Ward on GGG. "Its over Im moving."

I hate Ward but it's absolutely hilarious to me he cleaned out 168, and wanted to fight the best at 160 before fighting the best at 175(which Ward has signed to do) and somehow he's the bad guy.

But a 34 year old guy who has fought nobody turns him down and is the good guy.

I've seen it before when PAC backed out of the Mayweather fight in 2010, and I see one clear similarity.(actually 2, as both times the guy that would have lost is the good guy that refused)

I agree that Ward is a great fighter who has proven that he will fight anyone. Have to disagree strongly with your statement that Pac backed out of the Floyd fight in 2010. I recall both fighters refusing to compromise and the fight falling apart.

Also, think you mischaracterize certain points in your statement. Floyd was hated because of the persona he created to promote himself and make more money, not because the a Manny fight fell through. Ward is a lot like Tim Tebow to me: a religious guy who wins and puts in honest work and is despised by many (for some unknown reason).

I don't think its a case that people despise Ward, far from it, I think people find him massively frustrating due to his lack of fights, everyone recognises that he is a massive talent but over the past few years we have just not seen that talent enough
