Andre ward was one of my favorite fighters , even when people kept talking pacqiou and mayweather I kept thinking why don't nobody talk about this dude?

[@HunchoHamza]

Same with Bud he also wasn’t being mentioned as much as he should have back then but I hear you. They have similar careers tbh.

[@dmac1991]

That’s why he finally walked away and retired because he knew he wasn’t going to get the credit and big fights and pay he deserved! I believe bud was close to doing the same thing had not Spence went rogue on his camp and Al Haymon because he wanted to see who was the best and kept his word! If not bud certainly would’ve done what ward did and many wouldn’t have known how great Bud truly is just like many don’t know how great ward was!!! Hats off to Spence helping to make fight happen sad how he being treated by some now…. Wonder if Al Haymon gone still back him or move on away from Spence now?!?!

[@georgemayes3358]

Yea For Him To Still Have His Faculties And Still Can Articulate And Show No Mental Effects Of Boxing, Because Everytime Roy Got Knocked Out It Was Violent And He Was Out For A Long Time I Mean Put To Sleep, Every KO, But When He Was Young In The Game, He Was Whuppin n Takin All Comers, The Only Fighter I've Seen Had Hand Speed That Fast Was SRLeonard Able To Hit n Not Get Hit, So Fast He Cud Hit U Wit 2 Punches n It Sounds Like 1!!!

[@sharieffkhalifa5679]

Underrated in his boxing career and his analyst job also, I think he's great at both!💯

The sport hated him because he was a powerful boxer and he wasn't about to show off and show out. Straight up fighter. He is a legend.

Ward i will admit wasn't flashy but he was a technician in the ring.

[@BrandonTimmons-km4hi]

That's the reason why he didn't take in the US. Plus, he was dodged like no other... they finally had a middleweight tournament (which he won) because there were so many good super middleweights... they could avoid him no longer. He was the only boxer to win every match of the super middleweight tournament.

[@chrisgreen50]

Ward went through that super 6 tournament where he had no choice but to face the best in the division and dismantled them all. His lack of shit talking and antics kept him from being a household name.

[@BrandonTimmons-km4hi]

1000% true... a silent assassin. America loves a knockout artist or a brashy fighter. "They couldn't beat him" says everything you need to know about Andre Ward.... AND he retired young... didn't help his cause.

God has really blessed Roy Jones Jr......he still can articulate, his mind is still good... he didn't take too much punishment..

[@ICEMAN24072]

After Ward dismantled Chad Dawson I knew he was nice. In my opinion he lost the 1st fight to Kovalev and the ref should have let the second fight continue. That division didn't have many stand out stars

[@charlesfinnley5106]

Dawson knew Ward was a beast, and that's why Dawson wanted to fight him

[@Gruff86990]

He 100% lost the 1st fight. Soft finish in the 2nd. A lot of low blows

Ward Is A monster In the ring facts. S.O.G.

[@Udai_taxim]

All that what you said is straight 🧢 never called out Canelo and calling out GGG but Ward was a light heavyweight and they were middleweights. Lets use our brains if we gonna try to come up with arguments instead of repeating what your favorite youtube channels telling you

[@Udai_taxim]

And don't forget he had the long layoff while those 2 were making a name for themselves so don't go saying the US didn't back him. How they gonna back someone who wasn't in the picture for a good part of his career
