    Quite a hard one with Amir Khan and Adrian Broner being involved in the sport, but Ward is equally as arrogant, just as unlikable, but has the added quality of having possibly the most boring style in the game, which perfectly compliments his non existant charisma.

    I just cannot believe his attitude regarding the Froch fight, moving up in weight, travelling to fight people etc

    Ward is a very likeable guy. Speaks well and is pretty humble. Also he is one of the most talented guys in boxing with the last twenty years.

    He's seems to be a nice guy, does a lot of charity and is articulate and doesn't trash talk much.

    But he does seem to be rather deluded regarding his own self worth as a fighter and clearly his decisions regarding his career border on being pathologically re****ed but he isn't really unlikable.

    Fury is far more annoying, Mayweather is crass, Stevenson is a total scumbag. So plenty of other boxers are far more unlikable.

    In a sport where a ranked fighter is a convicted pimp/trafficker...yeah, Ward because he overvalues himself is the worst.

    To be fair, Ward did clean up his division at one point, something that Khan and Broner didn't get close to doing, so his arrogance is more deserved than those two

    Nope sorry Froch finished the cleaning and fought Bute. Styles make fights you can't credit Ward for cleaning up the division just because he beat Froch who beat Bute. I like Ward but he had a clear path after Super6 to fight Bute and then reign or move up but he did neither. He said Bute wasn't worthy but fought Rodriguez in an exhibition because he couldn't even make weight. The S6 went to his head and he turned on his promoter because he felt he was t looki after his best interest even though the promoter got him the best deal in the S6. You got to watch his interviewees and that music video he did where he thinks everyone is out to get him and that he really is a big draw but people are hiding it from him!
