    Do you agree Ward is good at everything, great at nothing?

    First and foremost Andre Ward is one of my favorite boxers.

    In my opinion he's a good fighter all around but he doesn't stand out in anything specifically.

    Perhaps his speed but we've seen faster.

    Is it safe to say this balance contributes to his success?

    Nope.

    Good at everything, Great at game planning.

    He goes out there and you have no clue how he is gonna fight. He has changed his style every match in the Super 6 so far. Ridiculousness.

        He's good at not selling any tickets in his hometown.
        He's good at not travelling for Fights.
        He's good at Headbutting
        He's good at Holding.

        the only advantage he has is that he is by far the smartest AA or even American boxer in the game today.

          He's very smart, he studies lots of tapes of his opponents to see their weaknesses. His opponents probably study him too but obviously Ward is studying harder.

          I'd think Kessler would have learned something from the Calzaghe fight but I guess not because Ward said he studied that tape for the Kessler fight. So, Ward must have seen a mistake Kessler still did on that tape and the tapes after that.

              Not sure what to make of Ward. A gold medalist, never been beat and if he beats Froch then he will be the man of a very good division and already have a good resume. For some reason he just still seems middle of the road to me and that is probably why I would agree with good at everything, great at nothing.

                good point Flicker

                would you agree, because he is so well rounded, he is able to successfully change styles each fight according to his opponent

                  He's only gonna get better, I think he will become great at everything. I think he can be a great inside fighter, a great outside fighter, a brawler, etc. I really like dude inside the ring. Still not sure why so many people hate him

                    Kessler fight while Ward did everything right people hate that it seemed like Kessler was being bothered by the head clashes or butts. It's the same reason Timothy Bradley takes heat, that and it seems like he ducked Khan to look for a cash give away from Floyd or Manny.
