    Every time I try, I can never rewatch an entire fight of his. I make it to the 3rd or 4th round and I just do something else. When I was watching Ward vs Froch live on TV, I was fairly entertained, but I think that had more to do over the excitement of finally having a winner for the super six. After rewatching it, I realized it was a pretty boring in reality.

    He'll be a huge local draw, but I think that's as far as it goes.

      Ward just have to KEEP WINNING and fight the BEST FIGHTERS...can't worry about a few HATERS on a boxing Forum who find every reason to HATE WARD

      He is already Top 5 P4P...Mayweather and Pacquiao are the only two big Draws is boxing, it is funny how people are talking as if becoming a Draw in Boxing is possible for ALL FIGHTERS...I hate to burst peoples bubble but only a very select few will ever become a MEGASTAR IN BOXING and a HUGE DRAW...A VERY SELECT FEW

      first thing is that it goes beyond just your Fighting Style, it is plenty of exciting fighters Past and Present who are not/did not become HUGE DRAWS

        Very few people make it to "superstar" status. A lot of p4p #1's come around and they do not become the DLH's, Maweather's, Pacquiao's, Tyson's etc.
        But he will have a long career of headlining shows on showtime, & HBO, and can draw a good crowd in his area. He will have a very economically successful career.

          If he blows out froch and beats Kessler into a stoppage I think it would help his appeal a lot I mean hell he's already done it but there coming off of big wins so it looks better to the casual fan.

          And if he blows a few mandatories out it might help him get some appeal.

          Be nice if he could talk a little trash tho.

              I seen him when he was apart of the Showtime team.

              Seemed pretty dull to me.

              Beckham lacks charisma for me and his popularity is high.

                    I hate his style.He does way to much wrestling and holding and hitting, which is illegal but that rule is not always inforced especially in Oakland. His style does hurt his popularity. I hope Dawson beats him.

                      He counter punches brilliantly, can lead off just as well, his inside game is first class, he's got great timing, his defence is as good as his attack, he's got great speed....

                      Ward is a brilliant fighter and in my eye's he's a great fighter to watch as well. I like to see guy's with supreme levels of skill.
