[A.K]

Real niiggas don't support hoe niiggas like Andre , but hoe niiggas always stick up for each other.

1) Try reading the article. Nearly everyone ranting against Ward here didn't actually read the article. His stance couldn't be more reasonable.

2) Ward has been catching shyt since loooooong before the Kovalev decision.

GGG has been catching more sht.

LLL and all that stuff, lil G...

Is that due to the fact that he's white?

We both know, most of his haters are "racially motivated".
You won't see GGG btch like Dre.

You gonna explain it with that lack of opposition, but Ward has fought 3 bums and Kov since 2012 so 5 years.

We both know Dre is a damn cool guy, but all that SOG bullsht was OBVIOUSLY going to fireback, ridiculous out of their ass management.

Hell Dre has been the most poorly managed top fighter in the last decade, horrible management.

This forum would be a lot better without race baiters like Beercules who happen to get in on the first page of every thread just to drop some meaningless veiled BS that 10 times out of 10 has nothing to do with boxing.

What makes it funnier is that he pretends to be a former US soldier. Considering the number of blacks in the armed forces, I'm not sure where he picks up such disdain for blacks.

And I'm white by the way. But that f*got has mastered his little ruse.

Yes, there are some that bash Golovkin for his race (or that he's not the race they like). He's finally doing what his critics were calling for and deserves credit. His last fight might have not been as exciting as most but for the most part he brings entertainment and I think boxing fans should be appreciative. Even Loma seems to be catching some bashing that's race motivated.

A lot of it is just the byproduct of different fanbases attacking each other but I don't like it, no matter the reason.

Kovalev does not keep it quiet. What about all of the times he's called people pieces of ***** and the racist comments? What about the time he had his son wear a shirt that had the face of a chimpanzee on to the body of Adonis Stevenson. I wouldn't call it going against the grain because a lot of people seem to be quite entertained and even agree with the trash and derogatory statements that he makes. But he definitely doesn't keep it quiet.

Calling someone a piece of **** doesn't really bother most people and it shouldn't. The chimpanzee thing and racist comments were out of line but also mostly left alone by the media, and he never rehashed or defended those comments he moved on. I'm playing Devil's Advocate here

Take that bulschit and shove it man. You are covered based on what you say and you say some arrogant, self-entitled things. You strutted around knowing you got a gift, talking about Killa Kov making excuses, but once you found out that the majority of people thought you lost the fight, you started talking about retirement and how you hold all the cards or whatever.

Race has nothing to do with anything, you're half caucasian anyways, stop crying with that worn out narrative. Stop acting like everyone owes you something and stop providing hugfests in the ring and you'll get respect. I did some pretty cool stuff when I was 10 years old but I don't expect people to kiss my ass now that I'm a grown man.

Hey Man, We got Ruskies and Mother Grabbers,

I personally don't give a ****!

Whoever brings the "Goods" is where it's at!

Most of what Ward said is on point Americans who would rather cheer for an Russian than an American Olympian is unusual one can only assume they identify with race more than nationality.

True because black Americans are so nationalistic. They all support white American athletes over a Haitian, African or Jamaican blacks.

Lmaoooooooooooo

If anything whites are the least racist on earth. We support any race while "**********" mostly root for their own. The race card is only used when whites do it tho...

[FeFist]

Ward and Kovalev are different personnalities, Ward is a smart and confident guy but also a kinda fruity and arrogant guy.

Kovalev is seen as a russian idiot but a funny guy and a bas ass.

You're just seeing different colours...I can't blame you.

Thank you for proving my point.

I dare anybody to find me ward haters prior to him calling out ggg... they didn't exist. all this ward hate begun when he pulled ggg's hoe card and exposed him to the world as fraud. he made lil g change the meaning of "anyone from 154 to 168" and lil g's cheerleaders and backers (from fans to biased HBO and so called journalists) hated ward ever since.

these are the same people who claim to hate floyd and broner for being loudmouth and arrogant. ward is no such thing yet he receives the same level of animosity. so is it really a personality thing or something else? i know it all boils down to ward derailing the lil g hype train.

they call him "smug" or full of himself, he thinks too highly of himself..lol.. since when is that a reason to dislike somebody? he's articulate and a great ambassador for the sport, family man and humble. who cares though..he punked lil g and Dre will never be forgiven for that.

but if we wanna talk about personalities explain why these ppl support kovalev? the guy is a sore loser, a proven racist and scumbag. he stalks ward on social media, calls him f*ggot, mother****er, n-word (in russian), he tells ward supporters to suck his d*ck, he used his own son as a prop to racially attack adonis, he hasnt stopped making excuses since the first fight, he blatantly disrespects his trainer, he bashes american trainers on russian media..and this is the personality these ward haters approve of...

kovalev is a vodka drinking, foul mouthed neanderthal with no integrity. period.
