    Andre Ward is a great fighter, but he is not an exciting fighter, it is what it is.
    Everyone doesn't think Ward is boring so that statement is flat out wrong!

      I have no problem with Ward's style, I actually like his fights. It seems as if that's the only knock someone can say about the guy cause all he does is win.

        A lot of people don't like to watch technically gifted fighters and i don't understand why. The sport is called boxing not brawling. It would be boring if everyone had the same come forward and slug it out style. I get as much enjoyment watching a boxer outbox someone for 12 rounds as i do for a slugfest.

          The run-n-shoot offense was exciting in the NFL but every coach who ran it eventually got fired cause that **** never won a Super Bowl. So much for exciting!!
          It is.... and Ward is pretty damn good at that.
          Froch is right though,Ward is boring... at least through mine and a lot of other people's eyes.

            I enjoy Ward's fights. Then again, I'm a boxing fan.

              I have no problem with people feeling he is boring but I hate when people say EVERYONE feels that Ward is boring. Cause I damn for sure don't feel Ward is boring. I don't like how people are trying to place excitment above winning either. Cause they know damn well if a guy gets out of character and fights someones else fight and loses they will call them ****** for that but that is what yall asked for excitment and he lost but know he ******. **** don't work like that in the real world.

              I personally feel that watching to unskilled fighters go at it is boring to me. I can go around my old way put $20 on the curb and tell 2 crackheads to fight for it and get the same unskilled brawl as 2 so called professionals that many feel is exciting.

                Boxing is not sports entertainment.

                  People say the same things about Wladimir Klitschko and Floyd Mayweather. Their fights aren't always scintillating, but if nobody can beat them, what's the incentive to change? The pressure should be on their opponents to make them change.

                    Exciting is what gets you watched and paid. There's always a balance between boring and exciting.

                      There is not balance you either win or you don't. If you can win and be what some call exciting then great but you win first all that other **** is secondary!
