ****ing coward.
