#BreakfastClub #AndreWard - Zábava
What a blessing that he had someone like Virgil and his wife caring for sog and his family.
💯💯💯
Andre Ward is probably the most articulate and fierce Boxer of all time!
He’s definitely up there one of the greatest
Nope!
@@viciousgsx1 I agree with you bro, Andre left the boxing scene to early, so because of that he does not fall in the greatest category.
ward was a piss poor underwhelming boxer, never took risks and left before the top guys took him out
@@stevenarriaga it's amazing to me that we all live in the same world...the same world, but different realities. Andre never lost a fight from a amateur through his pro career.
This dude was extra competitive... In elementary school, we used to try to be the first person to finish the multiple choice test first.
Dope!
GREAT INTERVIEW!!!! I rode with Andre his whole career
Amazing interview , this interview brought up some trauma and had me going through the motions but this is the type of content that we NEED ! thank you BC !
💯
Good interview but Ward lost me when he said he fought like a prime Roy. Ward didn’t have the athleticism, speed, reflexes or power of a Roy.
Man you are exactly right! I'm forever a fan of the man more than the boxer
🤦😂😂😂😂😂 ward a guy that's begging for a Mexican payday?? Ward had a record of 32 fights with 16 KO's that's an amateur boxing record for Mexican fighters and he retired at the age of 33 still in he's prime because he couldn't take the punches 😂😂😂 16 kO's he has no power and was a dirty fighter that fought nothing but over the edge European fighters. You can't compare canelos record to this European bum slayer that's facts
@@JayYo21 so that's what turned you of from the entire interview
All the interviews this week been amazing, breakfast club is really returning to it old self kudos to the breakfast club ❤
Ward is a legend in boxing
Amazing story.
He is a canelo hater
He fought the champions, doesn’t matter their age, they were the best of the world n he took that away from them
Dude fights in different weight class
That’s taking risk.
No one is perfect
Ward is dope
Example human being to follow 🤘🏾
Legend
No he's not a legend he retired too early how can you call someone a legend with very less fights he didn't fight no body except for Kovelev and Lost first fight to kovelev 😂
Canelo has three times the number of wins over champs than Ward and fought more champs in any category you can name over Ward, even taking out the biggest name on Ward's resume and notched up 168 undisputed as the smaller man moving up which Ward refused to attempt in all his years there. Matter of fact, Ward spent 4 straight years in his prime not facing a champ period then finally fought Kovalev but after a gift decision and lowblow win decided to pull an early retirement. Ward is even out here trying to "pad" his resume post retirement by claiming a paper win in a fight ne never took saying he would've beaten Anthony Joshua at heavyweight lol.
@@californio1850
That’s why I’m saying he’s a straight up canelo hater
@@jaggersidhu6599when he fought chad Dawson, Dawson was a killer... The boxers in the super 6 were killers, when he fought kovalev he was undefeated and very much feared and had the air of invincibility around him, ward hasn't lost a fight since he was 12 or something ridiculous like that!
Ward is an amazing fighter!
And canelo is an amazing fighter!
@@isellubuy3309 facts! Folks forget Chad Dawson
This is probably the realest conversation I've heard lately. Happy freedom, Andre!
Great Interview! This was fantastic! Ward is one of the most under appreciated fighters of the modern day.
He talks like he has a good resume
His resume is very good
🤦🏾♂️
His resume is better than a lot of guys that get praised for being HOF, example GGG, he has an overrated resume. Picked up more vacant belts that beating the actual champions, Ward beat every champion to get his belts.
@@raulelblanco781 but his resume isn’t close to the person his talking smack about .
@@santana801 ok is there a fighter that canelo beat at 168 or 175 that has a better resume than Ward then??
I'm loving all of these interviews where God is being praised
Definitely purchasing Andre book 📕 today. Been a fan for a long time. Love the sport of boxing 🥊 your story will help a lot of people in more way than one. I heard a Pastor say sometimes God take one to save ten 🔟 I heard him say that at a funeral in 2003 & I’ve never forgotten it because I continue to see exactly what he meant in so many situations over the years. Thank you brother for sharing your story. One of the greats 🥊🙏🏾♥️
Def worth the purchase. My wife and I both have read it
He’s a scumbag
It’s crazy how I am honestly on that same journey in life been on it for the past 2 years. To be able to naturally over come addiction is truly a blessing that I received recently also it is a gift. I wish there was a way to monetize showing the growth of one’s skill through having that fighters mentality to fight everyday.
