I have the feeling that Ward spends more time in the court then in the ring. I thought he was a fighter not a lawyer.
It's just sad to see such a talented fighter waste years of his prime due to politics. He had the potential to become an atg, but is instead getting left behind in the HoF stakes by a guy he beat (Froch). It pisses me off.
"The Ring" rules state that a champion can lose his belt if he does not schedule a fight with a Top-5 contender from any weight class for two years. Wards only fight in the 2 years 2 months since he fought Dawson is Rodriguez who was ranked 7th by the Ring.
