    The irony of your statement is mind blowing. Both Ward, Rafael and myself are exercising free speech at the moment. Each one of us is putting out an opinion on a subject matter, but according to you, you are offended and because of that, you want me to shut up and move to another country. If that's not the most Anti-American thing I've heard in some time. It's stupefying in all honesty.

    The truth of the matter is that each and every one of us is allowed to speak on this forum because Boxingscene lets us. Boxingscene determines what is said here and what isn't said here because this is not a public forum. It's privately owned. So first, you should thank Boxingscene for letting you post what you post. But more important, what you are criticizing is that act of freely speaking. If I don't like what someone says, then I can say I don't like it, unlike in other countries, such as the ones you mentioned.

    It seems to me that you are more Russian than American, and the sad thing is that you don't even realize it.
    Dude, I’m not the one who’s calling Ward names. You are, cause he voiced his OPINION, which you took the wrong way.
    YOU made this thread, I didn’t. Maybe you should look in the mirror and read what you just wrote me and look at yourself.

Perhaps you can move to countries where free speech isn’t allowed like Russia, China, North Korean, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Turkey and a few more. Let’s see which country you like best. I guarantee you. You love the USA.
      He didn't say he was offended by Andre Ward having a right to free speech. He said Andre Ward is a racist because of what he said, and he doesn't support racists.

      Just cuz people have a right to free speech doesn't mean you have to like or support everything they say. Weird logic.

                Definitely. He's spoken about how he learned of his father's death, it was quite sudden. Despite his issues, Ward clearly had a lot of admiration for him.

                    Here are the associated tweets/screenshots for everyone's viewing pleasure.
                    And Ward may not be playing any race card because we know an old Hopkins lost split decision to Calzaghe and was stopped by Joe Smith. Two white guys. Yet he mentions Hopkins and Floyd in that list.

                    Possibly Ward might mean that Dan doesn't like technical defensive boxers who some people labelled "boring", as they did to those 3 guys at certain points in their careers?

                      You talk about free speech in countries where you haven't spent a single day. The few things you know about them is what you've heard on tv, which consists mostly of lies.
