Is some of it a marketing ploy? Lots of religious folks paying to see the religious guy vanquish a heathen?
its cuz hes black straight up. i ask why people hate mayweather and they say its cuz hes arrogant and his attitude not his fighting skills. now Ward gets hated on just like mayweather and hes THE TOTAL OPPOSITE personality-wise but fights the same way. basically its cuz hes black and on top of his game and runs the division.
Here we go with the race card atsch Hardly anyone on ESB respect Floyds gangsta wannabe attitude. Ward is a lot more respected as a person, and only hated on by a few posters that probably are either Calzombies or bitter European fans. I am white and European, by the way, and I have loads of respect of Ward, even if he is a bit full of himself occasionally.
Not unprofessional, just delusional. He actually said that he wanted to win the Froch fight for Jesus. Yeah, Jesus cares if he wins a boxing match. Sure, OK. He even came into the ring, for a previous fight, wearing a crown. I'm surprised he didn't also carry a cross. The guy is clinically insane, IMO.
Actually, people hate Floyd because he refuses to fight the best or next best 140-154lb fighter, Manny Pacqioua, AND because the way he avoids the fight. People hate Ward for the EXACT same reason. He talks the talk, but when push comes to shove, he refuses to fight the best or next best 160-174lb fighter. Wladimir Klitschko literally goes from 1-15 looking, no nearly begging a contender to fight him and he ends up with an unproven Chisora and a smallish, and old Mormeck to take him up on the fight. Meanwhile, Potvetkin, Fury, Helenius, Dimitrenko, Arreola, and a few more top rated contenders always say "I'm not ready". So the CHAMP goes from one to the next until he finds another that IS ready. Pac says.....SAY WHEN.....SAY WHERE Bute says....SAY WHEN.....SAY WHERE Floyd says....uh, uh, uh, I never said I wanted Manny Pacqioua, y'all putting words in my mouth. Ward says.....uh, uh, uh, Bute needs to fight 2 or 3 A level fighters before he gets a shot. Well, NAME 1 Alevel fighter WARD has beaten that Bute has not challenged. Name one demand Pacqioua has not agreed to. That's the reason for the hate. Cuz they are ****ING PERPS.......BOTH OF THE LIL GIRLZ.:deal
