I think its about time Andre ward plays heel and get ppv #s up going forward

[therealpugilist]

Dudes very respectful and classy

He usually takes the high road and tries to be PC

I thank its time he embrace the roll as heel

When he does trash talk ita usually involving facts and he is articulate

Take it out on your detractors in the ring and laugh all the way to the bank like Floyd did

Everyone is not gonna get embraced like Leonard, beloved like Gatti or respected like McCallum

That good guy role has reached its expiration date.

He is funny, factual and can back it up . .look @ his resume

[Thraxox]

Not really because Floyd has a legacy and ward wil be remembered with the gift.

[SensFullViolenc]

Ward is way to corny to try and play heel.

And this is coming from an Oakland resident who really wants to support him, but at this stage just wants him to STFU and make good fights.

I don't care who's winning the negotiations, I don't care if you're upset that the media (correctly) reports that you lost, I don't want to hear any whining about lack of respect from HBO, etc etc.

Ive heard too much of that already, it was boring the first dozen times and its still boring.

Schedule the rematch -- or hell, fight any good LWH (not Brand or Barrere), and I'll watch. Otherwise, zzzzzzzz.

Only people saying gift or robbery are those who wanted to see him lose


That record is past broke bro....

Floyd had hall of fame resume by 2007 n still went another decade being called or coward, diva, this and that....since his career is over people have to come to grips that he was the best

[RespekonMyName]

I think he's already a heel after that Kovalev decision judging by what I've seen.

[Gonzalez_Boxing]

Maybe, but I'm not sure he knows how to play the heel. He's been coming off a bit whiney and entitled.

You are wrong about that. I thought he lost (by a round and the point from the knockdown) and all I was hoping for was a good scrap which it was. Ive always respected Andres skills and for moving up to challenge Kovalev. That said he is acting like a spoiled brat, Floyd would have already made the rematch if there was doubt. I mean, if it was you would you want to erase doubt or posture like a woman and talk about who has control.

By the way, I dont call it a gift or a robbery. Im not mad at anyone who calls it either way but he needs to honor the rematch clause and get back in the ring.

I dunno, I always respected Ward for not giving in. He's had to know his whole career hate makes more money for **********.

Mendoza started it in like the 1790s I reckon. Promoting his ***ishness in England during an anti semitic era.

On one side I've a lot of respect for Mendoza manipulating the mindless hate into making him richer, but on the other hand I feel like he danced his *** dance for the hateful man no different than a monkey on a leash.

I won't hate if he did, but I certainly respect how he conducts himself presently.
