I think the ideal blend for a boxer is 1/4 Mexican (for tenacity), 1/8 Japanese (for toughness), 1/4 North Korean (for mysteriousness), 1/4 black (for upper body strength), 1/4 white (for well-roundedness), 1/8 Eskimo (for fighting in cold climates), & 1/4 Australian (to be able to train alongside Jeff Horn). If a boxer has this blend of genetics they are virtually unbeatable.Comment

I've posted that pic before. Yes, his father was Irish-American. I made a post asking why Ward is not accepted by the white community in the forum despite being literally half white. If only Ward's whiteness had shown up in his skin color.Comment

Ward is a good boxer who never plays up his racial make up but always acknowledged that he's mixed. People react to him based on who he just beat. I'm sure a lot of people hold it against him that he beat Chad Dawson at a weight that even Dawson agreed to fight. We also know a lot Kessler fans and more recently Kovalev fans didn't like that he got a W against both. Ward is in the unique position to be loved by blacks and whites while being hated by both at the same time.Comment
