    Of course you don’t understand. Ward is pro-everybody. Perhaps you don’t like Ward being objective and you just don’t like him, so much that Ward gave his professional opinion that Fury won? Facts are facts. Unless of course you thought the fat version of Fury fighting Pieneta made him the favorite?

      Ward saying that Wilder is going to want nothing to do with Fury in a rematch doesn't sound very objective to me especially after seeing how these negotiations are turning out. I bet Ward won't go back and amend that statement.

        Ward didn’t say that, that’s being retorted.

        Go look at Ward’s tweets on fight night. He had Wilder by KO before the match, gave an UNPAID round by round scenario, scored it live. Said Wilder had to win by KO going late rounds. No honest boxing fan said that Wilder outboxed Fury.

        So then Ward says Wilder might not want to go through that again. Why isn’t Ward given benefit of doubt to like Fury’s performance given the odds and coming back from Pieneta? Why don’t diehard Wilder fans admit that both guys can come and do their homework. Why is it bad that Ward could say that the rematch could be bad for Wilder?

        The same Mayweather haters who hated Ward used Floyd’s opinion that Ward lost to Kovalev. The Ward supporters and channels said Ward won.

        Now it’s all about tit for tat, “well we supported you” and they get upset that Ward is pro-everybody.

        The problem with some boxing fans is that you use boxers for your own agendas, and distort different meaning from a tweet.

        If Wilder loses next this racial opportunist divide is going to come back and bite.

          Well it is a great move for ESPN!

          ESPN now have a Marquee Heavyweight but this could be great for AJ and Wilder as well because when they talk about Fury they have to talk about AJ and Wilder as well.

            I doubt Fury rematches Wilder now.

              It is a good move by Fury to try and break into the US market with the largest sports brand having his back.
              He has the personality and skin colour to probably create some buzz among sports fans the only thing he might not have are decent names and a style that naturally draws people in. Probably gets some no names for the first fight or two that whoncan get the KO and make people think he has power like that
