Is Andre Ward an Entertaining Fighter?

[Canelo and GGG]

It's hard for me to enjoy fights where there isn't much output. I guess it depends on who's fighting but I like to see punches being thrown. Even missed punches makes in more interesting. I like action. Like Carmen Basilio said, he gave the fans action. That's important.

Whatever you like my friend,its like in other sports ,some fans enjoy some styles some not,For example i was watching wrestling some time ago,and some ppl liked atmosphere of WWE hype and ****,and some enjoyd more underground style with pure skill(i WWE champions sometimes are very bad wrestlers like John"Wood" Cena

I personaly like when they throw too

Oh yeah. I used to watch wrestling. I don't mind it being staged but it got so far away from actual wrestling into pure entertainment, if you can call it that. When I watch a wrestling match, I'd like to see some actual moves instead of high flying silly moves that would never work along with punches and stomps. Rasslin' is just cornball. It can be funny. Don't get me wrong, but I mean it's like watching a show or movie even. There has to be some plausibility of it's just farcical, for me that is.

Of course, I can always go back and watch old Lou Thesz matches. And even Adrian Street wasn't bad. He had some crazy moves that impressed me. But like you say, everyone likes different things.

not at all. I love inside fighting and Ward is the only great inside fighter today. I feel that his dullness is somewhat exaggerated, I'm not a "boxing purist" I can't watch Rigo or Lara, and I don't get why Ward gets compared to those guys. He may not be Erik Morales but he has good, fun fights like Kessler, Miranda, Dawson, Froch and of course Kovalev

Master tacticians entertain me just as much as heart and guts, but of course everyone have different tastes

Ah the difference for me is that it seems like Ward wrestles a lot and makes fights ugly on the inside and that can be effective but Duran knew how to manipulate distance and timing so well on the inside. He was a real master in there. To be that close to a guy, hitting him and he can't hit you cleanly is about as impressive as it gets to me. Armstrong was great too, but more of a windmill. Duran was the best on the inside ever IMO. But as you say, we all like different things.

That's cool, man. It's always good to broaden the horizons. This way all the pressure for our entertainment isn't on boxing.

Baseball can move very slow sometimes, but I do like a game now and then. Football can be a lot of fun as well. I don't follow either one. I can usually tell you who won the World Series and who won the Super bowl, but boxing is the only sport I follow. I guess I like it more because you have no one you can fall back on in a fight. It's do or die. Not that team sports aren't challenging obviously, but boxing is just more individual. I can tell you that both of them are bigger than boxing over here. At least, football is. My facebook has football all over it very weekend. Baseball sometimes. Boxing? Never.

[LoadedWraps]

For me, yes. Because I'm learning and studying technique. Most of his fights are not clinching and when he does clinch, he's working and battling.
My favorite guys to watch tape on are Calzaghe, Hearns, and Ward.

Well said.

Good stuff dude.

Guys I study are:

ODLH, Floyd, Maidana, Locche, Toney, Sweet Pea, Pryor, and Benton.
