    Ward doesn't do it for me - but the worst thing about him is how ridiculously overrated he is.

    True, there are quite a lot of boxers who should aspire to be like Ward.

    That goes for more then Floyd. But if Floyd did that, he wouldn't have half the fans he has. They LOVE that fake "G" act of his.

    He seems like a nice enough character and he is very talented but yes also boring

    I don't enjoy watching his style, but good on him for winning.. I guess.

    I have no complaints on Ward.

    If boring was truly a problem, then boxers like Wladimir Klitschko and Bernard Hopkins might have less fans.

    In time, Ward will get more respect,
    unless something weird happens (such as an underdog beating him, so many upsets lately).

    I guess I don't see the problem with his "style", he beats the **** out of people, he beat the hell out of Kesslar, he beat the hell out of AA, he completely ****ed Allan Green. What the **** does Froch do that's so much more exciting? I like Froch as well, but seriously what's so exciting about his fighting style?

    Froch doesn't tie his opponent up after landing one punch, rinse, cycle and repeat for the entire fight.

    I don't like him because he uses his head a lot wont be at all surprised if he headbutts froch and causes a nasty cut like he did to kessler.

    Excellent!!! True DAT...:good
    He's a winner who doesn't run. Never backs down from a fight. Gets his point across without allowing you to have a real say in the argument. :bbb

    He's very skilled, has an extremely bright future in the sport, seems to be cut from the same cloth as Hopkins and Mayweather (in terms of smartness and competitiveness), and he's a classy, well-spoken, likeable guy outside of the ring.

    He's good in my book.
