      and ward was supposed to be on hbo when he fought diaz they just had that terrific card with gatti-gomez and margarito-williams so they just showed highlights.
      What confuses me?

      1) Four years after the Olympics. and at 24 (?) years old, why isn't he making more of a splash?
      Comparison: Andre Berto is 23. Kelly Pavlik is 25. Chad dawson is 25. Paul Williams is 26.

      2) His promoter, GTP, doesn't seem to be featuring him. I have heard more about Machito and Steve Forbes in recent weeks/months than I have about Ward.

      3) Is he gonna play at MW or SMW or LHW?

        I wish he would fight more too. He fought 6 times in 2005 and only 3 times in 2006 due to a hand injury and 3 more times this year.

        Goosen said in an interview that they were bringing him along slowly. I'm sure Goosen will feature him soon though. Ward hasn't even fought a 10 round fight yet. (scheduled)

        And he'll probably fight at LHW
