    I think he's the second best boxer in the USA after Mayweather. He has a style that is very difficult to beat.

    I think some people label him boring because he doesn't have a devastating KO punch.

        They're not Boxing fans and don't appreciate the technique and art it takes to fihgt on that level..... they want every fight ot be a brawl and a slugfest.....

        MMA fans are worse about this.... Whenever its a suregical dismantling and tactical fighting goes on people always say "its boring" ... Learn than damn sport before actualyl watching it........


        Like The Black Mamba always says "Most people don't shi about Boxing!"

          Ward is dope, his style is like a breath of fresh air to me cause he's technically sound and he got heart. And he's from the bay. Lol, but real talk I'll back him and nonito, both good fighters I hope they can get more exposure to the casuals.

            I'm actually surprised by the amount of haters he gets. He's one of the most humble and respected fighters and he still gets sh#tted on.

              Casuals hate pure boxers. I personally love them. Ward is technically flawless. His jab is a thing of beauty.

              He doesn't have power, but he has enough to make most of his opponents run from him and turtle up.

                    He doesnt really get hate to be honest. He just doesnt get praised by many who prefer more action packed fighters. He's a great technical boxer who has all the fundamentals. Problem is, given his style, he will never really appeal to the casual fans.

                      The thing I don't like about Ward is the constant clinching. He did it literally over 30 times in the fight. What he does is not "inside fighting". You need to throw punches for it to be considered fighting. Holding is against boxing rules and he never gets docked for it.

                      His actual skills like his jab, and movement are good. Quit fucking holding Andre, just like your brother Berto.
