    He would be seen as a coward. The bias against him is huge by insecure Ward **** suckers.

      Three is too many, in my opinion. One or two would be fine, but a third one would be pushing it

        It'd have more to do with him needing exposure for the PPV than him moving up in weight.

        By then he'd have 4 fights at 175 under his belt in under 2 years...so yea...

        They're gonna make the fight PPV and they're gonna need to ramp it up/build it up as soon and as much as possible.

        three will probably include the PPV and 2 before the fall

          He gets called a coward for fighting in another division. Now just imagine if he fought in the same division as Ward? That would be insane. Those same Ward fans calling him a coward are the same fans that ride Floyd's jock. It took Floyd how many years to fight Pac?

            Sorry but who cares who he's fighting at the end of the deal. If he's going to fight 4 times within a year two of those fights need to be against top level comp

            Instead of:

            1. Tune Up
            2. Tune Up
            3. Tune Up
            4. Big Fight

            It should be:

            1. Tune Up
            2.Big Fight
            3. Tune Up
            4. Big Fight

            Ward just taking advantage of the system.

              Would be looked at like any other year in his career. Par for the course.

                2 fights wouldn't be a problem IMO.

                    No fighter needs 3 tune ups. Honestly no fighter need tune ups at all. It's a way promoters and certain fighters milk the system and cheat the fans.

                    How many tune ups did Leonard need before fighting Hagler.

                    How many did Manny need before facing Cotto?

                    If you need 3 tune ups you better be fighting Jesus at the end of them all.
