Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Hints at Comeback? At Higher Weight?

[future hendrixx]

the only coWARD here is ward. Fighting dirty on PEDs cheating and having refs and judges in his pocket. Only coWards and cheats stay in locally, NEVER FORGET THAT!!!

168 for froch (ward leftover)
168 for chavez (undisciplined pothead)
164 for ward

ggg = coward.

but but ward has no fans thats why the judges in vegas gave him a gift because hes an "american hero" lol..

If SK can put ward on the canvas with a short right hand then AJ will put him in a coma !! I can't believe Hunter would allow this fight to happen , it's suicide !!

Whats the rules regarding testing out of camp?

And can announcing your retirement be a way to dodge testing?

Having injuries is a sign of ped use and wards back acne was crazy in kova rematch.

He's gonna get hurt

Usyk is already a bigger draw in Europe than Ward is in America - which isn't saying much, tbh.

Based on what?

Based on the fact that Ward can't draw flies to shit.

ward so wants to be like his idol roy jones but he fails miserably.

roy had charisma. ward is named droopy for a reason.

roy had exciting fights. ward is known as the most boring fighter around.

roy was somewhat popular doing 600k ppv buys against ruiz and 300-400 against tarver. ward did 150k....

roy always won fair and square and when he committed a foul by hitting a guy when he was down, he was dq'd. ward is known as the dirtiest fighter around with many controversial wins/fights. he wins fights by nonstop clinching, headbutting, and low blows. roy would piss on him.

ward even tried to copy roy's style early in his career and fight with hands down but that didn't work when guys like boone and kost lit him up and almolst ko'd him. from then on it was the safety clinch...

now he wants to move up to heavy like roy did but if everything goes according to trend he will do it in a fu-cked up way that leaves no one happy but himself and his delusional look the other way fans

Were you drinking Campari when you typed that?

super six was 2009. if your theory is true that they let him have home fights to make him a star then its obvious the "plan" failed so why try to make him a star again vs kovalev? and remember ward wasn't even the favorite in the super six. what exactly did they see in him to concoct this "make him a star" plot? when the tournament started I actually picked dirrell to win. why didn't "they" try to make dirrell a star instead?

the whole theory of american judge bias is bull**** and u know it.

in 2010 kovalev was awarded a split decision vs darnell boone. in boone's hometown. in a fight kovalev was dropped (some articles even said he was dropped twice). where was the american favoritism then?? why would american judges give a russian a razor thin win over the american boone? if your theory of american judge bias holds weight kovalev will lose that fight.

you theory crumbles right there.

you cannot claim ward is a nobody with no fans and in same breath say he had judges in his pocket. sht makes no sense. wouldn't it be smarter to fix the fight for the KO artist kovalev?

I can make a stronger case for judge favoritism during ggg-jacobs. there was no way in hell judges were gonna ruin a big money clash of ggg-canelo. that theory actually actually holds weight.

What happened with Ward and Kovalev was corruption, not favouritism.

Ward's manager is a former gangster, a crook, with many shady underworld connections. His promoter had very deep pockets and was throwing money around like confetti at a wedding.

Go Ward!!! Hope he does fight one of the heavies! Not a huge fan but it would help interest in boxing!

Corruption????

You forget that it's Ward we're talking about. Everyone said Kovalev would be too big for him, then Ward made every white boxing fan cry twice, and the crying hasn't stopped since. You know that he, like Mayweather, is one of those next level technicians who could conquer one weight after another. Heavyweight is too much, but he conquers cruiserweight, that much is sure.

Why would all white boxing fans be crying, man?
