Dear friends, thank you all for your comments and your attention to my video.
Finally Andre Ward is getting the recognition. No one even talks about the Super Six or Dawson fight any more.
Andre SOG is absolutely one of the GOATs of this sport. He deserves more acclaim
He fought a bunch of Europeans
Andre Ward was the biggest cheater in boxing history. And I used to be a fan!!
Andre is the best middle weight I've seen
You haven't seem many then @@adrianswanigan8332
Andre ward is my favorite boxer he got out the game undefeated,Olympic gold medalist, 2 division champion and #1 pound 4 pound fighter. But ay I did wish he fought Tony bellow for the wbc cruiser weight belt to be 3 division 33-0 at londen to end it off.
Same .
Do you think he could have beat prime Roy jones jr
@@SCM793 Nah Roy cooks him 🔥
He retired undefeated with the help of the judge's everyone now he Lost the first fight against kovalev
@@SCM793of course he would beat Roy.
He would just punch Roy's nutts like 39 times. Easy win 😂😂😂
This channel is amazing, you’ve great future ahead of you.
I'm glad you like our content. I hope you're right and that's how it's going to be. We don't stop working and the best episodes are ahead. That's my promise.
I like it already can't wait to see more
A documentary about one of the greatest boxers of all time is coming out soon. Just wait...
His story is an underdog story, he had many obstacles, got knocked down many underestimated him but he rose above that shit. I admire that mental toughness he’s got and his excellent boxing style, he was a very technical fighter and he is definitely one of my favorite boxers💯
and he quit his aspiring career because he IS afraid to lose, didn't want to fight Bivol or Beterbiev. But the chickenshit has already lost, satan is his daddy, that's Andre's champion...
Great video! Just finished his book. Such a great champion and humble person.
S.O.G, the book of Ward 🙏🏾🔥🥊
Yeah, unfortunately I haven't watched Andre Ward's original documentary yet. But I made my author's. I hope you found it interesting.
@@Boxing_Classics Yes it was interesting
It was amazing to watch. Thanks for that
Thank you, too, for your attention and comments.
This is amazing!!!
thank you for this video brother
Thank you for your comment. I sincerely hope you will appreciate the other documentaries as well.
This was Awesome!!
Excellent work.
Andre mad nice! 🥊🥊
I really enjoyed the video. I hope this channel is successful and keeps producing this content like this! Awesome work ❤
Thanks, friend for the support. I really hope you check out some of my other videos that are highly neglected by viewers.
This was beautiful
he is even better as a commentator and boxing analyst...pure talent
I still wish this would have gotten the big bag!❤🙏🏾✊🏾
He’s racially biased and can’t keep canelo out of his mouth
@@themarathoncontinues2289 Canelo and his fans are where they're today for being racist and hyping up Canelo who just got lucky with being under De La Hoya to fight hall of fame fighters from De La Hoyas era getting ready to retire as a young professional. Canelo and his fans do everything but fight top contenders that were in his weight class the only person that was... Was triple G. He ducked Andrade at 160 in national television, and ducked Benavidez on national television.
Keep it up
best S.O.G. doc on youtube!!!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it)
SOG is an all time great
My dude Dre pure class and skill.
The super 6 was the hardest boxing tournament ever the 1st of it's kind he should be recognised for this alone 🥊🥊
yep
@@Boxing_Classics love your channel it's by far the most informative out there, good work, gaurd up, chin down, keep them coming peace out 🥊🥊

Great champion he's created a lots respect to eyes public is a champion with a dream to becomes a legend God bless brother 🥊💪☝️
Andre can come back and still be a beast
Still friends with the referees eh?
@@Talisman09 With Tony Weeks as the ref he would ko Usyk with a so called bodyshot
@@tomdewyn5689Still crying about the Kovalev fight, I see. That mothafucka was faking about getting hit low cuz he was looking for a way put. Plus, he was wearing his trunks too high
G.R.E.A.T..SOG
*Correction: Andre is 31-1 (lost 1st Kovalev fight).*
Nice vid. Wards slow Starr in the pros I always put down to the way amateur boxing was in his era. It was head gear, 3 of the 5 judges needed to score a punch (point) so that era it was all long outside work. Which makes it more amazing that by the time he found his footing in the pro game he was probably (with Floyd) the #1 throwback old school fighter in the game. A master on the inside. But even more spectacular wa when he told post career how bad his right shoulder was. You watch the froch fight he basically beats him one handed. He could only throw the right hand short. All that said he was a recklessly dirty fighter following punches with his head and punching low in nearly every fight especially his last. And he couldn't sell tickets regardless of his greatness.
