Official Andre Ward vs. Arthur Abraham RbR and discussion thread...

[mathed]

He's a rough fighter but not flat out dirty imo as most seem to believe but thats a quality in its self i guess. I think he is a GREAT inside fighter and while does tie his man up i think Most of the time he lets his hands go and beats guys down at close range. I really thought after Kessler America would jump all over its Gold medal winning star fighter but no.......

If he would stick and move, I'd be a fan but he fights like is afraid to take a punch. He has the skills to be elusive and counter and outbox other guys but he chooses not to for some reason, I just don't get it.

So you're basically saying "keep winning, be boring, and in some miraculous way you'll eventually be great in boxing, which is in fact a sport AND an entertainment business. There is a great difference between Oscar/Ray Leonard and Ward ... They were exciting to watch, man people wanted to see them, but Ward? I don't think so

What was so exciting about Oscar? Most of his big wins was Controversial Decision so it wasn't "POWER"

no what i am saying that it is going to take GOOD MATCH UPS TO BE A BIG DRAW...Example: Match with Froch, Match with Bute, not just being exciting in the ring...only Tyson was a BIG DRAW based PURELY on his style IN THE RING, OSCAR WASN'T!

Oscar draw was his Charisma and lets be honest he also had a lot of "FEMALE FANS", I am not that old but I remember Oscar career very VIVIDLY and trust me it WASN'T his "IN RING ACTION ALONE" that made him into the biggest DRAW IN BOXING HISTORY! Even he would admit that winning the Gold Medal played a MAJOR ROLE in him becoming a SUPERSTAR in boxing and Mayweather actually DEFIED THE ODDS because he was told he WOULDN'T become a Star or a Major Draw because he DIDN'T WIN GOLD!
