    I heard he had surgery on it recently......what gives? Is this guy ready to participate in Super6 or are we facing more delays? Was this routine or was he seriously hurt. They made mention of it in the Kessler fight but he seemed perfect that night.

    Super middleweight titleholder Andre Ward's surgically repaired right knee has been giving him problems, forcing him to postpone his first defense against Allan Green and causing major friction between their promoters.
    The fight, part of Showtime's Super Six World Boxing Classic tournament, had been scheduled for April 24 in Ward's hometown of Oakland.
    "I want this fight in the worst way, and am very excited about it. I have been having recurring problems with my right knee," Ward said. "I went to camp and tried for a week and half to two weeks, and I can't run like I'm supposed to. I want Allan Green to get an Andre Ward that's 100 percent, just like I want an Allan Green that is 100 percent."

    If theres anything the last few months in boxing have taught is..... never trust an Andre.

    I'm disappointed. I was looking forward to Green's ass whuppin.

    From the BEGINNING, Andre Ward DIDN'T Like the Idea of Facing Allan Green...Ward was Actually Looking FORWARD to that GIMME vs. Jermain Taylor...REED Certainly AIN'T Calling Ward "Scared", but he Fully Believes that this was All Concocted to Give Ward ADDITIONAL Prep Time...

    Won't Help him Though...Green KO's Andre Ward, WHENEVER this Fight Happens...

    His knee problem is Legit. You can't just go out with everything on the line at a elite level and expect to win. very wise choice and from a fans point now we see the very best Ward when he returns.

    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.

    Why don't you just tell it like it is. Green has a punchers chance that's all. His skill level, experience, speed and conditioning are not on par with Andre at all.