Hold on now dam he fought Miranda bra was dangerous
He needed them elbows and low blows in his biggest fights tho. Very dirty fighter.
Yeah I've definitely seen him use his head and elbows on several occasions when he didn't even need to.
“It’s hard to recognize what you’re watching, at first,” he said. “He’s developed into a fighter who kills in stages, like the lethal injection. You know, with multiple shots. One goes in and sedates you, the next one shuts down the nervous system, the next one stops your heart. It’s not a firing squad. “That’s what’s unfolding. People go to fights and look for the wrecking ball, but instead you have this totally helpless person. I watch the ref watch the other guy. After the second round the ref never looks at Andre again-he starts watching the other guy closely. He’s getting steadily blasted and he can’t do anything back, and he’s starting to shut down. The ref sees and feels it first. I watch the faces of people around the ring, and there isn’t much cheering or yelling. It’s almost somber, like we’re witnesses to an execution.”
Virgil Hunter
Thank you for the marvelous comment. This is truly an epic speech by Hunter.
Always thought he was good but this cemented the thought that he was a Religious Great and dedicated Boxer! Cheers to Him.Respect 😊
Went at the very top, what a career
what a career for a chickenshit who only likes the goin, when it's easy..
If we could get a super 6 tournament today with the talent that's out there, that would be an amazing tournament.. the best would be forced to fight the best
Absolutely
So many haters in these comments, that’s how you know SOG is a great. Gets the same type of treatment Mayweather gets
OverHype Career
Great champion, very good carrier, only 1 loss 👏
Never lost 32-0
@@mattharris2465 Never lost because he benefited from disgusting corruption
@@Talisman09 don’t talk shit
I think andre ward should come out of retirement and fight David benavidez before he turns 40
What does S.O.G stand for ?¿?
He stopped chad Dawson I thought he won on points wow
lol Yeah, those elbows, headbutts, and well placed nut shots were pretty flawless. Not to mention getting out to protect that "0". But he also had talent, ngl.
I think the Kessler fight is a little overrated. Kessler also had injuries after Calzaghe, and hadn't fought anyone of note until the Ward fight. A gap of almost 2 years. Kessler was only stopped cos of those accidental head butts too. I think a rematch would have been interesting after Kessler's fight with froch where he had a new trainer and clearly showed improvement in his style, was less telegraphed used more lateral movement etc. He also knocked out green cold in 4 rounds where Ward went the distance. Still a good win for Ward but I don't think he faced the best Kessler, but then I'd also say that re Calzaghe too.
I still think Ward would beat a better Kessler tho, just sharing my thoughts.
Thank you for your comment. And subscribe so you don't miss the next videos.
Flawless? Foh. No human is that. He could box better than the ones he boxed. Salute the SOG!!
I realize you don't like his style. I can agree with that. But he was the best in the divisions he competed in. He's beaten everyone. That's an indisputable fact. He's not the best boxer in history, I didn't say that. But he has made his career flawless. Why would he fight better if his gamelan always works? What are you talking about? And who's going to tell him how to fight better, unless it's himself. That's why he's a flawless champion. He should be respected for that. And don't tell me he was a dirty boxer. There are thousands of dirty champions in boxing. And there are legends like Bernard Hopkins and Roberto Duran and Evander Holyfield who were hundreds of times dirtier than Ward. Miguel Cotto, Tito Trinidad. I think you have to respect every champion for their contribution to boxing. If you've ever seen a world champion, even in amateur boxing, you should just kneel before him. Because this man has given everything he has to achieve this. And it doesn't matter if it's Mayweather, Pacquiao, Duran, Corrales, Ward or just an amateur world champion. All of them have gone to their peak.
kovalev ward #1 sure as fuck wasnt flawless
I'm surprised you never mentioned Ward's inside fighting. Sure he's an awesome boxer at range but his inside fighting was what gave him the advantage over the likes of strong fighters like Froch and Kovalev and Bika who could not handle him.
