Why isn't Ward popular in America?

[etlux]

Despite Ward having by far the strongest resume at 168 and winning the S6 and DOMINATING his opponents with ease why isn't he a superstar in America?


I think it has to do with his race, Yeah definitely his race. There is just something about a black American from America that Americans don't like.


Please don't call him boring cause that'll just make you a racist in my book!

He's boring.

Yes, I agree. It's because his father was a white man.

Ouch...it's gonna take a few new years bottles of rum for OP to live down the shame of that ownage

NSB is just pure gold...


ontopic: ward isn't that popular because of his non appealing way of boxing. it's the same with many others like wlad, hopkins and so on

you're a racist according to OP.

he use the same style Hatton used when people in the UK was calling Hatton "THE GREATEST" Hatton did a ton of CLINCHING and Pushing to get on the inside of his opponents

me personally I never had a problem with Hatton style, but I do see a double standard, it is OK when Khan and George Groves RUN during a match Like Khan did against Peterson and like Groves did against DeGales, they called it "fighting smart" and "Sticking and Moving" for them...but when Dirrell did it against Froch, they called it "RUNNING"

Hatton fights inside and clinches and was called "TOUGH AND RUGGED"...Ward and Bradley does it, they get called "DIRTY" and "BORING"

so no question it is a double standard as far s Styles Go, does Race plays a factor...for some with a 1960's mentality and a Inferiority Complex...ABSOLUTELY! then you have some who are just bias to their Fellow Countrymen

as for Ward Popularity...with respect to Goossen/Tutor which is a decent Promotion...but they are not as big as Golden Boy or Top Rank, I don't think they have the Power or the Connections to make him a more Popular, trying to remember if Goossen/Tutor ever really built up a HUGE SUPERSTAR in boxing In The Past...I could be wrong but I don't think so, I guess you could say James Toney...but Toney was never a "MEGASTAR" or a HUGE DRAW in boxing, everybody is not going to become as big of a Draw as Pacquiao or Mayweather...it is not going to happen...Regardless, Ward can still make a Ton Of Money and go down as one of the greatest without being a "Major PPV Draw"

his style is nothing like hattons...

Why would his father affect his popularity lmao, unless you actually researched that his dad was white you'd never know ward has only mentioned his dad like once and showed a pic once lmao. You fail sir, pple don't like him because the us media has an agenda against black americans in America.

You right about the bias, but it's against whites not blacks. If Ward were 100% black like Evander Holyfield or Floyd Mayweather the US media would love him.

The people in the media know his father was white, so that's why they only half like him.

I'm just teasing you bro. Happy New Year to you.

You've got proof of this, right? Of course you don't.
