    Well lets put it this way...according to the same people complaining Ward will not travel, they say he has no fan base. So why are these guys crying? Like I said, if you're that concerned where you're going to fight than get a better manager. For their part I never met a fighter who was afraid to fight anyone anywhere. And if it does bother a fighter that much than good for Ward and his team for using every advantage they can.

    You'd think Ward dragged the Olympics to "jOakland".

    In reality he just outclassed them as well.

    Just like he outclassed Kessler and Froch. And Abraham, Green. Would've done to Dirrell if he wasn't a *****.

    That said, it's always nice to see the champ leave his own country to defend his belt. Not really gonna complain but it would be cool to see Ward travel a bit more.

    That way he can really hammer home that he is the best. Not like anyone didn't already know that but then they would have even less reason to deny it.

    Correct, but there was an appaulingly biased hometown referee. Ward would have been DQ'ed in the Kessler fight anywhere but jOakland.

    Hes from the UK.
    England is part of the UK.

    Did he need a passport to drive to England?

    Also he was born in England anyway

    Both Froch and Kessler made their first defense on another continent dude. Ward can barely leave his neighborhood.

    That is your opinion, not a fact. A fact would be Ward was outfoxing Kessler anyway you look at it.

    Do portugal and Poland have the same head of state?

    The same army?

    Do portugese people get to vote in Polish elections and vice-versa?

    Do Poland and Portugal compete under the same flag at the olympics?

    Its impressive how you keep ducking his question. How come it was ok for Calzaghe, Kessler and Froch to have their first 26 fights at home but not Ward?

    Its the same country. Deal with it.

    Wales is controlled from London. And they have their own little local assembly that deals with local issues.

    They still elect welsh representatives to the British parliamant.

    Wales,Scotland,England IS THE SAME COUNTRY.
