Andre Ward is freakin brilliant in the ring. He has superb defense, sneaky offense and is as intelligent as any fighter in the world. Yet, Ward sightings are becoming about as frequent as Yeti sightings.

Not only are we missing out on seeing this fantastic fighter, but he’s losing the prime of his career to a courtroom.

Ward has essentially cleaned out the super middleweight division, easily defeating Mikkel Kessler and Carl Froch, and simply destroying Chad Dawson, who was at the time the light heavyweight champion. In fact, he’s never really even been in a close fight.

But it would appear that he’s less invincible outside the ring.

He’s suing his promoter Dan Goosen and seemingly getting his ass handed to him. Here’s to hoping he’s out of the courtroom and back in the ring before too much longer. Big fights are abound, if anyone will get in there with him. He’d be the favorite against anyone right now.
