    Most technical boxers usually don't end up in FOTY fights, that's usually reserved for brawlers.

      Ward has pillow fists

      So no, he's not gonna be in a FOTY. That would be bad strategy on his part. He has good boxing skills, good "spoiling" skills, but ZERO power. Why would he ever want to go toe to toe with anyone.

      I dont fault Ward for the lack of good action in his fights. I understand its one of the reasons hes not popular. His fights arent fun.

      But I respect his ability (even tho I thought Kova won). He's a top 5 p4p boxer.

        Bat, don't let these ******s pollute your mind.

        No he hasn't been but that's because he usually wins clearly over his comp.

        Its like giving uconn's women's hoops team grief for beating all their opponents by 10 plus pts.

          i heard a lot of intelligent boxing people giving a sound evaluation of how "good" the kovalev fight was. the two best fighters of the same size fought in or around their primes. there were swings in momentum, a knockdown, controversial, razor thin scoring. the building was insane. i was there.

          i have no issues with somebody calling it one of the best fights of the year in that regard. ward's fought the [other] best fighter in his division several times. froch and kessler weren't good enough to make a fight of it. not worth complaining about it and acting like that is ward's fault. they didn't have boxing skills, punching power, or a jab like kovalev's, and never got going.


          think of floyd's best fight as a WW, maidana 1. why was that such an amazing fight? because floyd was such a great boxer, or because maidana knew how to manipulate space and make him uncomfortable and force him to fight?

                  Correct answer.

                    come on man the fight ******. Its only boxing hipsters trying to make out the fight was good. There was barely a solid shot landed in the last half of the fight and a lot of the rounds just blended into each other. The atmosphere sounded dead on TV, was no action to get people out of there seats for most of it/ Degale v jack the other week was what i call a top fight. 10x more entertainig than ward kovalev
