    Yes I find his hit, hold, hold, hit, hold, hold, head tactics boring. However I still watch his fights... (Waiting for someone to KTFO him)

    ward style is more for the purest at heart. he's not boring for me but remember i liked most of bhops fights and few other guys considered boring. i can see why some people dont like his style compared to other fighters like bam bam baby !

    Anyone who says yes doesn't respect top level boxing excellence and gets bored when a technical boxing chess match is on display.

    Not at all.

    I am being serious when I say hes one of my favorite fighters to watch. I think the way he operates in the ring, adapts to various opponents and chooses the best style for them is a thing of beauty. I think he has one of the highest IQ's in the sport and I love seeing it on display.

    Just imo, id understand somewhat those who arent into his way of fighting.

    he is interesting to watch his boxing IQ at work from a boxing fan perspective but i can def see why people say he will never become a big draw and its true

    If you've boxed before, its quite exciting, its like he's doing some **** in there that is physically impossible.

    Sort of yes only because his inside game is so good and it represents a big chunk of time in most of his fights.

    If he ever meets a guy that seriously stops him from establishing any inside game, then he'd have the rely even more on his speed, athleticism and skills, therefore the fight would look better to the eyes...
