The thing is even though Ward has been spoiled with hometown advantage, he would beat Kessler and Green in their backyard as well. He dominated both guys. SMW is stacked with good fights for Ward so he will get his trouble if he takes the big challenges, he is still young though and even if you think he's got it easy you have to give him credit for entering the super six.
he didn't refuse to travel, he just preferred his fights at home. There's a difference. you're talking about someone who won a gold medal at the olympics in Europe.