I know right, Kovalev had a rough time with all those nut shots 😂😂
@@Peo.Ribeiro This is BS. You can see from the videos at slow mo they were on the Belt line. Stop making excuses.
@@Volcanic47 Ward was one of the dirtiest fighters of the last era. Disgusting. He was gifted wins against multiple fighters, not just Kovalev. You should be ashamed for turning a blind eye.
@@Talisman09 Ok I could do with a laugh. Name all these multiple boxers?
@@Talisman09 not to mention, he blantantly elbowed Binka MULTIPLE TIMES.
How about when he disfigured Kessler with headbutts...
But, don't mind... This guy is proly a fanboy...
Sog
Didn't he loose to the crusher the 1st fight
He has fought no one
You are apparently jealous of dre or just hatin '
Undefeated because he had the judges on his side a couple times. Same for Mayweather
Cry
@@user-ig8vm1ns4t cry what? That's the truth records mean nothing that's for everything in life. Even people with no criminal records are the worst ppl
The biggest, dirtiest fighter in history more like!
Never won one fight legally!
You're just a hater. There's no weight in your words 😆
Ward had plenty of flaws.
Dirty fighter who took advantage of a weak time in the division.
Retired after gifted a win vs Kovalev (1) and ducked GGG and other MW coming into the picture.
There are many complaints that Ward fights dirty. Head butts, elbows and low blows is the accusation. If true, that makes him far less than flawless.
No, it's not. You've completely misunderstood my message. Flawlessness is not about his boxing style. It's about the way he's spent his career and what he's always striving for. And on the subject of styles, I'll tell you something else. Ward is not the dirtiest boxer. The dirtier ones were Hopkins, Oscar Bonavena, Joe Calzaghe. But the dirtiest was Roberto Duran, probably the dirtiest boxer in history, but that doesn't make Roberto bad. It's his style. It's just the way he is. He's unique. Same thing with Andre Ward. Most people don't know shit about boxing. Roger Mayweather was right, rest in peace, Mamba.
@ You're right, most know nothing about boxing. Which one of us fits into that category is up for debate. To begin with, your answer doesn't fit my comment. If you can't respond to a comment properly, how can anyone think that you're capable of analyzing a fighter? You show a lot of his fights in this piece, describing the way he won fights, yet you claim that his boxing style has nothing to do with your assessment. Then you say he's not the dirtiest fighter. I didn't say that he was the dirtiest fighter. In fact, I wasn't offering my own opinion at all. I clearly stated that there are many complaints, never did I say that the complaints included my own opinion. At the end I said, ' if that's true', which means I'm not stating anything emphatically, I left room for the possibility that the complaints are unjustified. After all of that you claim that I misunderstood your message when the opposite is true. Comprehension/interpretation means everything.@@Boxing_Classics
Listen, bro. I realize every fighter has his haters and his fans. You don't like Andre Ward. Somebody else doesn't like some other fighter. All right. But what do you want from me? For me to call the video "Shitty Asshole" or "Bad Boxer" and start hitting? No, that's not gonna happen on my channel. If you're here to make fun of me, that's not gonna happen. I do serious content.
Andre Ward is a flawless champion in my opinion. If you think otherwise, create a channel and try to make a movie like that. Maybe you'll get something out of it. And then I'll shake your hand.
If you watched the video to the end without rewinding, you'd understand why this documentary is called that. Yeah, I'm talking about his style and his victories. But what does style have to do with evaluating his career? You don't get it, do you?
I made a simple statement that did not include my own feelings about Andre Ward. Is that not acceptable? I don't want anything from you, this is the comment section. My comment wasn't mean spirited nor demeaning to Andre or to you. You insulted me saying I don't know shit about boxing. How would you know, I didn't voice an opinion. I made a general statement about what I've heard from others. Did that warrant an insult?
@@MrMarco855 You can hold any opinion you like. I don't mind. But you admitted it yourself, you don't know shit about boxing. Because you made a general statement that you heard other people say. People say a lot of things. Just because a general statement doesn't mean it's true. Most people don't know shit about boxing. Boxing is different. It's technique and agility, speed and brutality, drama and tragedy, comedy and meanness, physics and talent, dirty tricks and cunning. Boxing is everything. Everyone can't be Mayweather or Pacquiao, Ali or Roy Jones, Tyson or Robinson. Each one is an individual, a personality. That's what I'm telling all of you. Every one of these fighters makes a contribution to history. I hope you know what I mean.
