    Is complete BS.

    Please stop with that. We already know what it is when it comes to the hatred that Ward receives from the usual suspects. It wouldn't matter if Ward was 35-0 with 33KOs, take a look at Deontay Wilder and where that record of high KO % got him.

    Stop spreading this lie. You will continue to hate Ward up until the day he retires.

    Just like u love slick fighters but love u some Errol spence. Seriously man quit feeling sorry for yourself. Boxing cool because styles make fights & its always fun to watch a ko artist beat a defensive fighter. Just so happens a lot of black fighters are defensive but not all.

      I don't get what point you're trying to make with the bolded. Are you implying Spence isn't slick?

        Yeah, it is BS. Boxing is deeper than styles, it goes beyond that, obviously.

        The whole "finesse" hatred would be loved on other certain fighters.

        The "all action" style would be hated on a certain group of fighters.

        Liking fighters is pretty much a black and white subject for many.

        Some fans are in the grey area and these fans' opinions aren't accepted by either side.

          Ding ding ding ding, on the nose! Im not saying hes Brandon Rios but hes no defensive wizard. He is black though if u havent noticed so hes probably got a slick bone in him somewhere.

            Look at Conor McGregor. He's brash, loud, obnoxious and talks a lot of trash. He wears loud clothing and ***elry and he's still loved in his sport. But Floyd is hated by all.

              So what? Not every fighter will be liked.

                Still not too sure where you're going with this. But yes, I do like Spence a lot. And he's not sloppy or a full blown brawler. He gets on the offensive when it's needed.

                  Of course, almost no fighters who look like Andre Ward are liked by the masses. Interesting, don't you think?

                    I wouldnt like him regardless. In not feeling his persona with that god worshipping sht. He comes off as stale and rubbish.. *** his nickname too.

                    He used to be called All Terrain fighter before changing up to Son of God. Complete ***in rubbish.
