Updated Ring rankings...Ortiz debuts as #3 WW

[ИATAS]

I think it's debatable that he was top 6 IMO.

It's actually not debatable Bika was ranked #6 by the Ring at the time.

[Rick Grimes]

Just keep hyping Ward up then his name will look great on Froch's resume.

so basically, ur argument is u dont like his style? well ok...but thats ur personal preference. to me, there are more than one way to fight and dominate an oppnenet. ward has been dominant for the last 3 yrs or so. many ppl have said they see a p4p fighter in him. hes no hypejob and he doesnt do much talking. if u dont like how he fights, thats one thing.

This is more the just fighting style. I have to watch the bika fight again. But that had some alarm bells going off in my head. That ward may not be as good as we thought. He wasn't that effective out boxing a guy who an elite fighter should be able to out box thoroughly. He in turn resorted to fighting bika's fight and I still don't understand why. He ended up with cuts etc and just made that much harder then it shoulda been. And that fight was muc closer IMO then the cards.

I want to see him fight in a neutral venue with proper refs and see how good he is against top level op. MSG vs the froch/Johnson winner will answer a lotta questions to me. As long as the ref is competent.

what boxer has effectively outboxed bika?

Bute outclassed him. Though it wasn't terribly entertaining.

[J Dubb II 330]

no boxer has, not even the great Joe cal. he is a tough as opponent and a solid name on his resume,aside from the fact he had ni choice but to fight green and Bika due to withdraws from the super six and dempsey is right, Froch may have a great resume but he hasn't looked impressive in recent fights except AA which Dirrell laid down the blueprint, any high output slick boxer can beat AA,

Bika won at most 2rds against bute and it was easy work. So ya 1 boxer has done that.

he didnt effectively outbox him tho. ward outclassed him as well. it wasnt as close as u make it seem.

Good news is Pac-Mosley will not be for the Ring belt now.

Froch is hardly slick and Dirrell was running for his life and possibly faked an injury at the end of the fight.
