Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Announces His Retirement From Boxing

[aboutfkntime]

I can't stand you either. You're an idiot.

It was factually incorrect. So I addressed that point.

I don't feel I made a fool of myself and ended up having a decent conversation with him.

Kell Brook weighed more at the weigh ins, but that doesn't necessarily make him "the bigger man". GGG was taller with a bigger frame. It showed in the fight.

he was a welterweight, you muppet

his last fight was 147

as-in..... his body COULD make 147..... and his body was conditioned, to making 147

anyone who thought that Brook was bigger than Golovkin, for ANY reason..... is a kermit-the-frog level muppet

wow, 37 pages..... who woulda thought Ward was so popular


it is great that all the Ward fans turned up to congratulate him on his phenomenal HOF career


oh, and it is also great that all the heartbroken girlfriends of the fighters he spanked also showed up to demonstrate their respect for the man

Liiiiisten, Brenda…I know you’re still upset about that boy not asking you to the prom a few months ago, but your misplaced anger is spilling over into a place where people enjoy having opinions and discourse about boxing. It’s all subjective, wouldn’t you agree? I’m sure a smart gal like you knows that. So why don’t cha go blow off some steam and get that pink volkswagen convertible out of the garage your daddy bought you for almost making the cheerleading squad again this year, put the top down and go catch some cat calls from the construction workers? Huh? Huh? Off ya go!

haha good one. saying happy travels to ward. a guy who never traveled in his career. green k!

I’m happy for him, great fighter, did it for the Bay, overcame a lot of obstacles, fought for his monies, his rights, his future, wasn’t a sucker, under appreacited but couldn’t be touched, one of the best of this last generation, ill miss watching him fight but I’m glad he’s leaving in his terms healthy and intact

I can see reading isn't your strong point. Did you just read Brook weighed more, and decide to run with that? It's obvious you didn't understand when i said GGG was taller with the bigger frame.

That means he's bigger, idiot

This is shocking news and I'm upset that Ward is retiring as I'm a fan of him, but if he feels this is the best thing to do then that's cool. Ward is a legend and an absolute gentleman, he's one of the best role models out there I respect him a lot. I hope he continues his success and he'll definitely will still be doing great.

I don't see why he wouldn't just beat Adonis Stevenson and officially clear out LHW? That would be the finishing touch to the legacy IMHO.

Obviously complete up to him on what he wants to do. Just from a fans perspective there is a little bit of (probably not too difficult) unfinished business.

If he can beat Kovalev then he can definitely beat Stevenson. Stevenson basically has 1 punch to watch out for, easy work for Ward. I suppose he has to be motivated though.

perhaps it was your reluctance to use a single-word reply to a very obvious question

you are an idiot if you think Kell Brook was anything other than a welter, no matter what he weighed a few weeks after participating in a WELTERWEIGHT contest at 147

and you are an idiot if you think that Canelo was anything other than an entitled unprofessional JMW when he weighed 155.....

you guys went full-******, and fell about the place looking for silly excuses to explain why Mr "anyone from 154-168" refused to back up his big mouth and shat the bed over weight

..... so you decided to call 1 pound an entire division.... you boxingscene lawyers tried to get your bigmouth "154-168" client off on a technicality for ****ting the bed over weight, but that myth was busted when Canelo won the WBC title at 154

stop your nonsense

it doesn't work like that

especially not against a one-puncher like Stevenson

yea I'm a bit disappointed as well

you're right about the motivation

that incredible confidence was one of Ward's best assets, but that comes from self-belief and the knowledge that you are on your game and doing everything right

There's no need to really try to carry on a conversation with you since anything more than a one word answer will only confuse you. If "Golovkin was taller with a bigger frame " confuses you, then we need not speak
