What does Ward have to do to?

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

It will never happen. And with that said he'll still be a first ballot hall of famer when he hangs up the gloves.

Black athletes cant be stars with that type of personality you have to be the "bad guy".

The last black guy that actually smiled and kiss babies and was a crossover star was SRL. Since then Hopkins, Roy, Evander, Winky, Mosley etc haven't reached that status SRL had.

However when you act like a fool and have a bad guy aurora you can be a mega star. (Tyson and Mayweather Jr come to mind)


Look at Broner. People get on him but the kid knows what hes doing. And what do you know he has people talking about him good or bad.

[sicko]

not really it would have helped him had he fought for the LHW lineal, WBC and ring belts but of course Ward would only accept the fight at Oakland and 168

It is still a big fight for him REGARDLESS, only a few on Boxing forums are B!TCHING ABOUT THE WEIGHT but most don't give a damn, they just want to see two TOP FIGHTERS FIGHT! Which is RARE in the sport of boxing today anyway

[SUPREME.]

Ward could definitely start to play the villian role and be good at it.

He'll be hated and people will pay to see him lose.

Kind of a huge sacrifice but will increase his financial return.

Erm, roy and evander were ****ing world stars

Hopkins and winky are not crowd pleasers

Mosley was b level.

Race got nothing to do with it

It's all in the styles

He will be the face of boxing the dudes beat the best In his division all he has to do is keep winning. Pacquiao hasn't got some special personality but he brings exciting fights and that's how he gets fans. Ward isn't the funnest guy to watch but he speaks 100% truth I like the fact he stated in the froch face off that he's human and he can fail too but his will to win is tremendous! P4p #1 in the near future

[Larry the boss]

just keep winning,give the man some time

SO TRUE! Broner gets a lot of headlines and attention and has people talking...while NOBODY talks about someone like say Gary Russell Jr. who is nice and humbled and say all the right things but NOBODY CARES

No question you have to be BOLD in the sport of boxing, while people B1tch about Mayweather and Broner...they can't stop watching them or stop keeping up with what they are doing even when they are not boxing...you have people starting threads on them based on what they do and say on Twitter

But Ward doesn't have to become a "MEGA STAR" but he will still make a ton of money in the sport regardless and that is what it is all about for these fighters...being able to take care of their family! Mayweather and Broner WANT THE FAME and the attention so they do things to get that

[SixFootGiant]

Just keep getting W's. F**k what another n**a gotta say

Well Russell is a bad example, the man simply does not fight enough.

But when he does happen to fight, people do talk.

Gary Russell is still a prospect though, let's wait til gets to contender status and we'll see if he starts trash-talking.