The same here 💯
One of the best interviews with a boxer. No trash talk, no gutter talk.
Totally refreshing to hear Ward's perspective on life, marriage and addiction. Dre is articulate and doesn't rehash phrases or answer his own unrelated questions in every interview like Floyd Mayweather.
Very well spoken, Homie !!!!!
Check ya stomach. You might be pregnant 🤰
With Andre baby, my guy
😂😂😂😂
Sound like you a andre bucket 🪣 🤣 😂
No trash talk except for that bottled up hate against Canelo, man can never say anything positive about him LOL
Completely shitted on canelo lol
@@FMG619
He doesn’t hate canelo. He said canelo is a really good fighter. Stop neglecting that.
Thank you Andre ! It is a fight of faith.
This was an awesome interview; one that I couldn't hit pause on every 2-5 mins. IYKYK
Ward one of the few boxers I know that practically retired close to his prime when he saw bivol and Artur beterbiev coming up because one would probably outbox him and the other would stop him. Everyone who is unbiased can see that.
Did you even watch the interview? They were not even on his mind when he considered retirement
He was scared as shitt 😂
Where you get your talking points from?
@@loo5n sure they weren't it was that kovalev fight that woke his scary ass up made him realize that chin suspect
@@quebinlara4373chin suspect? He got knocked down one time in two fights.
I respect Andre Ward, but he’s been a Canelo hater and is mad that he is not as beloved as him in Boxing. You’re gonna criticize Canelo’s resume when he fought Mayweather, Cotto, Mosley, Khan, Lara, GGG, Kovalev, Kirkland, Trout, Bivol, Plant, Jacobs, etc. Look at Ward’s weak resume fighting a bunch of slow European fighters and ducked certain fighters himself. Ward got one of the most padded records in Boxing history and we all know he lost that first Kovalev fight.
Your completely wrong
HE’S DUCKING BUD AND BENAVIDEZ AND THE BIVOL REMATCH STOP CRYING BCH @$ NGA HES A DUCK 🦆💨💨💨
The fact that you mention Cotto Mosley khan and Mayweather shows that you’re a hypocrite, because none of those guys were in his weight class but he brought them up, but he refuses to fight the goat Terence Crawford😂😂😂😂😂💪🏾 because he knows BUD will do him worse than mayweather did💯
@@budgonstopCANELO Huh? Literally Cotto, Mosley and Floyd were all previous champs in the division. Matter of fact, Canelo's the one who moved down to their catchweights even though they had already been champ there. Bud's only clout chasing and trying to deflect from saying he wants no part of IBF champ Boots and also saying he's avoiding 3 belt unified champ Mell. Bud has literally only faced one reigning champ during the past half decade and looks like he's trying to make it another half decade more.
@@californio1850 DUDE YOU’RE A EFFING JOKE CANELO SCARED OF BUD THAT’S WHY HE DUCKED HIM 🦆💨💨😂😆🤣 #IT’S NOTHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT 👉🏾🤡🤫🤐
Ok I believe this was the dopest interview I’ve ever seen!!! I loved Andre Ward before as a boxer, but after this…. I am blown away by his story, strength and determination! His faith in God despite of what he went through is inspiring! I pray that one day I can meet him, and not on a fan level, but on a MAN and brother level! There’s a pastor in him that I don’t believe he knows! God bless you Andre and God bless the morning show!!!
Damn. Andre Ward’s not the first one I heard say Curtis Stevens was his rival in the amateurs. Curtis Stevens must’ve had one heck of an amateur career back in the day
Boxrec says Andre ward opponents resume doesn’t compare to canelos 😂
But yet, he still never vacated any belts. Never requested fake franchise belts to avoid any mandatories. Never tested positive for PEDs. 😂😂😂😂 he’s all the way better than canelo
@@lilsaff21 Canelo never made use of franchise status, after he unified 3 belts at 160 and Charlo rejected an offer, he moved up 2 divisions to take out Ward's top career name Kovalev and didn't need lowblows to do it then unified all four titles at 168 for undisputed which Ward refused to attempt in all his years at 168. And remains champ with a record number of defenses of any 4 belt crown unlike Ward who straight up pulled an early retirement after his Kovalev lowblow knowing it wasn't going to get any easier with Beterbiev as his mandatory.
