Good offense, Good defense, rarely drops a round, good inside game, fast, also headbutts lol, strong. Just a very good all round fighter with no noticable flaws.

Resume wise

Ward

Kessler-Abraham-Froch-Dawson

Bradley

Witter-Holt-Petersen-Alexander

Edge to ward, but Bradleys isn't too shabby and he dominated them all too.

To compare Bradley and Ward is asinine. Ward's game is highly multifaceted. Bradley's only strong points are his pressure and conditioning.

Bradley is quite well rounded as a fighter. Not like Ward but how many fighters are? Bradley has pressured and boxed at a high level and dominated.

I think Tim is a better fighter than Ward.

Before Bradley faced an ATG in Manny Pacquiao, he was concensus top 7 P4P, and highly rated.

Since he "lost" to a guy who is levels above anyone Ward has ever fought the opinion of him has gone way down, obviously the Ward crew don't want to compare him to a guy who just "lost"

Take pacquiao out of the equation (I think Ward would be done in a simmilar style if he faced a young RJJ for instance) and I don't think there is a massive gap as many are making out.

Sure, he has been competing at a high level and has won. However, I disagree to an extreme degree about him being a "well-rounded" fighter. Bradley wins based on pressure alone. His opponents typically wilt, which leads to their downfall.

What would you say are Bradleys flaws, if he's not a well rounded fighter?

That has nothing to do with this thread

We are talking about two current P4P top 10 fighters.
