    Lets look how ******ed Nelson is.

    So why should Usyk accept this bout against Ward and waste his time and energy preparing for the bout in the first place if he isn't going to receive much credit, irrespective of the outcome? Especially when he has other options available against other opponents that he'll receive credit if he beats.

    It's not the Ward way. Ward skipped a lot of high purse fights, so why would you critisize Usyk for doing the same thing?

    So yes the arguments are there.

      Usyk wouldn't be the first to not take the biggest fight. Tool.

            Many. If he fights away from home.

              Ward wants Joshua money. I'd make him fight a real contender, before even considering such a circus fight.

                You really haven't got a clue have you? The only market for guys like Usy, Loma and Golovkin to make big money is the US. Sure they might get decent pay being the B side to a Brit but that doesn't really improve there marketability. They need to be noticed in American, which is why they all move there.
                Not necessarily true. There have been many boxers who have fought for most of their careers outside USA whilst still being able to earn sufficiently good money. The Klitschkos, Dariusz Michaelczewski and Alexander Povetkin all spring to mind.

                Boxing is a global sport now and it exists outside of USA. Usyk has fought nearly every top opponent in their back yard, not just in USA. Oleksandr Usyk is not an American boxer but a GLOBAL one.

                On the other hand, Andre Ward is merely an American boxer and a local hero for the most part. As a champion, what if the cruiser weight champion forces Ward to either fight outside USA or they won't give him the fight? Is Ward willing to travel outside of USA? I doubt it!

                  If Ward is able to beat a heavy Weight Champ, well I guess it will be him who takes the TBE title away from Mayweather

                    They all moved to America, to try and make it in America, they know that's the market they need. They can't make the big money anywhere else. Usyk and Loma want to build their fanbase in America why would they choose to fight an American somewhere else? You're making no sense. That "local hero" makes more than Usyk by a lot. Usyk has to travel because he isn't a draw.
