I cannot watch the vid, but it was from an article here on boxingscene.

Ward figures Super 6 should have made him a super star.. But the guy who came in 2nd is getting all the glory.
Ward hasn't moved past this yet and is probably a bit delusional about his own star power.
For whatever reason.. Ward has no star power and he needs to accept it and BOX already.
Stardom is like a virus.. Some people catch it and some don't.
It sucks when those not as good as you catch it. But whining about it isn't going to fix it.

What people fail to understand is that it took froch years to become a star, it wasn't until 2012 that he really became a big name in the UK. Froch had to earn his dues....Ward has two good names on his resume, that's Kessler and Froch, whereas Cobra has a whole multitude of whos who at the weight.

Froch paid his dues, Ward has to do the same now.

when talkin about 4 possible fights with russian interim champ, bika, de gale and anthony dirrel:

"we said make us an offer, not one offer has been made. dont believe everything you read"

people are being harsh on ward.

[New England]

he already fought sakio bika...


as for degale and anthony dirrell, the brits would call those "cherrypicks" if he took the fights, and ducks if he didn't.



they're like little children who think their fathers are the toughest guys on the planet.

You mean the same basketball fans who are calling him a b*tch because he wouldn't play because of cramps that kept the guy from being able to walk? Lebron is more hated and unappreciated than any great boxer today.

yes, those people exactly. but you are missing my point completely.

the whole point was regardless of how much people hate him they still watch him play. it doesnt matter if they root for or against him, they watch. when you are the best, people are interested in watching you perform in other sports.

in boxing people dont bother watching greatness, so the sport is no longer about ability. its like a freaking reality show were people get voted on or off depending on how appalling they act (the appalling people being voted to stay).

since its no longer about ability promoters just find popular fighters, hype them up to be great and thats who people tune in to watch. thats how cherry picking came about, back in the day everyone fought everyone because thats how you became a name. by proving you are the best. today its a popularity contest that has nothing to do with boxing ability.

"fans" complain the best fighters dont fight each other, but why would they? its not like it matters, how good you are is irrelevant. quality boxing is boring and being the best is hardly even relevant in the sport anymore.

the most popular fighters are seldom the best so they need to be protected, if people didnt choose to watch them over the top guys they would have no choice but to fight the best and sink or swim. but they do since quality is just boring and uninteresting anyways.

get it?
