Quite puzzling how you can hate and down play an Olympic gold medallist and two weight division World champ but hey ho. You must have hated it when Ward was in the UK last year doing a meet and greet and was showered with love from the UK fans.Last edited by yankees7448; 10-14-2018, 05:12 PM.

I’m not a Ward fan but his opponents had no where near the same level of popularity like Mayweather’s.

Definitely! He got away with too many dirty fights and seemed protected by refs not stopping his tactics.
For boxing fans his fights became predictable because you knew it would end up being a boring clinch fest with headbutts and low blows being allowed.

Because being very good has never been enough to sell tickets on the same level as men who are very good and have a gimmick.
