    Ward DOMINATED his competition in the Super Six. He does not have the highest KO percentage so he gets categorized as garbage? He just made the best Super Middleweights look "inferior!"

      Agreed. Ward is a surgeon in the ring. I thought with Froch, being the heavier handed fighter, Ward would have to dig deep to survive a war. Never happened.

          For someone so boring, you sure are giving him a lot of your time, energy and attention. Just saying.

            Although he's looked very boring in past fights, last nights fight was very entertaining and Ward fought his ass off. He didnt avoid mixing it up with Froch, and when clearly ahead in thead 12th, he still came out to fight instead of playing it safe and protecting his win.

            Props to Ward!!!

              Ward had better keep fighting in his backyard if he wants to sell any tickets in the future. You remember how fans couldn't give half a **** about Hopkins until he became the old man who was still beating the young guys? That is where Ward is heading with casual fans. Hell, casual fans still don't buy fights that Bernard is in unless its to see the other guy. Ward is like Hopkins and Hatton ****ed and had a kid, and that kid was raised by John Ruiz.

                  I don't find Ward boring at all. I like the way fights. Damn good inside fighter, can fight from the outside, and mid range. Has a high IQ...Can out class you or get rough wit you. He can beat you in different ways. There's not many of this new age fighters who fight like this anymore. So it's refreshing to see.

                  I get entertained by his fights. I don't think he's boring.

                      On style alone I wouldnt pay to see it on PPV, but once he gains some recognition, and keeps winning, he will eventually be a ppv fighter depending on who his opponent is. Styles make fights and he will be very entertaining to watch against come forward all action fighters. Against a similar technical fighter, it would make for a snoozefest unless you're the type who's into non action chess matches.
