Why do people dislike Ward?

Shaw isnt any less smart than Goossen. Money is money. Goossen is more smart and more classy then the fat man..

I refusal to fight out of the USA and then cry for big money. Well the big money is in europe for him. Him fighting the whole super six in oakland was disgusting to say the leat! As a fighter he can be somewhat boring sometimes, but he is very good at he does.

Yea,I believe Arum tried to do what he did with Bradley but it did not work on Goosen..Goosen is to smart for that,but after this fight..I could see Ward going to TR.. Shaw isnt any less smart than Goossen. Money is money.

Well, he was inactive by way of injury I guess you could say.... but during the whole injury and recovery process, he tried to go to Top Rank. Now... this is yet to happen, but Goosen was ready to sue Ward if he left him. IT was about the time Arum was dangling a Chavez Jr. PPV in his face Yea,I believe Arum tried to do what he did with Bradley but it did not work on Goosen..Goosen is to smart for that,but after this fight..I could see Ward going to TR..

I thought Ward was injured??He fought twice in 2011 which is good..Once in 2012 which also was good with the whole super six and a big fight with Dawson..If he did not get injured I believe he would have fought already..

Style can be ugly to watch, but I don't like the fact he's way to inactive... if that Goosen promotional beef escalated, he'd be even more inactive. I think Arum will ultimately try to snatch him away and Goosen will do everything he can to keep him I thought Ward was injured??He fought twice in 2011 which is good..Once in 2012 which also was good with the whole super six and a big fight with Dawson..If he did not get injured I believe he would have fought already..

7) he's absolutely terrible in the media & his hbo commentatin is nothing compared to roy jones Not sure if serious......?

Why do some people hate Ward? Because they are British

Style, and his inactivity since winning the Super Six has placed a damper on the enthusiasm that once existed for him. After the Froch fight, only the "I hate anyone remotely defensive" club had anything bad to say about him.

Ward was one of my favorites but fighting Dawson at 168 was an absolute bytch move and turned me off That's where Dawson wanted to fight Ward..How is that a b1tch move??Dawson not only called Ward out,but called him out at 168lb..You should say dumb move by Dawson.. Even tho I believe Ward would have done the same thing to Dawson no matter the weight..

I can't call it,I can't lie tho..I did not like Ward at first either..I'm a Froch guy,so that's most likely why I felt this way at first..Over time tho he's really won me over..I'm still a Froch guy,but I have so much respect for Wards skill..Great fighter..

I don't want to get analytical or philosophic here but Andre Ward is one of the best fighters in the game today. He doesn't duck, i seriously doubt that he dope's (i'm curious why people think that - he certainly does not give the physical impression that he does) and he always exudes a sense of class when he's interviewed. You can't be everything in life including a great boxer and a great entertainer at the same time but I still support him and respect him just the same.

I don't dislike him, but the test dodging has certainly negatively impacted my view of him.

SMH @ "He rooted for Guerrero to beat Floyd so I hate him" Ward and Guerrero are childhood friends dating back from their days in the Bay area. Gladly boxers are color blind unlike the ignorant fans.

Ward is one of the more likable guys in boxing, very classy chap.

I dont like him because he openly rooted for a mexican to beat floyd. You didnt see marquez rooting for floyd vs canelo Floyd called him up to wish him luck when Ward was fighting for his first title,then Ward turn around and root for Guerrero to beat Floyd. Garcia's Dad was right :nonono:

Because the 'best' SMW is boring compared to Kessler and Froch.

He fights and beats the best He represented the U.S. and did the country proud He's never been one to disparage his opponents or act overly c ocky I don't get it I see a lot of people who diss him but never understood why Some say his style is boring I don't agree but even if you think that, is that really a reason to diss the guy? He ducked Bute,He was gonna duck his mandatory challenger Anthony Dirrell but Anthony Dirrell got into a motorcycle accident,He fought a weight drained Chad Dawson rather then fighting Dawson at a catchweight.He could`ve have fought Adonis Next,but instead he chose a fighter whose made to order for him.He acts holier then thou but yet he worked with a PED dealer called Victor Conte,Floyd called him up to wish him luck when Ward was fighting for his first title,then Ward turn around and root for Guerrero to beat Floyd.Very too faced fighter;One minute he`s praising Floyd the next he`s takes subliminal shots at Floyd with comments like:I`m not one of those people who like to brag,my father taught me better then that","i don`t disrespect the sport,i`m not one of those guys who says in every preparation for a fight that i`m in the best shape of my life,i`m always in the best shape of my life".He`s held to a different standard the other fighters;he`s allowed to hand pick opponents with no criticism,while others are expected to take the toughest fights out there.
