    Should Andre Ward's headbutting and holding tactics be permitted?

    Ward is a fantastic boxer, very skilled and I believe to be the best pound4pound in the game right now.

    He's going to have a lot of trouble finding fights.

      Should Wladimir Klitschko's tactic of leaning on his opponents be permitted?

        Should he always fight at home? Everybody else in the Super Six had to fight in a foreign country.

        Should he have demanded Chad Dawson fight him at 168, so Chad would be weight-drained?

        Why does Andre Ward work with Victor Conte?

          You mean Chad Dawson lol and to answer your question...

          Yes. Simply because he is the Son of God. Jesus does as he pleases. Simple.

            A lot people dont seem to mind Hopkins tactics so I guess why not... Hopkins was way dirtier from what Ive seen anyway.

              Andre Ward is better and more exciting than either Klitschko. Wlad cheats with his holding more than Ward. Wlad always fights in Germany, worse than Ward in Oakland.

              Deal with it.

                klitschko fan complaining about holding. =\

                I don't think Ward did much holding in the Dawson fight, which isn't a coincidence that it was the first Ward fight I enjoyed.

                But, yes, too much holding and clinching should make a ref take a point off just like it was done in that one Berto fight.

                    Son of God?

                    Or would "Son of Goat" be a more fitting nickname for a boxer who relies on headbutting and other illegal tactics?
