(Yawn) it doesn't alter the fact Ward easily beat everyone he faced either. It also doesn't alter the fact there are only two guys fighting no matter wherevthey fight at, huh?
Floyd has done just fine,never fighting oitside of America. And Ward has fought outside of America twice already.
The guy has only had 26 fights and is still in his 20s. Who said he wont fight in guys back yards? Calzaghe didnt do that until he had over 40 fights and was in his mid 30s. Unless you count "merciless" Mario Veit. Kessler ddint fight a real challenger abroad until his 37th fight
Kessler had just turned 26 when he made his first defense of the SMW title in Australia. Ward has been a champ for 4 years, nearly 30 years old and has only left Fatyankeestan for a commentatorgig. Nuff said.
Until Ottke, Calzaghe, Froch and a whole host of other fighters get the same hate Ward does,while doing the exact same as him, then no, Im not explaining anything. People tend to fight in their home country. Floyd has NEVER left America even though I doubt he has any issue with it. Why dont I see stupid threads about all these fighters fighting at home?? Why is Ward, who is doing something COUNTLESS fighters do, getting singled out?
Who's trolling now? Its ok for any other fighter (because you don't care) but somehow Ward should be singled out and villified because he beat your favorite fighter in America? Yeah, that doesn't scream 'trolling, biased double standard' does it?
Ward is chasing a career defining payday and recongnition, so needs to think outside the box to get that like fighting abroad.
Calzaghe and Ottke has got plenty of hate. Difference here being that Floyd's potential opponents also fight in the states and Floyd is much the bigger draw. In Ward's case he cannot draw flies to a turd. To my recollection, even thoug I'm not an ESb regular, there has been plenty of hate for Calzaghe, Ottke. The Ward 'hate' will continue. I don't understand why his fans cannot see the problem and I cannot understand why they don't support him travelling. Hey they think he is the biggest thing since sliced bread and that he could beat anyone anywhere anytime, so why don't they demand him to travel so you can make all the 'haterz' STFU?
Hopkins and Ward are screaming for Froch to win... Im sure they will both be dead silent when Kessler beats up Carl... If for some reason none of these american fighters fails to persue a fight with Kessler they should forever be known as them little biatches...
WTF are you even talking about. Ward won the Super 6 and cleaned out the SMW division. He beat Chad Dawson after Dawson called him out. We should be mad because Ward didn't fight fighters in their hometown? I could understand if Ward stayed home and had never fought Froch, Kessler, Abraham, and Dawson but he fought and beat them all. Are ya'll really that worried for Ward and want him to make the biggest payday of his career by traveling, or are you ignorant enough to think the fight would go any different in another country? Or, are you hoping for a hometown decision?
Calzaghe gets hate because he wasted most of his career fighting nobodies. Ward has fought the best. Ottke gets hate because he got a bunch of bad decisions. Ward has convincingly beat everyone hes faced. Ward has fought professionally outside of America. Hes won an Olympics outside of America. If Ward wanst to travel,cool. If not, I dont care. No one will be able to call themselves the best in the division until they fight him. I never once thought while watching Floyd beat Mexicans,English,Puerto Ricans,Argentinians,South Africans,Canadians,Dominicans and Ugandans, that "this fight is a fraud, because hes not fighting them in their own countries" If he fights the Ward/Kessler winner in thjeir backyard and spanks them, you'll just make up other ridiculous reasons to belittle him.
