he's a black, american fighter. that's enough to set off 90% of the posters here. ward is top 5 ib 4 lb right now imo.
I for one HATE the shitty infighting he did against Kessler, Green, and Bika. What he did against Abraham was clean boxing. Nice to watch. Keep that up and Ill be a fan.
1. He calls himself the "Son of God." 2. Jab - hold. 3. Jab-jab - hold. 4. Jab-jab - headbutt - hold.
He's clearly very good, doesn't take enough risks to go for an exciting KO tho. He uses spoiling tactics when he doesn't need to. He's more talented than most of the people he's fought recently, but doesn't show it. If he would have left it all in the ring, he would have KO'ed Green and Bika for sure. He could do so much to be so exciting, but he's just... not.
Andre Ward is a class act all the way :good Haters pounce on his SOG nickname as an excuse to hate him for their own personal agenda. Most people with a brain know that "SOG" just means he's a Christian. He's an Olympic Gold Medalist and World Champion :yep A great role model and representative for the sport of boxing IMO :good
Boxing is a sport and just like any sport the whole purpose of televising it to the masses is to bring entertainment, and as an athlete if you can't bring that entertainment what good are you really?
Exactly. I mean, many of B-Hop's fights, even title defenses, were on ESPN. There's a reason for that.