It's also funny you'd bring up PED tests when that's only a worse look for Ward. All the evidence pointed to Canelo's innocence including the negative follicle test. It wouldn't even be a violation today under WADA which sets the Olympic standards. Meanwhile he was one of the few fighters even doing random testing then while others including Ward flat out refused to submit to random testing when challenged. Quote Ward: “Simply put I told him ‘we’re not having it’. We’re not going to be manipulated into doing random blood and urine testing. We’re not going to be bullied into doing random blood and urine testing. And he needed to understand and I wanted to send him a message right away that you are the challenger. I want you to know that now and I want you to understand that"
Dude didn't even want his urine tested lol. Even funnier, Ward then turn around and questioned his opponent for working with convicted PED dealer Victor Conte when Ward himself worked with Conte lol. Matter of fact, Ward was one of the first to prop up Conte after his conviction.
Boxrec also shows Canelos resumè is wayyyy overrated. Too many fighters that were bums or way over the hill. Canelo doesnt have a decisive victory against another currwntly great fighter. Thats really bad
@@jamarmoore9548lets talk about Floyds overrated resume since ward wants to trash canelo Floyd fought Oscar when Oscar had 6 losses and had got knocked out by Hopkins,Gatti was at the end with 6 losses, baldomir had 9 losses, Augustus had 16 losses,Mosley was 38 with 5 losses,Judah was coming off a loss who does that shit imagine canelo fighting Andrade right after Benavidez beat his ass it's the same thing,Marquez jumped up 2 weight classes to 144 catchweight and Floyd missed weight but y'all complain that canelo fought Charlo even though charlo is big for 154 and he is taller than canelo with longer reach but Floyd can bully tiny Marquez who fought as low as 118 😂 not to mention he requested to be WBA super so he can avoid Thurman as mandatory and fight Berto instead foh y'all will never admit Floyd's resume is full of fighters that had hella losses you'll just say "oh yeah he beat Oscar" but won't say Oscar was washed and had 6 losses already yet canelo fights undefeated champs or undisputed champs or guys with 1 loss and y'all come for him but defend Floyd 😂😂😂
Ward won a super 6 tournament that was pretty good. Won gold 🪙 in the Olympics. Went up in weight and won at a new weight class.
The Super 6 tournament was crazy... #SaluteSOG
Right. He wasn’t even expected to win it and dominated
The super 6 bum tournament 😂😂Andre ward don't got one great fighter on his resume only kovalev and he lost the first fight to
💯💯💯
Andre Ward is Canelos biggest fan (secretly)
lol
HE’S DUCKING BUD AND BENAVIDEZ AND THE BIVOL REMATCH STOP CRYING BCH @$ NGA HES A DUCK 🦆💨💨💨
and AJ
@@marvellousmarvin6127 you just talking
Sounds like casual talk!
This brother gave us some gems both in this interview and in general
Big facts
Generational curse,reacting and acting as a man that shit hit me like a truck
Loved this interview. Blessings to you and your family. Just got your book on audible.
That first kovalev fight was amazing , he got back up , and won that fight
💯💯💯💯
Andre Ward is an amazing man of God. Great interview!! He's super intellectual and im glad the breakfast club put him on. I hope a lot athletes and other people watch this interview or get his book. They can learn a whole lot.
Interview I did not know I needed 🙌🏽
Got alotta love for Andre and respect him as a man but he hating on Canelo and ggg. His best opponent was kovalev. His resume ain’t nowhere near Canelos.
Lmfao STOP
You're a casual and that's okay. The Super 6 was a huge deal back in the day. People were afraid to enter. But I understand. Canelo is more recent and the names no matter when Canelo fought them are more recognizable. So I get it
The truth was told about Canelo. But its ok youre a fan of man, and not the sport of boxing. You were excited when he fought Yildrim, and Billy Joe Saunders, and 50 year old GGG 😂
And he arguably lost to Kov the first fight
Finally, my brudda 👏🏾 Flowers 💐 long overdue 💪🏾
Big fan of Dre! You can tell by everyone just listening, the respect they have for him. Great interview.
