    Just because they worked with him doesn't mean they did/do steroids. And when did I ever say Chambers seems wise? I said Andre seems wise because of an interview I saw from him. One fight and now Ward is a dirty fighter blah, blah, blah he beat Kessler's ass regardless. You clearly drink too much of this.

    When I was watching the Kessler fight, I was thinking that he looked a lot like Nard. He doesn't have the same power as Hopkins, but he's probably a little quicker and he's probably the most intelligent young fighter in the ring today.

    What do you mean by posturing?

    The way he carries himself/ the stance he assumes during fights allows him to demotivate his opposition/ to lower their morale. He doesn't do it by being macho either; he does it by being smart and ruthless - and this is all the more impressive.

    Hit the nail on the head. ward's style is a lot likea younger and speedier version of Bernard Hopkins and I've been saying this since the Kessler fight.

    I don't find that a good thing however.... Hopkins created his ass ugly style out of necessity because of his deteriorating athletic ability due to age. So it's kind of disheartening to see a young and talented guy like Ward resort to things such as only throwing one-punch-at-a-time, headbutts, hip bumps, and excessive clinching.
