No way.

Family man and one of best nice guys in the sport of boxing today.
It's not a slate on his morality or ethics it's about the rubbish that pours out of his mouth. He fights Paul Smith...Paul Smith? at a catchweight and then tries to make it something it wasn't ,going on about having to watch for Smith's big right hand ? What big right hand ? The guy believes his own hype. Froch retires and then Ward goes on to say how he saw a lot of himself in Froch, always looking to challenge himself etc. Ward refused to challenge himself and fight outside of Oakland for most of his career, or America, and then wants the same props as guys who regularly travel to fight. Chalk and Cheese Andre, not the same at all. Now apparently he is going to fight Kovalev and then it turns out he means maybe next year. There seems to be no concrete offer to fight GGG either and yet already everyone is giving props to somebody who has fought once in 19 months and then against a washed up journeyman at a catchweight and yet Golovkin who has defended his titles 6 times is apparently the hype job.

Admittedly not the biggest douche in the Universe (Broner ? Chavez Jr ? Dame Cotto? FMJ?) but surely a contender ?
