I have seen ward's last 2 fights. Watched them several times.
Granted i did not see the whole kesslar fight, but except for that, i think ward is not as bad as certain people say he is.

To me it seems like jealousy or just plain hating. Picking what ever small reason to dislike the guy. Well thats all well and good but if it sounds like exagerating, i will point that out.

Btw, would anyone have ever called john ruiz a cheater because of too much holding?

No.

And wlad klitschko had a few fights with a lot of holding too. No one would dare call him a cheater.
