So far he has beaten the top dog at 168 and nothing else. I guess it remains to be seen wheter he can take his show on the road and beat top guys. I like his dedication though.
yes he is he has modified his style and is not as entertaining as he was when he was on the rise, but he is a solid effective fighter, v a variety of styles. i think bute would beat him and bute is the best at 168 with ward second and froch third with ward beating froch. it is all subjective until they actually fight , but ward has proven so far he is the real deal. .
Before the Super 6 began, I said Ward would go his entire career undefeated. But he needs to start fighting on neutral territory to really get respect.
very few figths take place on neutral territory its either in your backyard or you fight in your opponents backyard. froch v abraham was very rare. used to happen a generation ago all the time , now tv has dictated venues .
Unfortunately true. As for Ward, I think he is the real deal..... I don't know how far he will go, I think his lack of power will eventually catch up to him.
im not convinced on ward. he isn't really adding new tools to his box, he is fighting the same style every fight. honestly right now, i wouldn't favour him vs dirrell or froch. would be intersting to see him take on kessler in denmark and see if he schools him again.
