    Andre ward is the total package

    So why do I find him so painful to watch??? He does everything well. I dare say he's probably more skilled technically and more versatile than floyd mayweather. But there's something about his game that I cant quite identify that just puts me off so much that it makes me feel like im watching a sloppy fight even though technically everything is on point.

    It's probably how he falls in and forces clinches. I can't stand that

      He could use a little plaster....umm I mean, more punching power to be more exciting but I agree he has it all. With that said I think Bute can match his boxing and give him a tough fight in which either man could win.

        If you want to nitpick his power isn't the greatest. So you're going to watch a lot of decision wins for him with few knockouts.

        As a boxing purist I personally don't mind that in the least.

            He is boring, maybe?

              I disagree. He has the power. He just doesnt follow through with his hooks and overhand rights to really put a hurt on them to get back on defense. But thats not what bothers me either. Its just something I really cant quite put a finger on.

                You know what, I think it's the other way around. He makes his opponents look boring.

                He might not be a KO kind of puncher but he keeps things dynamic, he puts up enough activity to enjoy watching him for 12 full rounds.

                  I thought he did well tonight but himconstantly putting his head in the other guy's face is ****** and cheap. He was tying up more than I would have liked given the fact that he didn't need to but the head shoved in the other dude's face all night was rough.

                    lack of pop, clinch style, dull boring crowds when he fights..

                    Put him in Vegas vs Bute
