according to haters, yet Ward's fanbase have no apparent issue with Ward fighting a total nobody (again) on the Cotto undercard. Guess he needs a few warm ups, right? Why can't Ward go right to Kovalev? He already had his warmup fight. This dude he is rumored to be fighting does NOTHING for Ward or boxing at all. I bet the excuse is that Ward/Kov are "in negotiations"...right?
GGG has had 34 warm up fights on the road to Ward time to step up. The middle weight division hold no challenge for him like 147 supposedly holds no more challenges for Mayweather.
How did Ward garner all of this hate. His name is S.O.G. Son Of God and yet since he wanted to fight GGG all of these busta have become real Ward haters without any motive. I guess boxing does need a Black bad guy whether their is one or you haters have to create one. You miss Floyd *****?!
Mayweather just beat the "boogeyman" at 147 so he truly didn't have anything to prove. Ward's resume is extremely overrated. Froch was a fantastic win, and given that Dawson beat Bhop, you gotta give him props on that. But other than a decent win in Kessler the rest of his resume is pretty bland. AA is overrated as hell. He beat Jermain, big deal.
The only two stand out names on Wards resume are Kessler and Froch. Dawson was weight drained and Stevenson went on to beat him better at his a tua weight. The rest have been b level fighters at best, Green, Rodriguez,Bika....
Without any Motive? 1 Fight in 3 Years and that was a Tomato Can of the Highest order...can not draw a Crowd and You want people to Love Him....at least Golovkin is active and Fans actually like watching Him.!!!!
SOB Ward will only fight in his home town, with his personal referee, judges, boxing commission. Ward was the ONLY boxer who did not have to travel in his personal tournament. When Bute was a good boxer and a threat, Ward decided to not allow Bute to fight in his tournament. Ward beat Kessler with elbows, headbutts, etc., but Ward won the fight with an intentional headbutt that came from across the ring, Ward should have been disqualified, but Ward had his personal referee. Will Ward every fight outside his home town? Froch lost to Kessler, Froch is easy to hit, slow, Kessler was head butted so much, so really SOB is not that good. He did not look that good against an unknown out of shape boxer in his last fight......................
I don't understand why some of you say Ward has a great resume when his best wins include a totally drained lhw and a career mw
Ward is now a Light Heavyweight, I'm actually getting sick of this, why not ask Ward to fight Kovalev? Or is that too much to ask of Ward? Fighting a genuine Light Heavyweight considering he is one?
