    A very talented fighter with good skills but his lack of power is really shocking and is one of the things that is a big minus

    How can you blame people for not enjoying watching his fights his punches look like pitty pat shots lol its really bad he has very good speed though

    ward don't need no ref to stop his fights for him and hand him multiple unearned wins like some SMWs we know.

    wards ref certainly doesn't completely ignore punches ward lands on him by accident. Although to be fair that's largely because ward s punches are accurate and don't spill onto the ref like another SMW we could mention.

    He is basically mismanaged by abysmal promoters. He's wasting his prime years talking about GGG and Kovalev, while fighting non-ranked contenders.

    His power is decent, consider his competition: Froch, Kessler, Abraham, Rodriguez, Bika.....These guys aren't getting stopped by anyone, other than Abraham due to the eye and Rodriguez getting clipped by a legit gunslinger in Thomas Williams.

    Everyone else that isn't that level, Ward's been pretty much stopping.

    His power is decent, the opponent has to respect it. He just isn't the kind of fighter to go out there looking for the KO.

    he doesn't look for knockouts. just outpointing the opponent. he's a defensive fighter

    but i think he has decent power. he did knockdown his first opponent at 175... op do some research?
