    Think about his opponents: Miranda, Kessler, Froch, Green, Abraham, Rodriguez and Dawson. All of them are similar in that they are slow, fight tall, have no head movement and punch in straight lines. This is the style that Ward beats most easily.

    When the Super Six organizers wanted Ward to fight Andre Dirrell, a fast slick defensive boxer, Ward managed to con everyone (including Dirrell, by telling him the fight was risky to both of them) and the fight fell through.

    Then when the entire boxing world was clamoring for a unification between the two undefeated SMW champions Lucian Bute and Andre Ward, guess what happened? Ward ducked Bute, because Bute is fast, can bend his waist and has too much head movement.

    Ward says he's the new P4P n.1, but at least Floyd fought different styles.Ward is a con artist.

    You can add Golovkin and Kovalev to that list.

    Agreed: it's obvious that the only reason Ward wants to fight Golovkin and Kovalev is that they're both slow.

    Ward should be calling out DeGale, but he'll never do that because DeGale doesn't have his feet in cement like all of Ward's opponents so far.:deal
