    It is hard to tell but Ward did his best last night to join the list. I think he was hoping to top it.

    I wouldn't call what Ward was doing against Green holding. It was in fighting.

    Ruiz and Hopkins hold.

    Hatton and Ward, a couple of more fights for Ward like the one we saw in the Kessler, Miranda, and Green fights will make him at the top of the list.

    You whiny little bitches disgust me. "He's holding me!" shut the **** up and show me something. If a guy has the skills his opponant can't hold without paying the price. The funny thing is half the lot calling ward dirty are froch fans. I guess when the guy is wearing the union Jack he can rabbit punch and slam his opponant and not land any meaningful punches and that cool.
    Wipe your collective vagina you whiny ass Brits!

    I really wish they would treat intentional clinching like any other foul. I ruins fights and is illegal to begin with.

    Don't even put Hopkins on a list with bums like that, they're nowhere close to his level. Hopkins didn't beat you up with his head, he didn't hit and hold (much). The whole time Nard was on the inside he was doing little artistic and interesting things to hurt guys. Every second.

    Ever seen a Ruiz fight in his "prime?" He makes the rest on the list look like they're boxing.

    Nobody violated the rules against excessive holding like Ruiz. His entire misbegotten career is based on it.

    From the Green fight Ward has no place on this list. He WAS NOT holding most of the fight, he was just on the inside. Ward actually held very little last night and both men had at least one arm free for the clear majority of the match. Ward smothered Green, but he used his fists instead of his arms to control Green.
