    I've heard all the reasons why he isnt a draw from his haters. But I want to hear from the Ward fans. Why isnt he a draw? Why did his PPV vs Kovalev, the no 2 P4P fighter in the world at the time only do 160k? Wards been fighting in USA since FOREVER. Last US Gold Medalist. He's as American as Apple Pie. Was HEAVILY promoted in the super 6. So WTF

    Now I'm hearing that he's gonna walk away from the sport. TBH I really do hope he retires. We are nearly 2 months post Ward Kov and the rematch appears to be in jeopardy. LHW is a hot division and I would hate for 3 titles to be held up while Ward fiddles and ponders his future. Instead of Ward talking that good ish saying "ill whip you again you commie" he's crying about the money being right.

    So why Ward not the draw he thinks he should be?

    Because his style is boring and his personality is smug, ignorant and annoying.

    Very fan unfriendly style. That's it in a nutshell.

    I think some of it may have to do with his attitude. There are certain things that I have seen or things that I have read that makes me think it could be a bit down to personality.
    Although I didnt think Ward won against Kovalev he does have a winning style and that often gets alot of fans. He seems to be a draw in Oakland from what I have seen on TV and he did have a crowd from what I could make out when watching the Kovalev fight

    Because nobody knows the fighters that he's fighting and beating. Hell nobody knows Ward period. Nobody knows GG, Kov, Crawford, Lomachenko, Frampton, Khan, Wilder...the list goes on.

    Nobody knew any of the super 6 that he beat. The hardcores know it all but your money is made with the casuals.

    The lhw division isn't hot. It has a few names but they aren't fighting each other. They are basically getting in line to fight either Kov or Ward.

    Because he has judges paid off to get him wins. Kovalev was robbed by you dirty yanks.

    His style doesn't appeal to the casuals. But he should be bigger than ever since he's a "POS" and since Kovalev was so "Brutally ROBBED" when they fought. Lol

    He should be a bigger star because he's a POS and because Kov was robbed? Precisely the type of post I would expect from a 16yo idiot.
