    Nah. Doesn't have the style or charisma.

    Great fighter though.

    Tim Tebow was a different story altogether. He strung together miraculous comebacks in the 4th quarter and was a decently exciting qb to watch.

    As much as I like Ward, there's no way. He's a straight forward, humble guy, not a self promoting *******.

    Plus, he's already beaten the best his division has to offer in such convincing fashion that there's not a lot of drama when he enters the ring. There's a feeling that his best fights, for the foreseeable future, are already behind him.

    Casuals don't want to see good blacks, they want the beat on your baby mama cry after 20 days in jail blacks. Wards best shot is to try to stay healthy and fight the beat opponents available, he has to start fights in Vegas and take care of his money and he will be fine.

    na. if he keeps beating top fighters, he'll probably reach B-HOP level type of fame(which isn't a bad thing)...

    relevent to casual fans and they'll tune in to watch but won't pay to see him on PPV unless he's fighting another PPV attraction..

    he would need a personality makeover. or they can try and just push the image he already has. but if people were judged on boxing alone and not what they do in there personal lives then it would not be a problem. unfortunately for ward its not that way, all ward needs to go is continue to win.

    Well I believe Ward is now on Showtime.

    But down the line, yes. If he knocks Froch and/or Kesslar out and continues to hurt and stop guys as he moves up, then it's possible. But he needs legitimate rivals to share the stage with so that the hype leading up to the fight brings fans to actually watch the fight itself.

    Why would Ward be on showtime? He is under Goosen.

    His last fight, against Chad, was on HBO.

    Ward doesn't have charisma? He was the best commentator by far I think people want him to say ignorant **** so they can love him or hate him
