you are right. Wlad was a Champ before Ward turned pro. Wlad can ko top guys with one punch, Ward can not.:hi:
i would just like to say Thank you. i thought everyone had lost their marbles for a minute there. Ward is a crime against boxing. in the street, it's fine. but in boxing, the man has very little skill at the end of the day. his tactics are what win him fights. remove the constant cheating, he'd have to fight on a level playing field where his success wouldn't be as high as it is. why would a fighter who is supposedly "skilled" have to cheat each and every time he's in the ring? answer: because he has very little skill to speak of. every fighter in or around Ward's weight need to refuse to fight him because of how he goes about his work. if you come to fight clean, you'll not be prepared for the **** that Ward brings. you will lose. Ward has spent years perfecting his tactics, so he knows how to cheat inside and out. it's alien to real pro fighters who fight within the rules. and the refs that look after Ward aren't going to help those getting cheated in any way. the set up is on lock down.
Yes he's very, very boring. One of the best in the world but I don't think I've enjoyed a single fight of his and I can't be that fussy because I like(d) watching Mayweather and Winky Wright's fights and even some of Bernard Hopkins'.
the guy threw with bad intentions he walked his man down what can you say? the guy faces top level opponets when they went through the list of guys he has beaten it's a whose who of who! a total murders row when you fight that level it's hard to ko the guys he's been sucessful at using his skills to dismantle and beat his opponets he reminds me alot of michael nunn with how comfortable he is in there
Yeah...I also that that was a ridiculous post. I once said this, I do not recall where or even is I heard somewhere before. So maybe this is an original quote. But I once said this to a FAKE-AZZ BOXING FAN who said some really similar to what this poster above said about how he'd rather watch brawlers then fighter with elite-lever skill... This content is protected They'd rather watch fist and blood flying from two C-level brawlers than seeing the Sweet Science of two elite-level skillful technical boxers. It's the main reason why Boxing website forums have been complete ruined over the past 5 years or so.
Gotta love how some people have it all figured out. They not only know what THEY know, they know what YOU know and BETTER than you know yourself, even though you have never met. I think your missing the point, DUMB-AZZ. Ward is a boring fighter. He does the punch and clinch, rinse and repeat, all night long. And this is not just a Rodriguez, styles make fights, issue. He does it in all of his fights, to a greater or lesser degree. This isn't about wanting to see blood and guts. It is about a willingness to engage with your opponent. No, that doesn't mean you have to get hit a lot but it does mean you are confident enough to get into honest exchanges knowing you have the confidence to hit and not get hit, the way Roy Jones used to do. At his peak, no one could touch him and if guys tried to rough him up he took them out. He was that good. Ward isn't close to a fighter like Jones. Jones would have KO'd Ward. And, by the way, DUMB-AZZ, that is not an original quote. It is said all the time by guys who have done any boxing. Original quote, yeah, right.
And when these toe to toe brawlers they love get beat by skilled boxers they get mad and take to the forums to troll.
