Could Andre Ward sell out an 80,000 seater stadium like George Groves did?

    Ward doesn't have to be as popular he will just be greater ! Hatton Is one of the UK 's most popular fighters means nothing in terms of greatness !

    Even Ward himself has said he's a PRIZE fighter (indicating he wants to fight for big money) rather than a PRIDE fighter (indicating he wants legacy), thus he wishes he had the popularity of Paul Smith, let alone Carl Froch. Unlucky.

    Not everyone will sell out arenas but that doesn't take away from their greatness and of course he wants big money name a fighter that doesn't ..He doesn't need to be as popular as Groves but Groves will never come close to being as great as Ward ..Ever ..He will be reduced to a popular journeyman in no time ..

    None of the guys you named will be as great as Ward ..


    They may end up richer than him but its greatness that defines boxers not how much money they made! Hatton is more popular than Floyd and in their fight made more money yet who is greater ? That's all that really matters !

    If Froch was getting sued 10 million from his promoter, provided they won the court case, he'd be able to afford it easily based on his last fight. That's probably most of what Ward has earned in his career- if not less, and Ward has a family to feed of about 24.

    And because Ward can't draw flies to ****, with his lifeless personality, his boring fighting style, his abysmal TV ratings, his fanbase of 12 and his inability to go outside the borders of athletic commissions that allow PED use, he won't be able to get anyone in the ring that would command big paydays.

    So with that said, Ward himself would probably disagree with you.

    You say greatness doesn't matter. There careers ended today- Froch has done enough to warrant first ballot Hall of Fame status. Ward has not, despite their head to head record (much like Cotto would get in the HOF, and Trout would not), he's not 1st ballot, although may sneek in during quiet years- not a given though.

    His legal issues have nothing to do what he accomplished in the ring
    Like I said he may not make as much money as them but he will go down as the greater boxer ..

    All good you sound bitter towards Ward maybe you wanted Kessler or Froch to win the S6:lol:

    Nothing. But I know what the UK did to you to make you upset.

    A man from Newbridge Wales went through your fighters like a hot knife through butter 17 times and you are still butthurt.

    That's why you can't answer the simple question posed in the thread and have to revert to nationalistic trolling. :hi:

    Not at all. I liked Ward when he won, but his deluded behaviour after he did has put me off him.

    Nice try, trying to flip it but no. I'm not the one making anti US threads.

    Wembley is made up of multiple arenas.

    You didn't think that Groves ONLY filled 5000 out of a potential 80'000 seats did you? You imbecile.
