    False... Check the archives buddy.
    I picked Ward to win the Super Six.
    (Granted I also picked Abraham...)

    like this for example

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-04I1Wmbpwo#t=4m22s

    puts his forearms/hands into their face to impair his victim's vision not allowing them to see where the next blow will land. did the same thing on Mosley. It can be outright scary for clearly inferior infighters to be blinded.

    Toney was way better then Ward and plus he had power.

    Right now I would say the best inside game goes to PBF, then Ward followed by Bhop. The body shots PBF throws on the inside are just crazy effective. Bhop is so cagey even though he is well past his prime. Someone said that Ward reminded them of Bhop but I think his fight against Froch was floyd-like. I find floyd a more fluid fighter than Bhop who has to make it ugly. PBF's boxing is almost poetic, he can be graceful in the ring . . . that's what I saw in the ring against Froch, it was a thing of beauty.

    Ward could become one of those throwback fighters like Toney, Bhop and PBF . . . they are a very rare bread:deal

    Bhop, FLoyd and Ward are all slick but Bhop style is ugly . . . thats only because he is more cagey now because he has slowed a half a step. Floyd and Ward style is much smoother and I would say poetic rather than pretty. you do not have to slick and smooth, you can slick and cagey, slick and . . .

    ? Bowe murdered Holy on the inside.

    Evander was very good on the inside but not one of the greatest.

    Chavez, Duran, Armstrong, Toney etc were all superior infighters

    There is a British HW called Tom Dallas who is an absolute genius on the inside. Golden Boy tried to sign him up but he refused.
