Ward talking facts... haters don't want to admit. How can you not respect this.

One thing you can say about Ward and Floyd, is that they'll be leaving boxing with all the brain functions in tact. These two are smart fighters, where a lot of fighters who have been ko'd even once will see the effects on their brain as they get older

hulkdaddy71 exactly true. I don’t know why people keep going on about the Cotto when it’s plain 2 see Floyd chose 2 stand his ground more. He could have made that fight a lot easier but chose 2 stand an trade more. He basically did a Sugar Ray Leonard in his first fight with Durán. Look what happened when Leonard did what he was capable of!!!!

Perhaps you should check out Maidana 1 and Jose Luis Castillo fights. Floyd's face was so pulverized you couldn't tell if it was a black man or a white man... swollen hamburger. He didn't walk thru everyone but the Incredibly Corrupt Boxing Machine did. And still does to this day. ALL Pro Sports are corrupted by money, 'the love of money is the root of ALL evil'.

Me too my favorite boxer of this era, wish he'd come out of retirement.

Andre Ward is definitely a true student and true champion of the sport of boxing.. He's an inspiration in what a true champion ..I'm truly glad that it's someone with his pedigree that is now a commentator in this sweet science..And that's coming from someone who is also a big fan and student also in this profession..I Salute you Andre Ward..

Always thought Floyd was a runner,but it wasn't until he picked apart Canelo that I truly appreciated his skill. When you compare Lara to Mayweather, you realize what a runner looks like. Mayweather may not be a toe to toe brawler/fighter, but he is the best technical fighter, I personally, have ever seen.

This guy is a class act! Great for boxing! Never lost since he was 12years old also Gold Medal winner & now Undefeated. The most Focused Boxer aside from Floyd Mayweather Jr!!!! All their fights are won in training.

Dre Ward dropping Jewels. We all know they won't appreciate you until you retire! Floyd was #1 P4P for years & people still made excuses for his success. Appreciate the greatness while you witness it because we may never see anything like it ever again!

Such a humble dude!

One of the most well spoken and insightful athletes ever..

Andre and Floyd are two of the best we’ve seen in the past 20-25 yrs.

Well stated bro Ward

AW SOG is an offical legend : 1.) Last US Boxing Olympic Gold metalist 2.) Undefeated Record 3.) mulitple weightclass champion 4.) Went up in weight to fight a KILLER to beat him TWICE 5.) Super 6 winner 6.) Soon to be H.O.F. Boxer

we appreciate you champ

very smart man, my favorite active fighter 2016 gonna be the year that makes you a legend champ

With Floyd retired.....Ward is the best fighter in my eyes. That 4 years break kind of hit him as far as the notoriety. Because he was on his way to becoming a big pay-per-view star. After he defeated Chad Dawson.

Salute Andre SOG Ward all facts Youngblood, keep it moving forward always Andre Ward and Floyd Mayweather jr. Are boxing styles I love watching and appreciated a pro wining style ✌🏽❤️.✅

Gained more respect for him after this interview....so reflective and wise & talented

He basically ripped all the trolls out there, the haters

I'm a huge Ward fan!!!!

I appreciate his knowledge and passion for the art of boxing, it really gives me discipline when Im training. Big ups to fight hype for good interviews from amazing role models and boxers like andre ward!

always a class act. big ups Ward. REAL TALK

6:06 to 6:08 is one of the smartest comments i've ever heard a boxer say. Cause if you go into the ring thinking i've got to brawl with this guy or the fans are not going to like me instead of fighting a smart fight, you could easily end up getting hurt or knocked out. And to the point where you're career could be over. I like Andre, he's one of the smartest or if not the smartest boxer in the sport today.

Great interview.... as always.

How is Floyd not appreciated?? He is the highest paid fighter in sports. I think most of the grief with Floyd is that in his last 14 fights he has only 2 KO's. That doesn't mean a whole lot if you are a boxer but a casual fan wants to see the finish. On another note, I love Andre Wards boxing style and this interview is great!

Actually just taught us valuable life lessons....
