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

[Legendary Hater]

I knew this from the moment Virgil Hunter mentioned it at the post fight press conference.

Hearts will be broken.

Oh same here...just making official and public...

This isn't like when the Calzaghes were saying they could beat prime Wlad...those were delusions and impossible....he didn't have what Ward has...

Greened for evaluating a Ward-Joshua matchup properly!

Someone tell Ward heavyweights don't weigh 200 pound anymore they weigh 250 pounds...and if he thinks he can overcome that then he is a donk.

Don't hate the man cuz he's great.

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.

You mean kovalev....And the injuries come after stopping the PED's. kovalev is the only one of the two with an injury, his gut & his mental...LOL

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.

This is the fight game....#Lions Only!

There is not point in Usyk fighting Ward. He won't get any credit. You even have people admitting it in this thread.
There are bigger fights for Usyk if he were to win the Cruiserweight tournament.
Usyk has already said he is moving up to Heavyweight. I want to see that! I want to see Usyk challenge these bigger fighters.
Tony Bellew has expressed some interest in facing Usyk if he wins. Usyk-Bellew is a bigger fight in the UK than a Ward fight in the USA.
Almost every fight at Heavyweight would be a bigger fight than a Ward fight. Joshua, Wilder, Fury, and Parker fights will all be bigger. There are also some interesting prospects coming up at Heavyweight. That is the division Usyk should be in after the tournament. Only Bellew at Cruiserweight will make for a huge fight.

Usyk is extremely popular in the Ukraine, by the way. For those saying he doesn't draw in the Ukraine. That's laughable. He appears on the news, TV in general, and he has even appeared in films.
Usyk just doesn't mind traveling. I think he should be smarter about traveling to certain locations though.

As for Ward, if he wants to compete at Heavyweight, I would target Wilder. Wilder is easier to control.
But then Wilder would be in the same situation as Usyk.
A no win situation, so why should he take it?
Wilder already gets a ton of criticism as it is.

Honestly unless he actually announces his comeback this is just more of a tease.

I see what you are trying to do there. Just like the lil g fans saying Jermall should fight Jacobs so we only have one to worry about....LOL

What am I trying to do?
I'm just saying if he wants to target a Heavyweight Champion (Joshua/Parker or Wilder) Wilder has the more favorable style for Ward. Wilder is easier to control.
Joshua is a horrible style match for him, because of how big he is.

You trying to say I want Usyk to avoid Ward?
So I want Usyk to go up to challenge Joshua, Wilder, and Fury and all the rest of the Heavyweights, but you think I'm scared of Andre Ward????
How does that make any sense, buddy?

Oh yeah, Usyk go challenge these big fighters, but please avoid Ward!!! GTFO!

USYK WON'T GET ANY CREDIT FOR BEATING WARD!!!!
You know it and I know it. Stop with that BS.
But if you want to see then I welcome it.
Just don't cry when Ward loses!

All these cats crying about Ward-Kovalev are either butt-hurt fanboys or don’t know boxing. Trying to say the fight was stopped on low blows is ******. First of all, Kovalev was hurt from a head shot. Second of all, the shot that doubled Kovalev over was legal. Lastly, the final two shots were low.....because Kovalev broke the rules by bending below his opponent’s waist, and took it further by sitting on the ropes. Ward doesn’t have to stop throwing body shots because Kovalev is cheating.

So what you are saying is that doubling over from a body shot, then sitting on the ropes - aka "going down" - is cheating .. and that means it's ok for your opponent to start punching you in the nuts?

Yes, it’s illegal to bend below your opponent’s waist. And yes, it’s illegal to sit on he ropes. It’s the equivalent of turning you back on your opponent, then crying about getting hit in the back of the head.

Good for Ward! He knows Joshuas style is the basic powerhouse straight right up the middle against stationary fodder. It's a fight I believe Ward can win, because heavyweight "boxing" is so much more than just bulldozing.....its about SKILZ, patience, timing, and MOSTLY mental toughness!!! Wards got that!....he will frustrate the hell outta Joshua for sure!

If I ever read something as ****** as this post I am sending the poster some money so he can get help.
