Not trying to blame all of boxing's ills on Floyd but you can't help but think how influential he is on these young fighters like Dirrell and Ward, who no doubt idolise him. Floyd has become the sort of fighter who will argue why he shouldn't take a fight.
You look at the way Ward, Dirrell and Haye are approaching their careers, and you can't help but see them as wannabe Floyds.
I mean, I don't even think the friendship thing was a real issue between Dirrell and Ward, I just think they wanted the fight to be for more money than they were contracted in to.
Expect Ward to leave the tournament before the end too.
