andre ward, imo, needs to come to folks hometowns and stage fights, to build his fanbase brick by brick, much the way the majority of fighters do, who are not huge ko artists, like james toney, pernell whitaker, marvin hagler, winky wright, etc....it also wouldn't hurt, if andre ward, added a couple of ko's of top ten opposition under his belt...andre ward, can also take the route that bernard hopkins took, and soundly beat or ko, big name/cash cow fighters, who are bonified ppv attractions, but are one or two divisions smaller than him...

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
First ballot hall of famer?

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.
Ward just needs to get a few KOs people want to feel there is a chance of a KO.
