Andre Ward speaks on his lack of fights!

[ross]

Its Wards constant negative tactics that have turned people off. He used to think he was Roy Jones till he got dropped and then he turned in to a cross between Hopkins and Ruiz with all the holding.

He also limits his appeal by only fighting in America.

For as poor as some think Bika is, watch the last 2 rounds of that fight bika just takes it to Ward and tries not to let him cling on like a limpet and it works. He has Ward hurt and running!

[erics44]

might sound daft but his approach to his personality or boxing persona isn't very interesting either


for a start son of god makes him sound stoopid


should call himself warrior ward or ass kicking andre or something

[Vendettos]

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter that he has no fights because no one wants to watch him anyways.

I hate his style, his boring fights and his attitude.

So yeah I don't give a shit, hope he retires.

people are such idiots here. ward is the best in the world besides mayweather hands down. it doesnt matter if his style is boring or not. as boxing fans, we should want to see him fight. i understand casual fans not caring but those claiming to be boxing fans saying that they want ward to retire and not want to watch him fight because he is boring is ludicrous. seriously. wards talent doesnt come around very often. he is actually very underrated because people think that he is boring in and out of the ring. i question if some of you are actual fans of boxing.

i love watching ward fight just like i love watching mayweather fight. i love watching any tactician fight because i love boxing, not just brawling. i agree that ward should just fight kovalev if he has the opportunity, but i do understand that if ward beats him then kovalev will just be another bum. it would probably be better for him to take a few more fights at 168 then go up and wait until kovalev, stevenson, or bhop take each other out so that ward can fight the undisputed best LHW.

ward sucks balls. he is a cheating hugging dirty & boring fighter. yeah he wins, but is it exciting to watch? fuck no. That is why no one wants to fight him. why would a fighter want to be hugged out of a victory? the refs let him get away with it. and whats this fighting only in california? if he is so great, go fight someone in another country. take a fuckin risk for gods sake.

I like Ward personally and I appreciate the problems he seems to be having with his promoter.
I also understand he wants the big fights, the big paydays, and that the respect he craves is tied to them, but he is going to have to put that aside and just start fighting.
He needs to start taking every fight he can. Ward doesn't have an especially fan friendly style, doesn't talk a lot of trash, doesn't disrespect women or visit night clubs, in other words he is a quiet, Christian family man who is a boxer. If he started fighting 3 times a year he would be getting the attention he wants and, eventually, those big fights, in my opinion.

Ward is dirty and boring. Period.