Forgets the part where he retired early to avoid Bivol or Beterbiev. Never liked him.. Bias and ignorant but he was a good boxer. So shoutout to him on that aspect.
You crazy they were just starting when ward beat kovalev
One Of The Best Interviews From A Christian Of This Show.
So many boxers, athletes, and people in general can learn SO MUCH from Andre. He’s wise beyond his years and is a gem in the sports world.
Yes welcome back Breakfast Club!!!
went to church with this brother at the Well in Livermore, California. humble dude. did a computer job at his old gym on East 8th back home in East Oakland.
You're joking right, by saying he's a humble dude, he's one of the biggest Canelo haters how is that being humble😂
@sleeper4386 He a humble dude but a prideful boxer
@@ndradoh I'm sure he is prideful in himself, but the fact remains he is a Canelo hater, he spends more time hating on Canelo then actually giving him credit
@sleeper4386 I think it has to do with legacy, boxers do most of their fighting out the ring. Look how Money May fights till this day for has spot in the sport. All boxers take shots, Canelo takes em at Floyd saying he got him when he was young etc. Dre never attacks his personality just when it comes to the sport they are all sensitive
Wow...this was a top notch interview. Thoroughly enjoyed it...well done!
Nipsey was my favorite interview, until this one! Looking forward to reading his book
Nip performed at a ward fight when we went in Oakland coliseum
I remember that, I watched that fight too. One of my homeboys sat ringside. @@vale2do
First of all, I love the Breakfast Club for their guests personal content, which allows us viewers to see that celebrities are people, have life struggles etc
Lord, what an incredible story. I always say i had the worse mother of all my cousins, but stories like this one make my mother look like an angel.wow?
So when did Canelo fight GGG? He was an undefeated monster everyone was ducking and he fought him 3 times. Everyone was saying he was ducking him then too. Canelo dominated the last one. He also fought Floyd, Cotto, Jacobs, Saunders, Plant, Bivol, Charlo who were all good fighters or champions at one point. How can anyone say he fought no one? Compared to who Benavidez who fought literally no one
I think Jacobs took him 12 rounds before Canelo.
It’s not Bena fault no one wants to fight him kind of like GGG
@elfuerte6341 actually I feel GGG was a bit overrated as a monstrous puncher. He was a pretty good technician and decent power to crumble lesser opponents and keep good opponents guessing. Same is applocable to Canelo but he has more finesse and faster combinations than GGG. But none of the two are no where as monstrous or deadly finishera that Artur Beterbiev, Crawford or Inoue are in their respective divisions.
100% Benavidez's top opponent in 11 years at super middleweight is one of Canelo's leftovers. And Benavidez is the one who publicly rejected unifications and twice dropped his belt.
Charlo was massively undersized. Jacobs had already been beaten by GGG that win aged terribly when John Ryder beat Jacobs too. Cotto was over the hill after Martinez fight.
Bivol and Floyd beat him. GGG arguably beat him the first time and the third fight was when GGG was almost 40. He lost to Lara unofficially.
Canelo's best wins are Callum Smith, Kovalev, Plant, Saunders and GGG rematch (second fight).
That said, he's won titles in several weight classes so is he an all time great. Absolutely. But let's pretend he hasn't picked and choosed at times.
How is Dre gonna talk about controversial when his last 2 fights were controversial. Also his dirty fighting tactics on top of that. Make it make sense
Dirty boxing is a style of boxing. Tyson Fury, Pacman, Evander
@@ndradohhow is tyson fury dirty 🤔
@fence22 not at all. Look up "dirty boxing" definition on Google. Tyson is the best at it. It's a weird term because people would thing you are saying dirty boxer. He's not. He's a "dirty boxing" boxer. It's a style of boxing
@@ndradoh there is a difference between dirty boxing and doing illegal moves, which dre is guilty of the later. But we argue of semantics when it comes to the term dirty boxing
@@fence22Rabbit punched. SB illegal boxing punch. That's how he knocked Deontay Wilder down each time. There's a video showing it. So there's that....
Amazing interview! 🔥🔥🔥
This brother got his head in the right place
It amazes me how Ward would criticize Canelo but doesn't speak about his idol Floyd Mayweather. That never fought the number one contender. Who fought a MMA fight with a record of 0-0 who didn't fight many in their prime fighter. Looks like he is biased like when he was a commentator.
