    Since "The Quitman" has retired, it seems like Andre Ward has picked up the torch and is running with it. The Grandmaster John Ruiz himself would NOT be disappointed if he were to watch the efficiency of Andre Ward's clinching. I could see the Master standing in front of his living room TV, clapping on Ward with praise.

    Kessler was the champion, yet Ward refused to fight him anywhere except his home town with his personal referee, judges, boxing commission and commentators to tell you is winning the fight. Ward used his head, elbows, held, but the last head butt came from across the ring, was intentional, but Ward's referee believes that intentional headbutts are legal as long as Ward is the one using his head. Ward should have been disqualified, but that is one reason that Ward's referee was there. Ward refused to fight anywhere except his home town...........Stevenson called Ward out and Ward almost fainted.........

    Are you even a real person or is this just a autobot? None of your responses ever make any sense to the thread.:blood

    Yeah I think Ward is the best in the sport at clinching, he even outshines Hopkins in the clinching department.

    Ward doesn't have the luxury of being able to take a shot like BHOP.

    Vladimir Klitschko is, by far, the best heavyweight in the world today!!!!!!! He is and has been beating up all the haters' heroes an it is making them extremely angry, they are going crazy! Vlad has had 65,000 at ringside...........when Vitali fought Arreola it was HBO's highest rated fight of that year...............

    SOB cheats, he will not fight anywhere except his home town.............

    Made perfect sense to me. Is English not your primary language?

    Grabimir does plenty of clinching. Don't criticize Ward for holding and give Wladimir a pass.

    Wlad's fight against Povetkin cemented his spot as p4p ATG GOAT clincher.

    Ruiz & Wlad 3.0 are experienced Volume Clinchers, Andre Ward is a counter Clincher.

    I forgot about Wladimir, oops. Yeah I'd rank Wlad ahead of Ward. So my list would be:

    1. W. Klitchsko
    2. A. Ward
    3. B. Hopkins

    Wlad 1.0 was the exciting fighter, who got KTFO sometimes but was very explosive

    Wlad 2.0 was Emanuel Steward effort to replicate Lennox Lewis

    Wlad 3.0 is the safest way to win, without Emanuel Steward (only this version evolved into a seasoned clincher)

    Grabimir Clinchko is #1 clincher. Ward is #3, just after BHop. Honorable mentions to Richard Abril.

    Ward hardly clinches, this is a failure of a thread by a trolling *****.
