    Ward is number 2 on everybody's p4p list. Take him off for lack of activity then we might see some urgency.

    If Ward wants any big gates he needs to GTFO of Oakland.

    These idiots don't get that all the big fights take place in the US. Foreign fighters literally have fighting in the US as their main goal to gain proper public attention. There's a reason no one cares to fight in England with all the blatant and shameless corruption favoring British fighters.

    That's the thing....I respect Ward's ability, but it's not even about going overseas anymore.

    The dude's never fought in Las Vegas. Not fighting at MSG, I can give a pass for since he's based off of the west coast. But how can you be a gold medalist with P4P acclaim headquartered on the west coast, and never have fought in Vegas?

    :conf

    It takes big name recognition to headline in Vegas, which he doesn't have. And he's not about to fight on undercards again.

    What was stopping him before? He was the only gold medalist we had that Olympics, it's not like he was a prospect that emerged out of nowhere like Hopkins did.

    It just doesn't look good when, on one hand, a fighter wants all roads to lead through him, and on the other, he can't support even a single fight in the fight capital of modern boxing....that happens to be a few hour's drive from his headquarters.

    SOB Ward does not believe in a level playing field. His town, his referee, his judges, his boxing commission, etc., always everything in his favor. However, I read that Ward lost his lawsuit against Goosen, but has sued him again? Heard that will tie him up once again. Ward thinks he should make more money than Mayweather, so...........; Who will pay him that kind of money?

    Ward wants his own juge to, but the thing is the world just doesn't work all the time like that.

    NO, he is DEFINITELY ducking fights. He is on the sidelines while all the big punchers and top fighters are fighting. Fact is he cannot draw flies to sh!t.
