    they weren't doing the shoulder jump or clamping each others arms after watching ward "fight"? they must not be true boxing fans.

      Mayweather easily.

      I respect Ward as one of the best in the world but I don't enjoy the majority of his fights

          I agree with many of the sentiments in this thread. Ward is hard to watch, he has a great boxing IQ but his style is not aesthetically pleasing at all. The guy clinches way too much. He basically hits you then hugs you to prevent being countered.

          I'd much rather watch Floyd fight. He uses head and foot movement along with the shoulder roll to avoid getting hit. His style is much more pleasing to the eye.

              Floyd. Andre is p2p, but he is not on Floyd's level.

                  Floyd has better boxing skills and is more entertaining to watch than Ward, who clinches and mauls too much.

                    I rather watch Floyd only because he's less boring. I'm just amazed how fighters who are in the hit business, want to be called great and demand so much money are so afraid of getting hit..even by guys who present no danger of beating them. A good defence only means that you should not be getting hit every time your opponent throws a punch. However, you should be prepared to take a good punch every so often, if only to get inside and finish a sub-standard foe or even as a means of strategy against better fighters. That's the only way you get to showcase you true mettle as a great champion and give the public a better and memorable fight for their money. That's what fans remember when boxers retire. That's why I have a hard time appreciating fighters like Bhop, SOG, PBF, RIGO..'cause they take no risks and they are contented to UD themselves in the record books and HOF...but one place they lose out is in the minds of true boxing fans.

                      I like watching both these fighters fight but to answer your thread Mayweather.
