Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: I Don't Have To Fight Anymore, I Accomplished Everything

[mexicanstyle]

Ward saw how close he was 2 losing he got floored he even had doubts if he did enough to win,when the dec.came he was so relieved hes never hzd a fight where at the end he didnt know if hed done enough to win so for a remat,h he wants lots of dough bcauxe he knows hes going to be in tougher than b4 hes starting that inevitable decline and this fight the rematch could easily go to kovalev and force a trilogy and to beat kovalev again its going to take a lot hes just putting everything on a balance

He knows he got beat down

Ward knows damn well that his fight didn't generate a lot if money and that no one is gongs pay him extra.

Cowardly fraud

Typical of his kind

His kind?

The quicker he leaves this sport the better and then there will be one less diva bytching...the fight sold 160k and many who bought were SK fans too, probably a 50-50 split...devout Christian? Sued his dying promoter, ignoring a contract he signed which included a re match clause...holding out to get paid even more $$ then on 11/19 even though his promoter lost and did not make anything..this guy is a phony, just because he has SOG painted on his trunks this does not make him a devout Christian. The fans are not naive, how does he show love to the fans? SOG has one narrative to his life..."Feel sorry for me"

December 4, 2016:

It seems that Cotto isn’t interested in making any more fights that would enhance his legacy. What interests Cotto is making money. With Cotto not interested in making good fights, do fans still care to see him back in the ring?

With Floyd Mayweather retiring and Manny Pacquiao in the twilight of his career, fans have become more invested in the new generation of boxing. Cotto represents the old model of boxing where fans have to buy a PPV in order to see the biggest stars fight. With Cotto’s guarantee being $15 million per fight, there’s little chance that he won’t be on PPV. Cotto-Kirkland will be an exciting fight if it takes place without question. However, it holds no significance but to line Cotto’s pockets with money. It may be better for fans and Cotto himself who has already punched his ticket into Canastota to retire.

I only bring this up to show that Ward and Cotto are contemporaries, and they are signed to the same company. One of them is undefeated, now at 2 weight classes. The other has lost to Pacquiao, Mayweather, and Austin Trout. One is facing "The Krusher!" The other is facing James Kirkland. One is getting $5 million, and the other is getting $15 million. Maybe, just maybe, Ward is trying to re-negotiate his deal?

Bro, ok, then ****in vacate the belts so Kovalev can get them again, YOURE GARBAGE!!! FIGHTERS DONT SAY THAT. WHy is pacquiao fighting still and you not??? CUZ U WACK BRO U LOST!!!

[HandsofIron]

how about you rematch kovalev you god damn thief.

how you gonna take a champ's belt by backing up the entire night, got knocked down, while scoring no knockdowns or deductions on your opponent and your face being all marked up at the end of the night while your opponent's face is LITERALLY UNMARKED???



american CIA at the behest of president ***** influenced the judges....

this was a modern day cold war sabotage robbery.

thanks *****.

Yeah, Ward also got hurt by a jab in the first round and hurt to the body badly in one of the later rounds, had him back-peddling.

[HandsofIron]

Ward's got to stop acting like a girl and do the rematch.

[rongizzle]

Boxing Scene has the most haters out of any other boxing website. Ward won. He can do what the hell he wants. He beat the "Krusher". If Kovalev was better then he would've got the KO. But he didn't. Ward won't get a bigger payday than that unless GGG stops being a b*tch and fights him.

[Thraxox]

Please name one legitimate fight that Floyd ducked, let alone retired to duck. Note: Golovkin is not a legitimate fight!

Paul Williams, Prime Antonio Margo, Prime Miguel Cotto. Then came back after the Welterweights beat each other up to fight a lightweight.

[Raonic]

If you're going to retire then go ahead. Otherwise, give Kovalev his rematch.

[mick1303]

Miranda, Bika and barerra are not names that get you in the HOF. The others are good names

You can't credit him for Dawson win as if this was the same Dawson who beat Hop. Dawson was so drained, it destroyed him. No credit to Ward for this win.