HE’S DUCKING BUD AND BENAVIDEZ AND THE BIVOL REMATCH STOP CRYING BCH @$ NGA HES A DUCK 🦆💨💨💨
He did address Floyd. Since you clearly didn't watch I'll let you know.
Floyd had at least ten yrs where he was fighting all the top ppl ( pretty boy Floyd era ) so he thinks he earned the right to be more selective as he became Money Mayweather
@@MrDaffysci no he didn't say think he said he deserves to pick and choice. Look at floyd Mayweather record earlier they were alot of nobody's in his resume then later on after He beat Corrales he started to put names in his resume. Ward trained Plant for his fight with Canelo. He criticized Canelo for not knocking out GGG cause GGG was older. Nobody knocks out GGG. Ward fought a 40 year old journeyman and he didn't knock him out, why he ain't mentioned that? After the Super Six he did nothing and he should have lost the first fight with kovalev but got a gift. Ward is a bias commentator. Look at his reaction when in the 3 Wilder vs Fury fight. Clearly he was upset cause Wilder lost. By the way he banned Canelo fans in his Social Media accounts. His true colors were came out. Enough Said.
I’m not a boxing fan but I’m from the Bay lived in Oakland half my life. Definitely can relate to his story and motivation for life. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You're probably part of the problem on Oakland
Andre Ward is an inspiration. Great interview, and deep...
Love this interview
He talks so much about GGG ducking him, he doesn’t say the same about Bivol and Beterbiev. Man left as those guys were getting known.
Ward is good, but I feel he’s bitter about how his career didn’t bring him the stardom he would’ve wanted
They were 7 years younger than him. They weren't on the radar. Adonis was
Napoleon Kaufman is a real a dedicated guy when he had his biggest game as a Raider right after the game he came to a youth conference and preached and did not want to talk about what he had just did in the game Ariel humble man
Thank you Andre alot of what your saying is hitting hard with my soul God Bless you Brother 🙏....
The fact that he made sure to say his grandfather name tell you the level of therapy this brother as done..... Much respect
We (SOME OF US) Love Andre Ward The Boxer and The Man. He Is So Humble and Genuine and Someone MANY Could Aspire to be Like. He Doesn't Mince His Feelings and He Also is Spiritually Driven and If You Disagree on My Take, You can definitely Agree He was as Skilled as it Gets.
Andre Ward is a very special person. He is a son of God. Respect.
everyone is the son of God!
Thats a lot of hate from someone that claims to be the Son of God
Great interview. Thx.
I ordered my copy!
Who ever say canelo resume is stronger than Ward 😳😃😃 I would bet my last he wouldn't make it through the tournament as a pro. And Ward would have masterfully whoop that ass.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Canelo did some questionable things but he still has a Stella resume, Ward cappin 🧢
Agree, good that Charlamange pressed him a bit on his Canelo comments. I was hoping to hear him keep it real and respectful with Canelo. I like Ward but gotta say he hates on Canelo. It’s like it hurts him to give Canelo his flowers.
@@rique106Ward said Floyd earned the right 😂 dude duck many fighters anyway lmao I can name multiple fighters Floyd ducked but it look like Dre is supporting his Brotha..so it’s hilarious
@@aguztmar1378
Name all the fighters Floyd ducked, and watch you get exploited
@@lilsaff21 lmao casual please stay away from the sport because you’re gunna defend your bf Floyd for being a hypocrite? He ducked Keith as his mandatory for years..he ducked khan,Paul Williams, Lara,martinez, GGG just to name a few… now he’s telling Crawford to do something he never did….i don’t even include Margarito cuz he’s a cheat…he definitely didn’t want no smoke with the upper coming Welterweights before he left like the Shawn’s, Spence..etc..what fighter did a Floyd beat at his absolute prime that had no losses or he didn’t have some form of an advantage..let’s see what nonsense you spew out.
