Andre Ward is the best fighter over 160 easily

[HEND]

your an idiot

He is right... Wladimir is a very skilled fighter but far from Ward's versatility.

[KingTito]

I agree. I mean, you can argue he's the best fighter in the whole sport.

your an idiot

for starters, it sounds awfully silly to call somebody an idiot when you can't spell "you're" in your native language.


next, to compare their skill levels is absolutely valid. wladimir is a very limited fighter. he's got power, and a great jab. he knows how to fight tall. that is a skill.

however when an opponent gets inside [and they are getting inside now that he's slowing down,] he holds and waits for a ref to break them up. that's much less skilled than what ward does, which is work on the inside.

Ok, grammar ****, now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's get to the boxing.

You're saying all Wlad has is a good jab and some power when all Ward has his a one two combination and a head butt.

Keep ducking the Krusher, I mean look at this, his own promoter is showing that he is not a SMW anymore,



ward said anyone from 168-175 3 years ago, then when kova called him out he backed out like a biitch. also keep in mind ward fought at 178 in Olympics.AND comes in 190 at fight night in the Pros.

Its the 15th paragraph, ward said anyone from 168-175

Here are three occasions where Kovalev/team called ward out,

wladimir is a very one dimensional fighter. he always has been. he does one thing, and he does it very well. he keeps guys on the end of a jab, where he's one of the most effective fighters in boxing, or he holds until the ref breaks them apart.

ward's head hasn't been an issue in a long, long time. that's something biased people bring up to distract from the boxing. it's usually ward / kessler fans, who are embarrassed about what a top american boxer can make you look like.

Andre Ward fights equally effectively inside and outside. he has an excellent jab that he mixes up to the head and body. He has straights, hooks, uppercuts. He has excellent timing. He's an excellent counter puncher. He can chase play both the defensive and aggressive role effectively. He has beaten much better fighters than Wlad, and not needed to clinch them 200 times. He has defense that consists of more than leaning away or clinching.

Wlad cannot fight inside, is scared to death of doing so to the point he cheats to avoid it, His only effective punches are his jab, straight right, and left hook, and he has problems letting the left hook go. He cannot pressure effectively. He does not move his head, he relies on his height and clinching for defense.

Ward is as well-rounded a fighter as exists currently in boxing. Wlad is an effective outside fighter, but looks very vulnerable against anyone who can take the fight inside or make him chase.

[lefthook2daliva]

He might be the best fighter in the sport, period. Mayweather's not what he used to be.

Sign me up.

But Andre needs to get busy proving that very thing.

He's had his tune up. I want to see him fight somebody dangerous now.

And whoop their @ss!

War SOG!
