Andre Ward Talks Canelo Álvarez, Ryan Garcia, New Book; Killing the Image, His Father's Impact +More 

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.

💯💯💯

Dope!

💯

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

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.

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

Def worth the purchase. My wife and I both have read it

He’s a scumbag

The same here 💯

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

​@@jamarmoore9548​lets 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.

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??

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!

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.

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.

Big facts

Generational curse,reacting and acting as a man that shit hit me like a truck

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.

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 👉🏾🤡🤫🤐

💯💯💯💯

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

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

You crazy they were just starting when ward beat kovalev

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

💯💯💯

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.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

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.

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.

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

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

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.

You're probably part of the problem on Oakland

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 🦆💨💨💨

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

everyone is the son of God!

Thats a lot of hate from someone that claims to be the Son of God

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....

They were 7 years younger than him. They weren't on the radar. Adonis was

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

Not stressed us out 😅

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 🦆💨💨💨

Canelo and Benavidez run Boxing 🥊👊🏽💪🏽

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.

Andre Ward is always going to hate on Canelo always😂

Canelo is a cheater so dont put him in the same sentence as Ward

@@klccostello1273 your mom is a cheater I'm probably your father 😂

The important thing ur missing that Dre said is when did Canelo fight these guys? He didn’t fight Kolalev when he was undefeated and no boxer wanted to fight him! He fought his after Dre stopped Kolalev and wasn’t the same fighter! He found an 40yr old Shane Mosley! Even GGG was in his mid 30’s when Canelo fought him!

@@cwasonga7 but the real question is did Canelo get dropped by Kovalev 😂

Youre a fan of man. Be quiet. We dont need fans like you in boxing. We wanna see the best fights, and Canelo is doing everything in his power to avoid them lol

Its because blk people can never keep the same energy

That’s what I’m sayin he contradicts himself but that’s just the hate coming out of him lol u can tell

But even when you say Mayweather picked his opponents. In those last 10 years, he fought Pacquiao, Canelo, Cotto, undefeated Ricky Hatton, Shane Mosley. Those are all first ballot hall of famers. Canelo is fighting Eurobums

@@jamarmoore9548 U forgot Canelo fought Cotto and Mosley too?

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

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
