Is Andre Ward's style dangerous?

Maybe if it was "charging in", like you claim yes it would be. But that is absolutely not (how) Andre Ward fights.

Hey, he's dominating the crap out of everybody so it's obviously working for him.

But I do agree a bit, I see openings where he can be timed/caught, but keep in mind, this is me observing this while sitting on my fat yank ass watching him fight. I've heard fighters say he has a very deceptive style, and they get shocked how different it's being in there with him than watching him. So as Floyd says, it looks different from the outside and it's very different when you're actually in there.

Andre Ward does not have 1 specific style. He's probably the most versatile fighter in the sport. Text book, knows how to fight at distance, inside, rough, patient, this dude is just amazing to watch. Considering he isn't that fast, or that powerful. Just a student of the game. Excellent, well rounded fighter.

Love Ward. P4P #1 right now in my opinion.

Everyone get caught just ask Pacquiao, But I think people fear head butts from him and Bradley. So far they have been lucky they haven't met a hammer fist or a great counter puncher

Ward (seemingly) patterned his style after Bernard Hopkins, arguably one of the greatest defensive fighters of his generation. Everything is set up with footwork. Ward fights more aggressively than Hopkins did so he'll incur greater risk at times but for the most part he's exceedingly well protected.

No, because he's careful where he puts his head. He's not just charging in, chin-up.

Seems like Ward is a popular guy, plenty of people are picking up his particular style of fighting.
