Quote

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.

You can still entertain without getting a knockout.

Even if you are sick, you fight until you have nothing left.
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

That's what makes a fighter. I got dropped and I got back up, and I found a way to get the win.

Anybody that's in my weight class, above me or beneath me, I keep an eye on.

As a man, I have no problem saying I was hurt.
Andre Ward
Image
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.

I'm always striving to be a better man to God, a better husband, a better Dad so it's just work, but I'm committed to it.
Andre Ward
Image
You're only as good as your last fight. It's just the way things are. It's the way that the sport is built.
Andre Ward
Image
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
Image
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.

It's not about size, it's a science.
Andre Ward

He's built up to be invincible and no man is invincible, any man can be knocked out.

The road I've taken to this point has not been easy. Being back on HBO is a big thing, but fighting on HBO in my hometown is huge. To be great you have to fight the best. Chad has beaten the best so these are the type fights I want to take. I will put on a great show for all the fans that come out to Oracle Arena.

The way my father raised me, we don't pat ourselves on the back. We don't call ourselves great, we let other people do that.

I'm not gloating over Chad Dawson, he's still the man in my book.
Andre Ward
Image
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.

I like to talk come fight night, that's how I do it, but I'm not a pushover.
Andre Ward
Image
Let him tell us he's never been hurt, but that's the definition of getting hurt.
Andre Ward
Image
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.
