Why do people dislike Ward?

[Guest]

Mad he always wins.
Maybe only the anti America and Anti boxing guys hate him

That's EXACTLY what it is. If you don't want to see someone headbutting, it's because you hate America. Well done you.

1) tryna make money fights w guys he has no business in the ring with (mayweather, froch 2, chavez jr)
2) not tryna fight guys he does have business in the ring with & fans want (ggg, kovalev, stevens)
3) his fighting style is rediculously excessively BOOOOOORING
4) did he really have to drain dawson?
5) does he always have to fight in wack asz oakland?
6) is he really fighting la bomba? lol

I don't really know too many people who dislike Ward tbh

Come on, this is a non-question.

I love Ward as much as I love any God-botherer who looks like he's had a stroke, but he's hardly Mr. Excitement, is he?

MMA? That's where they grapple and headbutt, right?

Yeah, Ward's a true artist... only people with your esteemed intellect will be able to grasp this. Well done you.

SMH...I'm talking about people who like to see brainless brutes in the ring as opposed to fighters who display a lot of intelligence and skill. Yes, Ward will clinch and fight on the inside...but how is Holyfield gonna get praised for doing these same things while Ward doesn't??? Ward fights excellent on the inside and outside...if you think he is boring, I cannot change that, but our sport is being corroded due to unfair expectations.

Define what is exciting to you...IMO, when a fighter exerts dominance in many styles and you have no answer for it-that is exciting to me. Ward is a class above the rest in his division and he shows that. To think he only grapples and headbutts is ******.
You forget that his opponents often hold him as well, and that in reality there have only been a few fights where head clashes were a small factor.If he rushes in,it is up to his opponent to use range or defense-or put him in check with an uppercut, but because they have no answer you guys complain about Ward?

If grappling and fouls was all Ward did-he would be despised by me-but if you don't see his skills-you are a blind man.

1) I don't think the Floyd fight was a serious proposal lol Froch 2 is something a lot of fans wanna see. I don't think it's necessary personally but it's a legit fight considering the quality wins Froch has had since they fought. Jr. looked like a more legit fight before Vera imo. Now it looks like a joke. But Ward isn't exactly the hardest puncher and Jr. walks through a lot of shots to land his own. Not the worst fight in the world but a definite money grab lol I'll give you that
2) None of them are in his division. I don't see why he HAS to fight them just yet. I don't think Ward could make 160 so GGG should move up. I say Ward fights the Stevenson-KOvalev winner
3)To each his own
4) Dawson offered to come down.....don't see how it's Ward's fault. Dawson never should have put himself at a disadvantage like that.
5) Out of 26 fights, only about 5 have been in Oakland....his next one is in Ontario.
6) I think that's a very legit fight coming off the layoff he's had. Undefeated guy who's beaten solid competition.
7) RJJ is terrible at commentary lol he's very biased. Paulie is great though and better than Ward. Ward is between Roy and Paulie imo.
8) That's just the injuries lately. He's normally more active.
9) Not nearly as much as many others.
10) So Froch, Abraham, Kessler, and Miranda don't have high KO%?

I called out the black posters for their blatant racial solidarity with black fighters the other day.

Now I'm gonna keep it real the other way.

A lot of people don't like Ward cos he's black (yes, I know he's mixed race but he's viewed as African-African). There's a whole bunch of people who simply don't like black fighters.

Then you've got faqqot-ass European posters don't like him cos he outclassed Froch, Kessler and Abraham.

The kid to me is class. The way he fights, talks and conducts himself is just awesome to me. Even his trash-talking is interesting.

I'm glad he doesn't ****** it up like Mayweather and Broner. He could easily sell his soul and adopt the persona of the loudmouth black like those other two idiots but the boy keeps it ****ing real. He just comes to fight, no bullshiet.

I dont like him because he openly rooted for a mexican to beat floyd. You didnt see marquez rooting for floyd vs canelo

I enjoy watching Rigo and Floyd and don't find them boring at all, but something about Ward puts my ass straight to sleep.
