Cant wait til his fight next month...this kid is special and IMO will go down as a hall of famer and a ATG from 168-175
He is a student of the game and I admire his willingness to learn.
Physical things fade but a sharp mind always improves and evolves.
People who dont know much about boxing dont realize its only 20% physical...the mind plays a huge factor and a millisecond of hesistation could result in a missed punch, a knock down, etc.
I findi t difficult to understand why people are a fan of this guy?
Now, being a fan means to be subjective, not objective, if I was to be the latter, I can see that Ward is a good boxer who has underrated strength. But to be the former, how can one actually enjoy what Ward does?
He has zero personality, he has no flashy combinations or quick footwork or power and most of his fights are a combination of elbows, shoulders, headbutts and clinches. So, what is there to like from a subjective point of view?
True. Guess it comes with the territory for all of the best fighters.
My problem with GGG threads is you rarely see skill breakdowns. It's always business BS. I should make one shouldn't I? :boxing:
I made one, and nobody cares about that type of threads lol, there were like 15 responses.
Clinching excessively while the ref ignores it is not skill. Nor is it an honorable way to win. Every boxing fan should agree with that.
so i guessed yall missed the part when he outlanded his opponents with his hands...i get it....you dont like him or whatever you hold against him, but he has clearly beat every opponent he has faced . If he fouled as much as some of you claim he would have been DQ'ed by now...Ive watched all his high profile fights, people overexaggerate the frequency just to pump up some agenda they have
news flash clinching is a part of boxing. You are taught in the gym when to clinch and how to work out of one. Once again just sounds like a losers mentality to me. Winners find a way to win and adapt, losers complain and make excuses....
whats up with all the crybaby whining? its his opponent's and the opposing trainers responsibility to game plan and adapt....excuses are for losers
there were no head butts in the video, and if you cant give the man credit for his skills and accomplishments, you're obviously a troll....he is one of the most skilled accomplished boxers fighting today

Underdog only because he hadn't fought anyone worth a ****. Of course he was the underdog rarely does an unknown get ranked over two guys featured on TV regularly.
Fact remains, Kessler was a hype job after losing to Calzsghe but a possible HOF fighter after losing to Ward.
lol....Kessler only lost to Calzaghe(HoFer), Ward and Froch will most likely get in as well and are accomplished fighters
You are a crap poster and purposely troll to keep up with your agenda
Kessler was good fighter before and after losing to Calzaghe and retired as one...wins over Froch, Markus Beyer, Eric Lucas, Anthony Mundine, Manny Siaca, Julio Cesar Green, and Dingaan Thobela....bwahahahahaha thats 7 former/current champions or titlists and also was 2 time wbc champ at 168 and unified it with the WBA...DIDNT NEED TO BE ELEVATED TO SUPER STATUS HE EARNED IT IN THE RING.....your boy lil G has only defeated 3, with tv commercials, hbo hypetrain pumping him up...so who is really the hype job?
More like quicksand, imagine trying ti get out while somone tried to hit you in the head with a bowling ball repeatedly. :lol1:

GTFO, you don't want to admit you're a fan boy and no different then some of the other idiots on this site. Find one post where I called any of the SS group bums.
I can go into any number of GGG threads and find the same people posting the same drivel, calling Lemule, Murray, and Geales bums.
If you want to be seen as a respectable poster you should call them out on their bull**** and lies but something tells me you're rather pretend Froch, Abraham, and Mikkel K are HOF and Geale, Lemule, and Murray are C grade fighters, lol.
See you're getting mad. Your love for GGG is turning you against me now. When I have nothing against you personally.
Fact according to what? That's your opinion based on the views of a couple. I can see with my own eyes and follow the sport. Kessler was a good fighter and a good win on anybody's resume.
Let's really talk about facts:
Kessler was one of the favorites to win the Super 6: Fact
Kessler was the #1 fighter in the division: Fact
Kessler was a unified super middleweight champion: Fact
Kessler's only 3 losses were to Calzaghe, Ward and Froch: Fact
Those are facts. YOU are just making up opinions because you don't want to give a rival of GGG any credit.
Just like I told you. You're disrespecting Kessler and other fighters because of GGG.

hopefully he learns not to clinch so much and thankfully his highlight clip video was mostly of other people
You should learn how to clinch your mouth you foot is always falling in it .
Ward gets plenty of credit from me but the fanboys need to grow up and stop disrespecting other fighters because of their dislike for GGG. Odd how Geale, Murray, and Macklin became bums after facing GGG. All good fighters, if you can't agree with that you're a fanboy.

Great vid for technique oriented minds. I think it'll go over the heads of most of the NSB crowd because it isn't a vid of people falling from ko's but I really appreciated the way it highlighted the nuisance and brilliance in the man's style.
