"As the only male American boxer to claim Olympic gold since 1996, Ward joined the likes of Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard and Oscar De La Hoya."


Let's be honest. This is the real reason why Ward gets shoved down our throats despite his crass inactivity and now his shameless cherry picking.

Cleans out the SMW division in a tourney, now he acts as if he wants no part of being a champion. Total turnaround. Bad management maybe?

Bad management, and getting caught up in his own hype. When you've been anointed the next great American p4p hope... and are part of this "lineage" as shown above... makes it easier to sit back and think the world owes you something. Add to that his moniker which rubs many people the wrong way... and it's not difficult to blow the guy off entirely.