@@aguztmar1378
Paul Williams said Floyd didn’t duck him. Go watch his interviews. Lara, Martinez, ggg??? Haha you’re just throwing out names just to say something. Khan and Williams were the ONLY two in Floyd’s weight class. You talking about someone being a casual haha. You can’t pull not one receipt showing any talks being mentioned with Floyd fighting those guys haha just on here rambling. When Floyd was in his “absolute” prime, he called out Mosley, Oscar and cotto. And all 3 declined with the help of Bob arum. All documented facts. You’re obviously new to boxing haha. But I can tell you ONE undefeated prime fighter Floyd cooked… CANELO!!! Floyd whooped that boy like he was his daddy haha. Nearly 40 years old and whooped that boy. That’s what you’re really mad at. This is a video about Andre ward. And you talking about Floyd haha you casual Canelo fans hate Floyd so much. It’s embarrassing lol. Stop talking boxing. Do us all a favor
Great interview and amazing person.
I remember the tournament that he won. Then after that he was going through some disagreements with his promotional company for a long time he was inactive. When he came back he lost a step and was never the same again. But a solid human being SOG
Andre Ward is the only boxer I know that retired and stayed retired
You must not know a lot of boxers lol
Marvin Hagler
@ksjb85 he got robbed by Sugar Ray Leonard but you're right
Why come back ? To lose to Beterbiev who has KO'd 100% of his opponents. Gvozdyk who retired Adonis Stevenson a guy Ward ducked @ 168 & 175. To fight his WBA mandatory Bivol the guy he says Canelo underestimated. Or worse to fight David Benavidez the guy he says Canelo is ducking. Low key Ward been campaigning for a Canelo fight to get the payday he never got
HE’S DUCKING BUD AND BENAVIDEZ AND THE BIVOL REMATCH STOP CRYING BCH @$ NGA HES A DUCK 🦆💨💨💨
Love this real raw interview. Even with some of the unnecessary questions !
Good interview
Great Podcast! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
So Mayweather can pick and choose his opponents because he earned it but Canelo can’t because he hasn’t earned it, sounds bias to me. Mayweather was notorious for getting fighters young or waiting til there pass there prime. I fck w Ward but can’t agree w his statement about Canelo.
he's hater 😂
💯 I always said the same, Maywetter ruined boxing from ducking true champs/contenders in their primes… now we have all these young heads following his fraudulent blueprint
@@HHH-db5sh 😂you didn’t start watching boxing until Floyd became a money mayweather clearly. Floyd fought more world champions than anyone in the sport. He picked Canelo too young? He was 36 and Canelo was 23. But somehow HE has the advantage? FOH. Manny supposedly was old but Floyd is 2 years older. Mosley ducked Mayweather (there’s video proof of this). Oscar did too.
Yeah he lost me talking about Canelo 😂😂
Hes actually correct about canelo.
Most refreshing interview in recent times.
Canelo and Benavidez run Boxing 🥊👊🏽💪🏽
Great interview!
One of the better interviews.
This was a fucking Super dope interview very well spoken! And good questions and answers
Bro is a canelo hater lol canelo resume is better than his by far
HE’S DUCKING BUD AND BENAVIDEZ AND THE BIVOL REMATCH STOP CRYING BCH @$ NGA HES A DUCK 🦆💨💨💨
I agree that Canelo's😅 resume is better; I love Canelo. But, skill/fight game wise, Ward would beat the brakes off of Canelo, and my comment is not derived from bias. Remember, styles make fights...Ward's style beats Canelo. Honorable mention; I felt Kovalev beat Ward in their first fight...and Ward fought dirty (low blows) in the second fight
Just bought the Book
So far it’s a phenomenal Read
Awesome interview from the champ!
He said himself towards the end of the video. "I know I can say a certain name and get a reaction. Get more clicks. That's not how I'm wired" but that's exactly what he did by name dropping Canelo. Lol.
Lol! Like all of y'all, y'all listen through y'all @ssholes! Time stamp 21:56, go listen again, with your ears this time!
They asked him about canelo dummy he answered
Canelo hate starts here. 21:58
Canelo is the 🤴
Thank you!
Cmon bro
He’s right in everything he says about Canelo, and he’s also seemingly jealous of Canelo’s popularity. Can’t blame him for that.
Ward’s disingenuous Golovkin slander is pure bitterness. Ppl that follow the sport remember how unserious that “Golovkin offer” was. This fish story keeps getting bigger and bigger, offering a fight to a fighter that already has a contracted fight is theater.
Golovkin had stated repeatedly he wanted to unify the MW division (160 lbs). Golovkin was fighting 3-4x/yr on HBO in order to keep those belts AND pursue others for unification.
