- www.HustleBoss.com was on hand inside of the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nev. as former super middleweight world champion Andre Ward speaks to the media about his respect for Floyd Mayweather, his thoughts on dealing with the media, and more.
Ward does not talk a lot but when he talks he says the whole truth. I like him.
Big props to Andre Ward for telling the truth about the way the media treats Floyd Mayweather, he has to speak out because the media will continue to disrespect Ward if he let's them.
brilliant observations from Andre Ward. MUCH RESPECT
Very eloquent speech Andre. Beautiful my brother. Acknowledge greatness. I already miss Floyd Mayweather and its only been 4 months! That man is incredible to watch, *if you know what you're watching*. TBE..literally.
Yes. The cerebral type know.
BIG UP to Ward!!! ☝
ward is going to go down as a top 5
Much respect to Andre Ward for being man enough to be humble and speak the truth respectfully about Floyd. Paying homage to our veterans does not diminish a real man's legacy
His honesty is as good as his boxing. Andre is a legend
Thank you for pushing back Andre Ward!!!
Boxing will miss two of our greatest living legends in any era Floyd Weather & Andrea Ward, I hope the younger fighters are taking notes.
This man spoke the whole entire TRUTH!!!
Were in nov.2016 and we still dont miss floyd
I have mad respect for A ward,mainly for his boxing skills,his public humility during interviews, and the way the way takes care his family. I'd love to meet the brother,do some sparring for instructional purposes,and just chop it up. He is one of the best in this era.
awsome words he had there much respect fighting is not who I am its what I do Im secure in who I am🙌
Best pound for pound fighter since Floyd retired. Spoke the truth
+xKid Kidx yeah fighting Paul Smith at Light Heavyweight just put him on Top of the list. Cant argue with that.
+xKid Kidx What did he do? knockout a drained Chad Dawson in 2012? what has he done since then?
+George Havenhand- Dawson called him out
H1GHD3FF Oh wow, that makes it all the better that Dawson was drained and knocked out in sparring before the fight.
George Havenhand Nobody told Dawson to sign that contract. If Dawson felt that way he should have stayed home
Skill for skill I seen noone on Floyds level. He finds range and timing better than all fighters before him because he studied them. Even George Foreman agrees with Floyd being the best to ever do it.Top 5 lists are all opinion and subjective but he has to be on every list.. WATCH HIS BEST OF (FIGHT 1 THROUGH 46) bet you come away with a changed mind.
I agree with Andre ward whole heartily about Floyd may one of my favorite fighters of all time My money on Floyd all day I miss him already want him to stay flawless dough
Everything Andre Ward said was on point but you know what..for the media and "casual" fans its in one ear and out the next. I'm really hoping this is Wards year he is an excellent fighter and a good dude. Real fans have to big up these kind of fighters and create a buzz because the media is not looking for a "real" story and a real person especially if he's black. For a brother in this era, he's not marketable unless he's acting like a clown with 100 gold chains. It wasn't like that before but that's this era.
he speaks the truth
Ward spoke REAL talk with this interview! Floyd Mayweather brings in the CASH for fights cause people want to see him. Media kills me when they talk trash about GREATNESS who is Mayweather the G.O.A.T pound for pound! TMT all the way!
legend.
That's some Real right there
nothing but the truth nothing but the truth real talk 💯👊
SCHOOL em Ward they don't like you saying this but your a REALEST so the only thing u know how to do is to keep it REAL!!!!!!
anybody has an opinion.. but my Legwnd is pacman a true gladiator inside that ring killed or get killed type of attitude never have a dull moment inside that ring blood sweat and tears..
Nobody cares who you are Andre Ward. Nobody cares about your aches and pains Andre Ward. Nobody cares about the wear and tear on your body Andre Ward. Nobody cares about the hundreds of miles you've ran or hundreds of rounds you've sparred Andre Ward. Nobody cares if your the best super middleweight in the world/world champion Andre Ward. Nobody cares about the sacrifices you've made........Andre Ward
Do YOU have what it takes to endure this?........
yet you watched the video and commented on it so you do care.
+DaGreenEyedBastard Well said!
Who's nobody you referring to? what group of people you're talking about!
That's why I don't play pool anymore it's a racist game lol . Think about the concept
U do he's # 2 in the world
TRUTH!!!! There only be 1
Floyd is the truth period and the best to put gloves on and no one can prove otherwise on or off paper.
TRUTH BEING SPOKEN!!!!!!! HATERS HATE ON!!!!!!!!
Dam good post
WOW. I CAN'T BELIEVE WARD RISKED HIS CAREER TO TELL THE TRUTH LIKE THAT. I HAVE A NEW RESPECT FOR HIM. NO 1 P4P...
100!!!
people dislike real talk. it is very possible to be to real for someone. my favorite rapper is trae the truth. not many people listen to him he too real. if you want search ( trae all I need) comment back if u want some real reality song trae
AMEN,
Ironic how Ward is complaining about the boxing media here, but 4 years later, he's one of them -- pushing bogus narratives and talking out of all seven sides of his mouth.
Lol everyone's going to miss Floyd this dude needs to be a comedian
yet you decided to watch this video !!!
+Paul Williams watched video cause was hoping he would talk shit about that marathon runner read the title of the video jackass
+Jose Gomez Jose Gomez huh... sound hispanic/latino and I know ya'll don't get along with Floyd #Marquez #DeLaHoya #Canelo #Maidana #etc sorry for your loss...es
+Jose Gomez loser..
So sad to see these Black boxers having to explain themselves and defend themselves to white women and men in the media.
These Black boxers have been the entire sport. These media people don't even have jobs if not for these guys. They would have to go and get jobs if not for these Black boxers that they continually bash.
