    Reminds me a lot of mayweather at his best

    Better on the inside

    Scary on the inside, maybe the best ever. And on the outside he toys with world champions

    Makes really great fighters look amateur

    Problem is he's too good, so it looks like there's no one around to give him a test

    I don't care what anyone says, he's boring as ****. The only half decent fight he was in was when he fought Bika.

    ward beats a prime calzaghe but slappy would never have the balls to get into the ring with ward.

    look at froch, a warrior in the ring, and he even he doesn't want it with ward after the beating ward gave him.

    There's nothing that makes me go "wow" about Ward, but he's really good at hitting and not getting hit against qulity oppoents.

    Yes he can be rather tedious to watch but there is a huge amount of skill in what he does. His foot work is amazing he just slips inside with such ease his opponents can't do anything about it and once inside he is totally dominant, reminds me of the rough, tough BHop in his prime but with less power.

    His technique is superb and since the Kessler fight he has improved a lot, his balance and positioning is better and he is more focused. He has shown he can adapt and alter tactics mid fight and his left hook while lacking power is a very effective.

    Many will never appreciate his subtle skill and craft but you cannot knock it's effectiveness. People better get used to Ward as he will be a dominant champion for a long time to come.

    hasn't lost a fight since 1998 when he was 11 or 12 I think ended his amateur career in 2004 and turned pro still hasn't lost. He's faced all the best fighters in his weight class not only beat but dominated almost all of them. He's just a incredibly skilled well rounded fighter only thing he lacks is power. Hasn't lost for 15 years I doubt he will for another 10 or so unless he goes up to heavyweight.

    His short left hook on the inside is plenty 'wow' enough.