Ward was fighting an avg of once every 18 months, and only after lengthy contract disputes that may fall apart at any moment, AND at a higher weight (168 lbs aka Super MW). It’s nonsensical to state GGG ducked Ward. As if Ward had anything to fear either. Dude was Hopkins/Floyd Lite, no power, lil action, just ugly pt fighting.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 dope interview
Ward stays hating on canelo cause he has surpassed his legacy. So much for an ambassador of the sport
Facts isn’t hating. Ward would’ve dominated canelo. Hints why canelo never dared to fight him. 160-175. Ward whoops canelo
Someone who knows boxing...@@lilsaff21
He definitely didnt surpass his legacy. Ward most underrated ever. Fought anyone Canelo not cut from that cloth as we can all see
So what would make you think Canelo has surpass Ward?
@@610shizz3 Fought anyone lol? His peak moment was winning the Super 6 but afterward flat out refused to unify with long reigning champ Bute unlike Canelo who unified all four titles with Benavidez being the one who took himself out of the unification picture by dropping his belt, but the dude is trying to criticize Canelo lol? Ward would end up going four straight years without fighting a champ before eventually facing Kovalev but after a gift decision and low blow win but then pulled an early retirement with only 32 fights because he knew it wasn't going to get any easier with Beterbiev as his mandatory and Bivol on the rise. Dude didn't make a lot of money prior and was inactive for much of his career yet still chose to leave legacy and money on the table when that was the time to capitalize.
This interview made me tear up and i havent shed a tear in years… andre ward 🐐
Great insight great perspective great interview!
Man yall been coming with these interviews since Fivio stressed us out … im loving these 👏🏽
Not stressed us out 😅
I gotta be honest, I was super butthurt when Andre Ward beat Chad Dawson. I’ve definitely rooted against Ward before lol. I loved Chad Dawson’s fights with Johnson and Tarver. When Ward beat Dawson, he ended an era. In hindsight, gotta respect him for that
Me too bro! As a CT native and resident, this was the ONLY time I rooted against Andre Ward.
Yeah my boy Dre put I work. 😅
Chad Dawson was a good fighter man. Too bad he was not the same after that. He went from being bad Chad to sad Chad.
Ward Whooped him… I think Chad Came down in weight to fight him too ..
If you thought that was bad what Ward did to a weight drained Chad Dawson after 10 rds. What Adonis Stevenson the real 168 & 175 Boogie Man did. He KO'd Chad Dawson @ 175 in the 1st rd with just 1 punch. And thats why Ward ducked him like Canelo is ducking Benavidez
Ward always been a nelo hater, when you see someone accomplish what you couldn’t do in your WHOLE career in one year that gotta hurt your ego big time. There’s a reason ward stayed retired 😂😂
Truth telling is not hating. Lets be honest, Canelo only gets credit because he fought GGG. and he honestly lost to GGG the first fight. The second one was controversial. He has no decisive win against another great fighter, that wasnt damn near 40. If you look at that BoxRec, Canelos resumè isnt that great
HE’S DUCKING BUD AND BENAVIDEZ AND THE BIVOL REMATCH STOP CRYING BCH @$ NGA HES A DUCK 🦆💨💨💨
Canelo is a steroid taking, running ducking coward.
@@jamarmoore9548 most people are casuals and look at names over context.
@@DHILLA-yz4rxfunny you mention context cause Floyd fought Oscar when Oscar had 6 losses and had got knocked out by Hopkins,Gatti was at the end with 6 losses, baldomir had 9 losses, Augustus had 16 losses,Mosley was 38 with 5 losses,Judah was coming off a loss who does that shit imagine canelo fighting Andrade right after Benavidez beat his ass it's the same thing,Marquez jumped up 2 weight classes to 144 catchweight and Floyd missed weight but y'all complain that canelo fought Charlo even though charlo is big for 154 and he is taller than canelo with longer reach but Floyd can bully tiny Marquez who fought as low as 118 😂 not to mention he requested to be WBA super so he can avoid Thurman as mandatory and fight Berto instead foh y'all will never admit Floyd's resume is full of fighters that had hella losses you'll just say "oh yeah he beat Oscar" but won't say Oscar was washed and had 6 losses already yet canelo fights undefeated champs or undisputed champs or guys with 1 loss and y'all come for him but defend Floyd 😂😂😂
Best interview ever!
