    was never that skillful, just fought people smaller than him and leaned on them until they got tired. Once he fought someone he couldnt do that too, he lost badly. wasnt to do with his age. And your question is a bit ****** aswell, cause obviously we could find domestic evel fighters who are boring but not that skillful, so dont get what your argument is really.

      Go watch Hopkins/Kovalev or Jones/Hopkins and come back and tell me Ward is more boring than that.

      As far as Algieri, it's easy to look entertaining against bums. See Broner/Allahkverdiev, Broner/Molina, Bradley/Vargas, Bradley/Chaves, Rios/Chaves, Hamed/Lawal...

      Only true of Grabomir after he changed trainers. Early Clinchko was a beast, and I admit this.

        yeah but the thing is wards never ever been exciting, these other guys have had the odd good fight. And wards just been doing it against bums for 5 years. Yeah hopkins might be more boring, is a very close one, but as i said hes not really an active fighter.

          Easily Wlad is the most boring fighter, and his "skills" are minor compared to Ward.
          Ward isn't a ****** rat trying to talk tough and carry on like a moron!
          He dresses plain talks quietly and is a cautious fighter.
          He hasn't lost since he was 12 years old and rarely looses a round.
          He acts like a man and shows respect for his opponents.
          He tried to take out Brand in the late mid rounds but it didn't happen, big deal!

          Nice young man, good skills and looks in very good condition,

          As we could see during the interviews with Koval their close to the same size
          and a puncher vs boxer is usually a good match.

            You think Wlad isn't skilled? You don't have to say anything else that's enough for everyone to know your level of knowledge.

              That's just off the top of my head mind you.
              Not one of these produced a more boring fight than Ward-Green. Not one. And Zab shouldn't be on the list.
              Ward vs. Green was probably the most boring fight in modern history. It had nothing to do with style. When you're that good ruining a fight is a choice. Hopkins is close but never had a **** show like Ward-Green.

                  no i dont think he has an amazing skillset. Every world level fighter has some sort of skills. When i think of great skillset, i think of floyd mayweather. I dont think of wladimir klitsckos jab jab grab combo. Thing with wlad is, he wsa very very lucky with the german refs, what he did to povetkin, and even haye at times, with his leaning wouldnt be accepted in other countries.

                    None of these fights are more boring than Ward-Green. Casual fans smdh.

                      considering the opponent he had in front last night, this fight imo was even worse than klitschko/povetkin, that one was pure liquid shit
