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

[hitking]

I just popped in to clean up all the salt that got spilled in this thread..... but problem is, I only bought a bucket

..... does anyone have a dump-truck that I could borrow, a really BIG one?

Bruuuhhh. Ward touched some souls around here. Some of these cats are like really BIG MAD. I shouldn't be surprised. I mean, I did live through the Floyd era. Where logic and rational were often absent. And female hysteria was often. But the level of emotional investment some of these cats have in this **** is just crazy to me. I seriously believe I could come home and find my ole lady in bed with another man. And not be as upset and distraught as some of these cats are about a super close, super competitive fight not going in favor of their rooting interest. I mean, being a heterosexual male that has sex on regular basis and all. I just can't relate to some of these cats on here.

Ward got em disturbed around here. Hahaha!

Either he gets his money, beats Kova again and retires undefeated or simply walks away and retires undefeated.

Either way...

Yet it was Ward who moved up to 175 when GGG talks heated up.

Riiiight. He ducked Golovkin to fight Kovalev. It all makes sense now.

[PlasterWraps]

Ah. Someone went and multiplied all the ****s I gave by 0. What a shame.

Meyweather vs De La Hoya 2

Mayweather rematched Maidana right away... Ward should do the same. ..

I can't argue with numbers, so I ain't mad at Cotto and Pacquiao for getting paid. I just think Ward has to feel some kind of way about the situation! I know I would! "Why my family not eatin' like his family?" You know it goes! It's wack, but it's real! I think Ward is dealing with the reality that even with a victory, you're just not that guy! He's probably looking at 51-year old B-Hop flipping outta ring ropes and asking himself, "Is that going to be me?"

Ward still has another 2 decades to go to start thinking about fighting at bhops age, but the fact of the matter is he dosent bring any drama to the table. Hes a boxer without ko power, dosent trash talk so people dont wanna watch his fights to see him lose, and when he does put on a boxing clinic alot of the casual fans view it as boring. I do feel bad for the guy being a gold medalist from the US and cant reap the same benifits that pac and cotto have in the country he was born and raised but thats the reality of it.

I like Andre but leaving on a win that very few actually thought was a win is weak.

Ward has every right to end his career when and how he pleases, but if he walks away now he'd just be a footnote in the history of boxing, and a lot of people would be left wondering how great he could have been.