Anybody see that Andre Ward looks like Al B. Sure‼️
The dude is a straight Canelo hater. How are you gonna mention the Pretty Boy Floyd era where he had to get it out of the mud and then say that earned him to be in The Money May era where he can fight whoever he wants, and say that shit with respect towards Floyd. Yet, it's a strike if Canelo fights who he wants at the back end of his career. Canelo already got it out of the mud. He already went at it 3 times with his biggest rival. GGG was to him what Kovelev was to Andre. Canelo is in his money may era. So why can't he get the same respect and pass he giving Floyd?
Talking about Canelo needs to take risks, shit, has he? He's 40 and Beterbeiv is 39. Yeah, there's a reason he retired. He knew that L was around the way.
Facts lol thank you, ward was ducking.
Floyd still took risks in his 30s. Canelo is the champion at 168, why can’t he defend vs Benavidez
I like Ward. He could be a role model. Not really a trash talker, lived a relatively clean life, man of God and family man…but man!! He is a Canelo hater! It’s like it hurts him to give Canelo his flowers.
Bro... dont ever Canelo to Floyd lol. Floyds first 10 years of his career alone, outdid Canelos whole career. Even when Mayweather got into position to pick fights, he fought 4 or 5 all time greats lol. Canelos been fighting white boys from Europe the last 5 years
HE’S DUCKING BUD AND BENAVIDEZ AND THE BIVOL REMATCH STOP CRYING BCH @$ NGA HES A DUCK 🦆💨💨💨
This dude wishes his resume had half the champions Canelo’s does
Canelo is mid. Got beat by an old man.
@@charlesgray2245 which old man? Regardless, that doesn’t refute my argument that Canelo’s resume is better than Ward’s.
Canelo loses to Ward
His resume is more impressive because he fought the best of the best.. you obviously don't know boxing but are just looking to spread hate so you can have ppl to talk to
We not going to disrespect Andre Ward. He is one of the greats.
Salute to Andre Ward 💪🏾 good interview 👍🏾
Great interview 😊
Andre only mentioning Canelo because its the only thing keeping him relevant. Without Canelo's name this interview would have a fraction of the views.
never heard about this young man (I really don't follow boxing like that) but what a wonderful interview. I will go and purchase his book. Bravo!! To God be the glory!!!
Andre Ward is a legend!!
Ward is speaking facts!
Andre Ward is one of the great stories of boxing.
Not really
@@alexyanez8103 Yes, because he is one of the few who got out unscathed.
@@didyouknowamazingfacts2790 yes but his recorded was padded up with poor fighters and he did lose to Kovalev the first fight
@@alexyanez8103
Padded? He fought the best of his time. You want to talk about padded records, canelo for sure. Lost to ggg twice. And every big name on his resume were guys pushing 40, if not 40 or over 40 lol. And he lost the biggest fight of his career. Ward won the biggest fight of his career. TWICE
@@lilsaff21 he fought 3 back to back prime undefeated champions, beat trout, lara and GGG, beat a young great jacobs, amd went up to weight classes to knock out the guy ward should have lost too but robbed that fight from Kovalev
What kind of shirt is Ward wearing
Salute to Andre and the brkf clb,
Great Great interview
Do y’all even know AZUMAH NELSON???That’s my Dad’s favorite boxer of all times!!!!🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
the professor 👍🏽
Carmelo’s resume surpasses Ward’s, Tank’s, Crawford’s and Bradley’s combined.
Who is Carmelo? And canelo has no legitimate prime W on his resume. All you can name is ggg. Which was one of the most controversial decisions of the time
😵💫🧐 what smh Carmelo's would have the IQ of TANK ARE CRAWFORDS FACTS THEY WOULD KICKIE ASS LIKE MAYWEATHER 😅😂😂😂😂😂
If you think canelo resume is mid , I want to know your opinion about Crawfords
Facts 😂😂
@@lilsaff21you definitely new to boxing 😂😂
Great interview
I love Andre Ward, I loved his heart in the ring, I love the fact that his Princess of a wife stuck by him, I love Black Love!!!
Here come the Cinnamon Fanclub defending their crush Ducknelo
Racist Black Americans are salty and bitter that a Mexican is the face of boxing 🥊 💯
