More quotes by Andre Ward
I got knocked down, I don't know how many years ago and I haven't been off my feet since, and I responded again against the best in division without the respect of having the chin I'm supposed to have.
Andre Ward
A lot of people look for you to change. Everything has stayed the same. Financially, this is God's money, and my wife and I are just stewards of it.
Andre Ward
Do the work and then let the rest speak for itself and know that it feels personal, I knew it for me when I was younger. It all feels so personal, but if it's for you, it's for you. And if it's not, that's okay because the other door will open. The right door will open.
Andre Ward
I told myself that I'll do everything within my power to never let that happen again.
Andre Ward
Anybody that's in my weight class, above me or beneath me, I keep an eye on.
Andre Ward
I don't rest on my laurels and start getting lazy. It makes me just wanna keep working.
Andre Ward
I'm not going to say that I'm the best, we respect our champions. Floyd's been doing this a lot longer than me, he's been a lot of mega fights and I won't dare say that I'm better than Floyd Mayweather.
Andre Ward
I like to talk come fight night, that's how I do it, but I'm not a pushover.
Andre Ward
It's not about size, it's a science.
Andre Ward
This fight should be dubbed, 'No Excuses.' If Carl Froch beats me, there won't be any excuses. I beat Carl Froch, there shouldn't be any excuses. No judges, no referees, no nothing. May the best man win.
Andre Ward
I don't abuse my body, I've been off 10 months, I still train and I'm always thinking about boxing, so I felt like I would be fine and I just wanted to challenge myself against another top caliber fighter.
Andre Ward
In the school of boxing that I come from, that's frowned upon, giving up free shots, cos we know what those kinda shots do to a man's career, regardless of whether it shows up now, or shows up when you least need it. It takes a toll.
Andre Ward
He says he was physically not right, that's fine but the mentality, even if you're not right, you're still in a fight and you still show what you have deep down inside, and I don't think he showed the mettle that he needed to show in that fight in order to beat a guy like Miranda.
Andre Ward
Even if you are sick, you fight until you have nothing left.
Andre Ward
What you gotta understand is, in this conversation and in our fight, you're not in control.
Andre Ward
Let him tell us he's never been hurt, but that's the definition of getting hurt.
Andre Ward
The part that sickens me about boxing is guys fight their whole careers and they have nothing to show for it. That's not going to be my testimony. When it's time to get out of the game, I want to be able to walk away. I'm not going to jeopardize my health. I will have no problems walking away.
Andre Ward
I'm just excited that the fans are going to get their money's worth, and you can't say that a lot of the times.
Andre Ward
It's one thing to have an eye for the sport, and it's another to have a feel for the sport. He has both.
Andre Ward
I think Bute would have to face off with the Super Six Champion to prove that he's the best Super Middleweight. You come out of a tournament like this on top, that demands a lot of respect and carries a lot of weight.
