Who has the more entertaining, fan-friendly style: Andre Ward or Wladimir Klitschko

Both can be boring but i'd rather watch Ward to be honest. I can't really be entertained by a guy who grabs and holds an opponent several inches shorter and 20 pounds lighter than himself every time the opponent gets close. My vote goes for Ward

There is more value in a single Klitschko entrance than there is in Ward's entire boring career. Yeah, it's sad when we talk about Klitschko's fights that the entrance is the first thing that springs to mind.

/Thread , you cannot ask who has more fan friendy style (which was the OP question) and ignore the fact that both are the best in their division (so they are both recognized) but only one gets 10Mil Euro + a night and packs the O2 while the other , i promise you can walk down any street in the world and wont get recongnized , Ward has no fan friendly style nor anything else fan related. if the OP was aksing who you perfer to watch, thats something that some of the responses here make sense. 10 million euro a night? :lol1: I don't know what you've been smoking, but it's time to pass it on. Klitschko makes an average 3 or 4 per night, but did get massive paydays vs Haye and Povetkin where he wasn't the reason behind those paydays. If Klitschko was that popular in Germany, I'm sure he'd be on PPV and wouldn't have to give out free tickets to his fights.

Ward's ability to fight in and out of the clinch is a beauty to watch. Also enjoy how he works his way in, Ward rarely gets touched on the way in. It's Ward for me.

Let's see, Wlad has a monstrous jab as well as a right hand that often decapitates his opponents.. Ward has...super feather fisted punches that he only uses when his repeat cycle of clinch, clinch, headbutt, elbow, clinch has already been used Wlad packs stadiums, Ward can't even get 8,000 people in his own home town. /Thread , you cannot ask who has more fan friendy style (which was the OP question) and ignore the fact that both are the best in their division (so they are both recognized) but only one gets 10Mil Euro + a night and packs the O2 while the other , i promise you can walk down any street in the world and wont get recongnized , Ward has no fan friendly style nor anything else fan related. if the OP was aksing who you perfer to watch, thats something that some of the responses here make sense.

I like watching both of them. Wlad could do with less clinching and Ward could go for the KO much more often, but they both have interesting styles. Wlad is more exciting because you know 80% of the time a brutal KO is coming. Dirty tactics in the pocket don't annoy me nearly as much as flat out running does so as far as "slick" styles, Ward is not so bad.

Ward usually boxes even though his foul play is disgusting at times (see Kessler). But nothing compares to the eye-scraping, suicidal evoking experience that is watching Wlad hug & clinch a guy who's 30+ lbs lighter & often 3-4 inches shorter.

uh oh, wlad leading, someone should tweet this to ward :lol1:

That gets overlooked, Ward is pretty good inside I think I can safely say that but many are oblivious to the fact that he hasn't faced one opponent, I mean one, who can throw short compact punches. That's really bothersome for me. There isn't any potential opponents that fit that description.

What do you disagree with exactly? The only time Ward has fought against anyone who actually did something up close he didn't look comfortable at all.

So which one of these hugging, loving, fouling fakers are the most entertaining.. my money is on Ward :boobies: Vladdy KO...but close. I can appreciate the mastery shown by these two top 5 P4P fighters who systematically break down their opponents. Top 10 P4P List: 1 Money May 2 Ward 3 Sergio 4 Vlad KO 5 Bradley 6 Pacquiao 7 Froch 8 JMM 9 D. Garcia 10 Canelo :boxing::boxing::boxing:

At this point, easily Ward.

Gotta call u on that Rube, Ward is a fantastic inside fighter, real clever in there. What do you disagree with exactly? The only time Ward has fought against anyone who actually did something up close he didn't look comfortable at all.

Hugfests with a KO > hugfests that go to decision this, actual ko's occur usually with wladamir

Ward has...super feather fisted punches that he only uses when his repeat cycle of clinch, clinch, headbutt, elbow, clinch has already been used Wlad packs stadiums, Ward can't even get 8,000 people in his own home town. This exactly. Ward must be the most boring champion of all time.

It doesn't lead to inside fighting really, Ward doesn't know how to punch cleanly on the inside, he is comfortable mugging on the inside against fighters who have no clue as to what to do from that distance. Obviously works more than Grabimir but you only need to throw one punch to accomplish that. Gotta call u on that Rube, Ward is a fantastic inside fighter, real clever in there.

Wlad, purely for the fact that he atleast attempts to finish a fight.

Ward by about as much as Golovkin is over him. Wlad I respect, but he bores me to death S.O.G is a fighter i really enjoy watching

Its a draw. But Wlad landing 1 clean right hand shot > Ward landing a 3 punch body head body combination
