Why did all the Mayweather fans turn into Ward fans?

[Ham Porter]

Wait, were they badmouthing Ward before Mayweather retired?

They were when Ward & Mayweather were briefly squabbling in public two & a half years ago.

You'd think they'd pick a more exciting boxer to follow now that Mayweather has retired. I mean do they really love clinching, headbutts, and low blows that much? I don't know why they've all switched to Ward...I mean not only is he boring but he fights even less than Mayweather did.

Why did all the Mayweather fans become Ward fans? Makes no sense.

Wards charisma draws many fans.

Oh ok. What were their names? I want to see what % of Mayweather fans this was.

Why did all the Floyd haters start hating Ward? That's a better question.

[The Big Dunn]

With Floyd posters could pretend the reason they hated him was who he didn't fight, arrogance, spending money, DV, use of social meeting, accusing Manny of PED use, ******** and other things he did outside the ring. With Ward you have none of these things.

Other than being great boxers, fought for the US, and their skin color, Floyd and ward seem to have nothing in common. I just do not understand why those that despise Floyd also now despise ward.

Makes no sense other than the obvious.

Instead of pulling the race card like a little baby, why don't you try watching Ward's fights? Did you ever consider that people may not be a fan of his style - you know, the one thing that should actually matter in determining whether or not you root for a boxer?

Start with the Kessler fight. Ward is a winner, but they way he wins makes him hard to root for.

Tell Lil G to grow a pair and earn a p4p spot by defeating the only p4p calibre guy near his weight.


Mayweather fans didn't turn into Ward friends...that's like saying why are all the Pacquaio fans now GGG fans


Ward has been an established fighter for years now....if anything both their fans like winners, who work hard and are students of their craft


IMO Ward is the most complete fighter today, Chocolatito is up there too

[i'm a fun haver]

Yeah because none of the Americans was rooting for Ward during the Super 6 Right?

Damn this forum is infested with Weirdos who make the dumbest Threads. Some of you clearly can't discuss boxing without Mayweather or Pacquiao being attached to it

African-Americans probably were.
Regular Americans see right through Ward's horse ****

[forget]

I was a Ward fan when he dominated the super six but I always was a Mayweather critic.

There you go. It's all about GGG at the end of the day. And these idiots keep assuming Ward wants GGG. They BOTH don't want the fight. And both are just posturing. When did you see Ward make an effort to make the GGG fight happen? Not once. He could have called GGG's bluff. He didn't.

So let me repeat, both Ward and Golovkin don't want the fight.
