this is absolutely true
thing is tho, to attract the fans, get the fights and make the money, you have to have something that that is attractive to the fans
I personally think ward lacks that attraction in the ring and with his persona out of the ring, I think he deserves a break but I think there needs to be a rethink in his camp/promotion
he could be a superstar with a few tweaks
and like I say I think dropping the son of god name would be a massive start
But that's like asking Pep to fight like Saddler or Locche to fight like Jofre. Its not the boxers fault that some fight fans don't understand boxing and also make up the majority of the ppv buying public.Why should he dummy down his abilities to suit them? The two powder puncher defensive wizards I mentioned filled the house every time they fought.
I hear what you are saying, I don't actually think it is all to do with the way he fights, its also the way he is
change the name, say something interesting, fight outside America, go and interrupt a carl froch presser
he could fight someone hes got no chance of losing to and knock him out in a round, get a built up opponent or 2
he destroyed chad dawson at super middle, got little praise for it because people said chad was drained, so fight him again at light heavy, in chads home town
at the minute he just isn't interesting
Officially the only saddo who has had a girlfriend
