Comments Thread For: Ward: When You Don't Have Desire, Shouldn't Be in Boxing Ring

[aboutfkntime]

You can argue that this is the case; it doesn't contradict in any way a tendency to become fed up or frustrated.

As for the time on the shelf--it was a terrible type of limbo for a fighter to be on, and not one which is unique. It has occurred from time to time; and a fighter being shelved awaiting court proceedings is always a dark spot. Also, given the time trajectory of a fighter, they are inherently in a disadvantaged position in court proceedings--their adversary can always gain leverage merely through stalling.



He got paid millions because he has a very specialized ability, in which he is in the absolute top tier of proficiency.

He is a phenom of an athlete, in professional sports. It's absolutely absurd to talk about it that way.

Yeah, he should be thankful for those millions of entitlements--not like he had to do anything difficult to earn the money. All he did was win boxing world championships in multiple divisions, while going undefeated. That's all. He should be grateful for whatever he got.

I'm afraid not, go educate yourself.

outstanding post !!

great job, you summed that up really well

you can always tell how good a fighter is by how loudly the haters cry after he retires

I have a feeling that the answer to your question has to do with the business side of boxing.

It is not like we haven't heard that a billion times before.

Ward was shelved for 2 years of his prime due to the business side of boxing.

He's willing to fight Stevenson or Bellew, but the business side of boxing has not seen those fights come to fruition.

He was seemingly somewhat close to a fight with Bellew, but the business side of boxing is more intent on Bellew-Haye. Ward was just there as a backup prom date to Bellew, in case Haye should behave like a diva as he's want to and cancel the prom appointment due to a mismatch between the color of his dress gown and that of the decor on his limousine.

Also, there are those moneyed interests in boxing which are also happy to see him gone, and I wouldn't be shocked if they even provided him with a retirement gift. (Duva, *cough *cough.)

I completely agree, I think the business side of boxing ruined many fights for Ward.

what has he left to " prove "..... ?

who is your favorite active fighter ?

I don't think that Ward has anything to prove to anyone, it's just a guy with that much talent, in my eyes could have kept moving up and winning and leaving a legacy greater than his legacy already. My favorite active fighter is Miguel Cotto and Abner Mares.

coWard the gutless yellow Turd retired to avoid GGG and Adonis.

[MDPopescu]

Ward retired on top like a true ATG. The haters will keep the Andre Ward legend alive by constantly talking about him loooooooong after retirement

... Nobody hates him...
... How might one hate a guy who manages to headbutt and low blow in one single move???
