    As said above, Ward's a good guy, but when someone (Who he's always had nothing but GREAT things to say about) comes at him HARD, saying he'll "melt his gold medal" etc. and about how he can't sell tickets and he's nobody etc. You wouldn't lose your cool a bit either? Not to mention, on his twitter if you look over the last couple of days, people have been blowing up his Twitter saying he's "Not supporting his own race" etc. It's ludicrous.

    I'm a Floyd supporter, but this whole debacle that he stirred up over nothing just rubbed me the wrong way.
    But Ward didn't initially lose his cool, he reacted calmly and then the next day challenged Floyd to a fight. Looks like his people gassed him up and told him to respond aggressively.

      OH NO!!! Ward can't be a human being!!! He has to be perfect, and only Floyd can get away with foolishness. SMDH.

        glad FightHype gave Ward a chance to respond instead of taking sides like they usually do

          The "call out" tweet he made seemed to be a joke in response to Dan Rafael, and knowing that it's not a big deal.

          It's the tweet after tweet after tweet that I saw taking jabs at Mayweather that I had a problem with. Why release a statement saying, "call me on the phone and we'll talk like men," when you're just going to go on Twitter and start doing that?

            Ward might be a good guy and all, but I doubt he's just gonna let some midget, peanut headed boy talk **** to him like that. This is boxing. You don't ever let another man get over on you.
            And there u go ignoring the obvious contradiction, but if it were Floyd (Well that's differen) Lol... Idiot

                Floyd acting like a fool is not unusual, Ward taking the bait is out of character.

                  Im not surprised Ward took the "bait". He had to respond and say something. You cant let a man just talk ish and throw shots at you and not say nothing

                  Oakland cats dont get down like that

                    Ward said, you don't call out a fighter who has a fight coming up, very interesting, indeed.

                      This was good publicity for Ward. Hes a great fighter. A pretty good commentator. He should be more popular and im sure he and Floyd still respect each other. Im assuming they talked because Ward did say that everything got squashed the other day. As long as Wards shoulders fine he'll be fine.
