First off Ward is a exceptional talent and a world class fighter.
But on a personal level I feel he comes across as a arragont & smug Pr!ck. He seems to think he is better than everyone else and just comes across as plain arragont.
Were boxers like Sergio Martinez, Wladamir Klitschko, Juan Manuel Marquez, Mikkell Kessler & Shane Mosley. Look like nice down to earth boxers who seem to treat people with respect and dont have a chip on there shoulders.
Oh Well, That just me. :lol1:
And Froch doesn't? Ward simply comes off as confident, as a top unbeaten fighter should. Ward is no where close to what Gayevid was, that arrogant prima donna Brit twat cunt thought he was the next Cassius Clay, we all know how that truly turned out. Look for Ward to beat Froch.
Some of you sound like females. A fighter that I like having a likeable personality is an added bonus, but the only thing I want to do is watch them fight and learn from them first and foremost.
At times, he does come off as being somewhat distant and aloof. So it's very understandable how some boxing fans may perceive that as being arrogant. However, I don't believe he's arrogant at all. I just think it's his personality and also coupled with the fact, he is confident and has every right to be. Afterall, he is an undefeated Olympic gold medalist and World boxing champion. Remember that many boxing fans have made similar claims against Miguel Cotto in the past, until they got to really know his personality.
How about providing some examples of him being smug and arrogant. He comes across as a very down to earth and likeable guy, i just can't understand how you managed to come to this conclusion. But whatever, you must be bad at judging peoples character is all.
That's just bull. What a previous poster said is true Ward does seem to talk down to ppl and thats arrogant and it has nothing to do with being black. You take a fighter like Jermain Taylor(before he got mentally raped) and you see confindence but not arrogance when he speaks.
Keep that black thing out of this, its like when extreme feminists claim they aren't sexists, they just want more rights than men.
smh @ this Stupid azz analogy.
Im not even going get into the rest of the bullsh1t post.
To be honest. I think there's been a misunderstanding. Ward is a very quiet man indeed and I've never heard him say anything positive about Froch other than - "great fighter" when asked. He doesn't come across as arrogant at all but he'd rather let his fists do the talking but that's not to say there isn't any respect. Both guys respect each other immensely.
Onto Froch - I think there's definitely been a big misunderstanding here. Froch is a confident type of guy and I wouldn't say he's overly arrogant at all. In fact, he's very respectful to Ward and his opponents. There's a difference between downright arrogance and confidence but being respectful at the same time. You look at all the Froch interviews, he praises Ward and Kessler but he shows good credentials in saying he could beat them and then produces the goods (except 1 ocassion but he was still very respectful of Kessler before the match).
There isn't one bad point about Froch at all.
You cant call yourself "Son of God" and not be arrogant.
I'm sure that's symbolic, he's a religious guy. If you don't believe me then you or another person can ask him on Twitter. I'm quite sure he'll say something like we all are.
Come on dude I've many of his interviews and I don't see it at all, Ward is not only one of the best Boxers he's also one of the most humble.

That's called having supreme confidence in himself and laser focus. He knows where he's going and how he's getting there. Can't knock him for that.
What is this the United Nations or somethin?
What's with all this politally correct stuff.
See that's the thing everything Andre Ward says is politically correct, but if you look closer at the details you will see his arrogance glowing.
Its the way he talks down to ppl, its very subtle but behind his Oscar de la hoya nice guy rutine(which he nails btw without sounding forced) you can notice how he talks down to ppl.

Where is he annoying and condescending? All I've seen from Ward is class and respect.

let him be arrogant and smug
he's been kicking ass in the S6
when he gets arrogant without doing shit, then it's a problem
That's the thing though he isn't even being arrogant, he's humble.
I do agree about Froch being more arrogant than Ward but it's also about the way they talk and carry themselves. Its like the other poster said Ward is not a trash talker but he talks down to ppl which very condescending and annoying.
Froch trash talks and is arrogant but most of his comments are so delusional that I can't help but laugh.

Froch isn't arrogant. He's "confident" and also talks a big game and is willing to go out there and back it up. It's a BIG difference.
That's why I said I'm not sure maybe he is just confident.
Dude is right though. I've seen Froch seem way more arrogant in interviews than Ward yet its Ward who gets the hate. Racial bias is subconscious for most people.

Huh what is this? I've seen Ward interviews definitely Froch is the arrogant one if we were going to label of them as arrogant. I'm not saying he is though, Ward is definitely one of the most humble fighters.
