    What would you have your fighter do? More specifically, what can his next opponent (Froch?) do?

    His next opponent is Taylor who I believe will have to wear a helmet. That way when Ward comes in with his head butts Taylor can dip his head and Ward will knock himself out.

    Circle left, and throw a left hook more often. More lateral movement.

    Based on the Kessler fight, Andre Ward leaned over to his right, so Kessler couldnt throw an affective Jab.
    Also Kessler kept going forward and Ward ended up clinching, so if u circle him it would be harder for Ward to clinch.

    Also Ward has a habit of lunging forward, which lead to head butts, so if u stick to lateral movement, u can catch him with a hook more easily.

    But its easier said than done, out of the boxers in the super 6, i think Taylor can pull it off, or Dirrell,
    AA has a good left hook/uppercutish punch and can catch Ward. Kessler was way too 1 dimensional, and Froch being too slow and flat footed, but he shud use his physical strength to disturb Ward

    Lateral movement, concussive power and a swarming style.

    Froch is not his next opponent.

    Froch has already been outboxed by a prospect in his last fight though. :yep

    first of all watch out for the head buts, then the elbows. if you avoid those then you will be fine

    the fact ward landed 6 headbuts and 4 elbows against kesller pretty much says it all

    As long as he fights a European fighter not in the usa(cause ward will use headbutts) then he will always get beat.:good

    i quite fancy taylor to beat him actually, in and out jabs with some power hooks...this assumes taylor fights similar to how he did vs froch but with a little more outside game...this also assumes taylor is not totally ****ed now

    I think he would be extremely difficult to beat. He seems to change every fight. I thought he would fight Kessler the same way he battled Miranda. But he didn't - and just appeared to be a completely different man.

    fight fire with fire, he headbutts, you headbutt. He keep coming in low with the head like that, strategically get you elbow inbetween and "oops", he has a nice gash. It might make him think twice, even if you loose a point. I favor, Froch's style the most against him as Froch wouldn't think twice about doing it.
