"Why didn't Andre Ward become a star?"


          

He's at worst, #2 p4p, and he has been for YEARS. Decent looking, AMERICAN dude who won a gold medal. Is his career just being mismanaged? The nigga can barely get on regular HBO or ShoBox?

It's not just the AfAm thing. Bradley, Broner and Trout are more famous.

Hopkins is from Philly + is one of the most inspiring people ever.

On top of that, no Pacquiao or Canelo to fight

      Dude. If a Mexican fighter cleans out the Super 6, he's a megastar.
Jul 28th 2014

Jul 28th 2014

                     i think that's mostly a british thing to be honest
Jul 28th 2014

                          Yeah...but even Calzaghe didn't have a Super 6 style run
Jul 28th 2014

                          Fanbase is the main ingredient
Jul 28th 2014

if you're not from a "boxing city" does it help to be from
Jul 28th 2014

Yes. St. Louis is a great city, for example.

Thought he got hurt?
Jul 28th 2014
10
He doesn't seem particularly interested in becoming a "star"
Jul 28th 2014
25
He wouldn't be calling out Mayweather if he didn't want more paper.
Jul 28th 2014
26
He's been too inactive and his style is not appealing to a lot of people...
Jul 28th 2014
27
LMAOO. Active? You mean, like, Froch and Bute DUCKING HIM!??!
Jul 28th 2014

      that was like 5 years ago fam, out of sight out of mind
Jul 28th 2014
32
           He fought Chad Dawson in 2009? Weird. My calendar says 2012.
Jul 28th 2014
35
                He's fought twice in the last 2.5 years. Come on...
Jul 28th 2014
37
                     That's cuz he got hurt. When he was healty, everyone ducked HIM.
Jul 29th 2014
38
                          Okay, great. but the fact still remains...he ain't active enough.
Jul 29th 2014

Jul 28th 2014

Jul 28th 2014

B-Hop wasn't a a gold medalist, and he did a 5 year bid
Jul 28th 2014
