Let's Keep it Real...Ward Is MOST Avoided

Post by bnovelist »

Nobody....not anybody wants anything to do with Ward :OhYes: :OhYes:

GGG, Kovalev, Pascal, Hopkins, Froch, Stevenson NOBODY :OhYes: :OhYes: :OhYes:

The only man that was bold enough to call out on Andre fighting on his terms was Dawson and he hasn't been himself since! Ward is Cancer in

that ring and every name I've mentioned above are well aware of it. None of the elite P4P names actively pursues a fight with Ward, even though

he is considered the man right behind Mayweather!!!!! Ward is the #2 fighter in the world, they dont chase him around like Mayweather though lol.

Explain to Bnov how GGG, Kovalev, Stevenson, & Pascal are pursuing a fight with Ward OPENLY. Not a publicity stunt, but REALLY calling out

Ward. Get out of here with that bullsh*t Andre is the most FEARED guy in the world of boxing.

I'd say he is a very poor risk-reward ratio - he doesn't bring much to the table financially, and he's got a bloody good chance of beating them. I think he'd be too strong for GGG, and too slick for Kovalev personally, though I think he'd be run very very close by the latter.

Duh ... been saying it for years.

He's one of the rare number 1's that everyone is scared to fight.
It's not about risk/reward ... it's about fighters knowing they can't beat him.

If any top fighter from 160-175 beats Ward, they are immediately the A-side in any negotiation in the weight range.
Also, a win over Ward puts any one of them at PPV status.

Kindof makes you see the need for having a loud mouth arrogant flashy persona like Mayweather. If you're boring in the ring then try not to be boring out of it aswell, unless you dont like paydays that is.

Problem with Ward is he comes across as a goody goody twoshoes boring mother fcker.

None of it would make a difference if he would get off his ass and go into people's backyards and kick their asses.

All of this BS that everybody fears Ward is hilarious. Yeah, Dawson was a dumbass for agreeing to suck down and give Ward every advantage. It cost him a decent career.

Ward is delusional. He has zero drawing power. He brings nothing but risk to the table.

Kovalev afraid of Ward? Please. If Ward will come up to 175 and fight somewhere besides Oakland Kovalev would be happy to get in the ring with him. He's just not as stupid as Dawson.

I honestly don't think anyone of note fears Ward. They just won't agree to give the lesser draw FMJ type advantages.

It's not like Ward is cold cocking everyone with one punch. Plus he has only fought like once in the last two years so everyone is avoiding him?.

Wow.

Because they figure they may well lose the fight.

Ward may have had a long layoff, but he's amongst the most skilful fighters operating today.

I'm sure Kovalev would fight Ward at 175, and has said so but is not cutting down. Ward will only fight GGG at 168, but is on record saying he would make 160 to fight Floyd. Ward is always looking for the advantages. Too bad, they would be great fights to see.