Ward retired young to avoid the rising challengers Ward avoided Artur Beterbiev, Adonis Stevenson, OLEKSANDR GVOZDYK, Usyk, etc. Ward is overrated and ran not facing the real toughest fighters.
He really didn't have the Big fights.. he's a beast for sure but he didn't fight the greats of his era.
Didn't fight Bute when he was the highest ranked Super middleweight, fought a boiled down Chad Dawson, avoided the toughest stylistic match up in the super six in Andre Direll, only fighter in the super six to not fight outside of his home country, lost against Kovalev in their first fight. Great fighter, but also very overrated.
He didn't fight Lucian Boute, for the reason that the Romanian was under contract with another promoter. Was Andre avoiding him? Also, as time showed, Boute was just a title holder, a card-carrying champion. Who the hell was Bute beating? Nobody. He's an overrated boxer.
Andre Worth is the first boxer to finish Chad Dawson. The Canadian had never lost before. He only had one controversial loss to Pascal on injury.
Didn't fight Dirrell for what reason? But let's also be honest, Andre Dirrell, like Lucian Boutet, was an overrated boxer. Who the hell did Dirrell beat? Nobody.
Ward lost his first fight to Kovalev, by a slim margin. I agree with that. Sorry, but other things, man, you're wrong.
@@Boxing_Classics Direll beat Froch, if you know you know. Styles make fights. As far as Bute, Bute was recognised as the no. 1 super middleweight at the time and him not being the super six was a mark on the tournament. He boiled Chad down to a catch weight, a weight he hadn't fought at in 8 years. Ward could never punch and yet he stopped Dawson, dropping him numerous times it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that the weight cut had a huge impact on Chad. Ward might have beaten him anyway but the nature of the victory was an issue for purists. Ward was a real good fighter but he's not some unbeatable all time great, he's just not.
The fact that Boute did not participate in the tournament has nothing to do with Ward. A lot of fighters didn't fight each other. But that's not their fault. That's the job of the promoters.
Well, I'll say it again. Boute is a boxer about nothing. Andre Ward has a completely different concept of boxing. He wouldn't even see him.
About Dawson. Did Andre put a gun to his head to make him lower his weight? No. Chad Dawson encroached on his titles. A lot of fighters jump categories to win belts. But it didn't work out here. Ward's win was a class victory.
Let me summarize. No one is saying Ward is the all-time great. Is that what we're saying in the video? One thing I was trying to say. Ward's merit is highly undervalued. That's all. Thanks for the discussion.
miserable hater😂
Bute didn't want to fight him.
Bute avoided the super 6.
The story of a cheating bastard!
Calzaghe did it by actually out-boxing and out pointing his opponents usually with a higher work rate/punch output and better stamina, but often by KO/TKO. Although the Hopkins result was very close.
Flawless? Lol. Only liars had him winning that first fight against Kovalev.
Flawless ? 😂 The most boring boxer to have ever breathed! Could send a glass eye to sleep ! I would rather chew my own arm off than watch an Andre Ward fight ! Fella was a terrible fighter.
You're just a hater. There's no weight in your words 😆
You’re clueless to say he’s terrible. 🤣🤣
@@user-ig8vm1ns4t don’t think so mate ! The most boring boxer god ever put breathe in ! All he done was , tie the other fella up & hold ! 💤💤💤💤
More like wasted talent. Andre could have moved up or down and made that PPV money and chose to play it safe. 🤦🏻♂️ then retired before 35 crazy. He left millions on the table
You probably didn't listen to the end of this story. Andre Ward had some health problems. He couldn't keep fighting, and if he had, he wouldn't have been able to train and fight at 100%. It's cases like this where the careers of many boxers go sturmily downhill. Ward did what he had to do.
31-1 Kovalev🤫
Most overrated boxing career of all time
Lost the 1st match against Kovalev
He beat Kovalev by nut punches.
How is it he won a gold medal as an olympian when undefeated as a professional and multiple world championship belts but he's not a superstar ? Wtf you talking about ?
Haters, there’s another comment saying he was a terrible fighter.
Stop lying about low blows in every Andre Ward video. They are on belt line. You said a few things that weren't quite true about Andre.
I agree with this. You can see the replay with Kovalev he was on target.
