Look at all the money Ward could make if he were to fight Stevenson.............Stevenson called Ward out live on HBO, said he will fight Ward at 168, that would be a good fight, but Ward will only fight in his home town with his personal referee, judges, boxing commission, etc...............Ward also said that Kovalev was too big for him..................Ward's best money fight right now would be with Stevenson at 168, of course, Ward wants everyone to fight at his required weight...............Ward is a cheater...........he appears to be retired...........or as Borat said it, ******ed..............
Explain all the hate for Klitschkos, Golovkin, Kovalev, Lomachenko, Lebedev, ad infinitum..............
Ward is not P4P #2. That ship has sailed long ago. Who has he fought to warrant this ranking? His wins over Abraham? Froch? Kessler? Rodriguez? A weight-drained Dawson? Stevenson knocked Dawson out in a round and he isn't being elevated. A lot of fighters have surpassed Ward in accomplishment in the last few years and his inactivity is making it hard to even have him on the list, let alone having him in the top 5.
Can never understand the Huge wraps on Ward...especially when he does not fight anyone...the Ghost That Walks would be a better name for Him.!!!!
That was the point of the post. A good fighter that could be great but is embroiled in litigation and politics. He has loyalty to a promoter, Antonio Leonard of TNT promotions. It is my belief TNT promotions has a relationship with corrupt manager James Prince that violates the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act. Unless Ward sever ties with Prince and his associates his career will continue to suffer. Floyd left Arum and Prince and it was the best move he made in his career. Ward needs to follow this lead.
