    I need you to compile evidence of Mayweather fans suddenly becoming Ward fans. Which posters specifically are you referring to? You have to have some in mind since it's such a prevalent thing apparently. Give me at least a couple examples of these posters, and detail the exact moment in which they became super mega Ward fans out of nowhere. Also provide proof that they were not Ward fans before Mayweather retired. For example, you can provide me a post where they said they didn't think highly of Ward before Mayweather retired.

    I expect this on my desk by 4:00 pm.

        Floyd fans were already Ward fans from the super 6 , why is it in here only Manny fans are so short sighted ?

          We thought people only hated Floyd because of the flossin, domestic violence charges, and his mouth. If that is the case then why all the hate on Ward? He is nothing like Floyd outside the ring.

            People really do hate Floyd because he's a lowly person.

            With Ward it's more like wanting him to get his career on track and see him in a good fight after years of talk.

            Now why "TMT" crowd loves Ward, that's fairly self-explanatory. I don't think anyone expected them to become Krzysztof Wlodarczyk fans.

              Ward has basically had a decent sized fanbase since winning the Super Six.

              Haters keep ignoring it, but Ward drew 1.3m viewers for his HBO debut against Chad Dawson, before drawing 1.2m viewers for his fight against Edwin Rodriguez (near no name ID) on HBO.

              Americans are going to root for Americans, before anything; when Roy Jones Jr was doing his thing, Floyd Mayweather Jr was also building his buzz. This is no different.

If that doesn't sound silly, I don't know what is. Funny part is they're not even sure whether Ward wants the fight or not. They just assume he does.
                All Golovkin and his camp have to do is say that they were bull****ting when they were talking all that **** about Andre Ward and "taking on any fighter 154 to 168"; be honest with the public and simply say "we don't want that work from Andre Ward".

                That'll never happen, because doing so will kill the entire marketing push behind the man, so Golovkin apologists are going to have to sulk in that knowledge.

                  A lot of Mayweather fans on here were definitely more vocal on Ward after the whole 'Golovkin would beat Mayweather' debate.

                  They wanted to see Golovkin lose and Ward was a possible opponent.

                    Yeah, show me the part where Ward called GGG's bluff.

                    GGG can call out Ward all he wants, but if Ward himself doesn't want the fight what difference does it make? Show me anything where Ward made a huge effort in making the GGG fight happen. Funny part is you people get duped by Ward's fake posturings. He's a huge joke. All you have is silly assumptions.

                      Yep ward was once the #2 p4p fighter
