New Found Ward Hate Guys?

Maybe Ward needs some sort of personality implants, maybe a flash of style too, seriously that nick name....SOG LOL smh

smh the race card being played no surprise here.... Black fighters have many white fans..... Can't say the same about non black fighters and black fans..... Blacks support their own fighters almost exclusively, while whites will support black fighters smh what about the blacks that supported pac and ****ted on floyd. lol i know a lot of blacks who hate floyd.

It's simple. Most hardcores have never actually boxed and can't understand the technique to appreciate it. Not saying everyone who has boxed will like Ward, but I'm sure they'd give him props for not taking damage and getting the job done and done well.

People that you would expect to hate Ward, hate him. So its nothing out of the ordinary. I'm frustrated by his inactivity but he has aspirations to have financial freedom and be a PPV star so who am I to tell him what he can or can not be? it is what it is. There are plenty of other great fights to keep me entertained while Ward sits on the sidelines.

I'm a ward fan, but I have that new found Ward hate. The man needs to man up and fight and stop crying. Plus the whole religious crap needs to go. I refuse to Believe someone really "fears god" when they beat the crap out of people for living.

1: Boring personality 2: Massive chip on his shoulder 3: Hypocrite 4: Hometown fighter 5: Loves to hit and hold 6: Loves to billy-goat 7: Not very entertaining 8: Inactive 9: Terrible nickname 10: To go along with the previous 9 reasons to dislike him he is also a great fighter and that just makes him even more annoying!

Seems like its the inactivity mainly. Boxing fans really hate inactivity.

Problem with Ward is that he doesn't realize he has very little drawing power compared with other top fighters. Demanding millions each fight shows his delusion and business naivety. He needs to build on his fanbase. The only way for him to build up his fanbase is by fighting...which is exactly what he is not doing. Pretty much. Good post. Just fight Andre, travel and fight.

I don't hate him but I'm just not a fan of his, he's quite easily forgettable sadly because of his inactivity

Out of interest, who do you guys see Ward fighting next? Kessler rematch (abroad for Christ sake)? I think he's the WBC Emeritus champ still so he may get a quick route to rematch Bika for a belt. Or should he move up and gatecrash the Kovalev/Hopkins/Stevenson party at 175?

You can't call it a domestic fight when HBO's carrying it in the US, you've got the largest live boxing audience since the 80's and there are two WORLD TITLES on the line. That's where Ward saw himself after he won the Super 6, but his business decisions came back to bite him hard, hence the bitterness everytime he hears Froch's name. He's gonna have to get in with JCC Jr. soon and hope those Mexican buys boost his perceived PPV value cos at this rate, he's gonna be the poorest top-10 P4P fighter out there.... and that's including Rigondeaux on the list! Froch KO 4

The skills are there no doubt, but he's acting like a major diva. It's the myth that he cleaned out the division that bothers me as well. Also due to inactivity and not putting in much work when he does(meaning not that great of opponent), he doesn't deserve that #2 P4P rating at all. That is a disrespect to the great fighters that have been working hard fighting and doing it against much better opponents than Ward.

They are not taking the spotlight though. Its just a domestic fight! haha that quote just makes ward look petty. I think he should have maintained his cool and cleared up business with his promoter or taken the froch rematch when i twas offered, now he'll never get to fight in a lil village stadium like wembley.

LOL come on thats stupid Also, do yall think ward is jealous of froch and groves taking the spot light? They are not taking the spotlight though. Its just a domestic fight!

Look at what posters a majority of the hate is coming from and the answer is pretty obvious. It's because he's rater higher than Pacquiao. LOL come on thats stupid Also, do yall think ward is jealous of froch and groves taking the spot light?

Yeah. What's to hate? He doesn't feel divine. He doesn't fight exclusively in his homecountry. He doesn't fight dirty. He doesn't overestimate his own worth. He draws huge crowds. He has a big punch. He never instigate clinches. He has a fanfriendly style. He fights often. He never complains, *****es or whines. He doesn't drain opponents.

no one likes holdy-bums

Its difficult to praise a guy's skills when he doesn't display them. I dont really think many people hate on his ability, just the fact he thinks he is PPV worthy.

I'm kinda hating on him lately, but it's just because I'm a fan of his and I'm upset with his inactivity situation. The other guys hate him because, they think he's obligated to go up to 175 right now when he's not ready and he only has a couple options there, none of which are PPV level fights. I'm not hating but he's not ready!?!? He fought at 175 as an Amateur and won Olympic gold a that weight. I know the pro's is different but he must be comfortable enough to fight at 175. If someone like Mayweather refused to go to a weight class with more dangerous fighters because he's "not ready" even though he had been there in the amateurs, imagine how much flack he would get? He's not obligated to do anything but there is also no real excuse as to why he can't go and fight the best at 175 or why he brings Chad Dawson down to 168. Very talented no doubt but he's wasting his career at the moment and has had 1 fight in almost 2 years.
