The notion that Andre Ward would be more liked if he had a more offensive style...

[travestyny]

Andre Ward has a pretty squeaky clean image. His image is far cleaner than Manny Pacquaio's. Yet I've seen a wholeeeee lot more criticism of Ward's character than Pacquaio's character around these parts.

And that isn't even talking about their fighting styles. People for some reason hate his character! That's more than enough to make any reasonable person think the OP has a great point.

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

You don't look like Ward either. We know this.

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.

So you just said one of the main reasons you don't like him is because of his religious stance and nickname "SOG" yet go on to say he had a different nickname prior and you still didn't like him...

So basically Ward could change every single thing about his persona and boxing style and you would still dislike him. I find that interesting.

Manny Pacquiao housed a wanted fugitive criminal. Impregnated hookers while married. Involved in illegal ****fighting (animal cruelty). And he's involved in all kinds of political bullying and crimes that no one cares to report on. Still loved though.

You're right I don't look like him, I'm a dark skin nigga.

It's not like that with me. It's the fact that he gets blown up as some God like boxer when he does a lot of clinching tactics. That's not what true boxing greatness is about.

Who has blown Andre Ward up as some "Godlike boxer"?

Surely not the media? He isn't even mainstream.

You're full of shit. You're a white troll who pretends to be black.

No no, you simply do not understand how sweet the science is. Ward is the Einstein of the f**king ring. You do not appreciate the fine nuances and the chess grand master mindset and skillset and....
I'm just messing. Ward is boring as hell and he sucks.

LOL you seriously asking me that? He does get blown up by the media. Not as much as others but he's up there. Let's not forget his legion of nut hugging fans on here that pretty much are his fans just cause he's black. Mexicans and other people do it too so it's not just one group before you start crying racism.

[Citizen Koba]

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 to clarify, when you say 'the usual suspects' you mean racists, right? No. Those guys will never like Ward or any other Black fighter I guess. However there are folk who ain't keen on Ward but do like guys like Spence and Crawford. In fact I've even noticed Wilder getting some more love around here over the last year or so... maybe it ain't quite as black and white as you're painting it.

Are you going to claim that there ain't fighters whose style just turns you off?