Feel how u may every fight is a dangeroous one. Mostly all the greats lost to lesser opponents or maybe it wasn't their night. A loss is a loss..
Only thing Andre is Floyd didn't fight the fights the public wanted to see in his prime against other heavy hitters in his weight division ..
Well thats bs pretty boy floyd was calling out everybody. I'm so sick of ppl saying he didn't fight anyone in their prime stop it. Go watch who ducked floyd mayweather then come talk to me. Oscar waited,mosley waited, manny made excuses, costa wouldn't even consider it. So really do your research. Everyone ducked that man until the checks got bigger. Fight pretty boy floyd had too much to lose....fight money mayweather get a check and so what if u lose the crowd will love you for fighting floyd anyway and make excuses for ur loss. U get it now.
true story
man you all sound crazy, define prime...so when Manny Paquaio fought them there prime wasn't talked of and he fought them much later
Laila Ali said Floyd a better boxer then her dad....Sugar Ray Leonard own brother that was in his corner told him Floyd would beat him
I ve learned defense and body shots watching floyd fights...they r iportent,watcing floyd fights make u more smart in that ring, u dont get hit with silly shots..
i hope andre ward does something with his career bcoz he is a major talent like floyd but floyd always knew how to make aka hype fights and he was active ward has no gameplan outside the ring
Super disappointed in you Ward. How can you say that you idolize Gayweather, when he ducked so many great fighters during their prime, he mostly ran inside the ring, and on top of that he chose the referee and judges. Gayweather damaged the sport of boxing.
I'm tired of ppl bashing on fighters who only want to let the ppl know what's real. how can you call yourself a fan if you don't like the person for which these fighters not only fight for the fan sake but for there children that they can afford to take care of and to give back to the community you bums
Ward come on man. I wish you was fight on this card tonight. I bought this fight any way. fuck man. lets go. for a guy who don't drink don't smoke come on man. don't be a D rose for boxing
Dre would beat the Brakes off Golovkin please know that! ...Golovkin don't wanna see,Danny Jacobss,Erislandy Lara ,or Charlo twnz !
why is Andre trying to Mimick Floyd?
trae let me live. ..
slab leave the game
slab life as a thug
scarface life' been good
trae listen to trae
my goodness if you make 100s of million over a few fights everyone is going to hate you not because you are black but because you are rich. A ton of black people hate Floyd too. Since McGregor started to make money his hate is starting to a grow too its normal
Andre Ward would smash GGG!!!! EasyWork!!!
is that all u saw when it came to mayweather Laura " u obviously don't know shit about boxing "
n it Will joe
Yes they do Andrea ward is a Man and a true Boxing if you do not like him who cares you are a joke in my eyes. Floyd mayweather is the Best in Boxing History Hands Down. Can you do what Floyd mayweather do day in and day out for 19 years. I do not thinks so. It is hard to do what Floyd mayweather do his Shoe are to hard to walk in. Floyd mayweather is the Best Ever in Boxing History Hands Down? ????????????
Floyds friends will always back him and that's how it should be. However, floyd fought hatton at HOME not in europe and with cortez as a ref. He blew him him up to an unaccustomed weight! He did fight champions BUT NOT WHEN THEY WERE IN THEIR PRIME! Or Not at their accustomed weight class! Apart form maidana and castillo and we all know what happened there..he lost one and drew one imo.. Having said that.. floyd is a great boxer, very smart too, defensively one of the greats..yes..but you gotta be real man! He won't go down with Ali and Sugar ray robinson or ray leonard no matter how much people try..but never the less floyd is a boxing great...
Real Man? I thought you had to be just a man in general to go in that ring rather you win or lose. I love me some Sugar Ray And Hearns and Hagler but I think he would have beat both and I know that statement alone can draw some criticisms and that's cool. I never seen them fight a fighter like Floyd but I've seen Floyd fight more people like Hagler then him actually fight someone like Hearns or Ray and with that base of style I think he would have beaten all three. I do believe Hearns would propose more of a problem base off height and reach.
real man? i said you gotta be real..first of all floyd didnt like guys his height or taller who could match him in foot and hand speed..he had all kiinds of problems with oscar..he ducked khan for maidana twice and berto even though that meant less money.. he would have avoided sugar ray leonard and hearns in their prime..floyd relied on reach and fast feet as well as holding on the inside to get points cos he had no good inside game..srl and hearns would neutralise those things floyd relies on...you gotta understand the game..hagler was too big for floyd..and he wouldnt have drained himself for floyd he was too proud..in fact it is floyd who is copying haglers style..goatee bald head..physique..
+Imran Ali So... you saying that Judah didn't match his hand speed? Fuck are you talking about clown?
Floyd fought Hatton in Europe and all that talk about prime in age crap is ridiculous. Give the guy his props and leave it at that
+Imran Ali You are a idiot, Floyd fights fighters past their prime? So now Floyd never ages. When he fought pacquiao both are old. Floyd fought Castillo, and Corales who was way taller and undefeated.
Floyd ain't shit. he's good enough for a very weak time in boxing. who would you rather see fight Floyd or sugar ray or haggle or Duran hell I would rather see pacaio. because they are true in heart and relentless in showing who is better with fists and not talking
Guy wants some of the Mayweather money but Ward has zero charisma. Who wants to see him fight? Only time i will tune in if Kovalev takes his head clean off. Next!
+Genjuro77 disagree about the charisma part...
Joe that cause it hasn't marinated in u yet n it woll
floyd mayweather would beat the shit out of ward. ward is barely better than adrien Broner
jesus hernandez Just calm down
is that a girl shirt lol
When is this clown fighting again?
