He seemed to get compared to him right at the beginning of his career but not really after that.

Great talent but could have been so much more unfortunately

Ward ended up more like Hopkins that Roy in terms of style.

All the better for him. Fighting like RJJ is not something that is easy to do and have success with, it's more of a gamble. B-Hop's style isn't fun to watch unless you appreciate the attention to detail, patience, and caginess he utilized.

Man this fight better happen it is one of those fights were best fight one another near there peak which is not what happens at all anymore. People i think i really underestimating how well Kovalev can box that jab was destroying hop say what you want but Hopkins and Pascal were top guys and they got crushed by that guy pretty hard. Ward style is a lot like Hops but he is younger i think Kovalev Jab will be a problem he is very precise when hunting down his opponents great banger who can box and has very heavy hands.
