I liked Ward-Froch, Ward-Kessler, Froch-Johnson, and Johnson-Green.

Froch-Abraham was not bad either, though also not competitive at all. It was about the cleanest Froch has looked though -- an easier feat when your opponent's "style" is to fight like a zombie, granted.
worst fight of the whole tournament i want what your smoking
if you like sloppy brawls, i get it. i like technically sound boxing. there was none of that in that fight. neither guy looked "elite" -- i don't think you can seriously argue otherwise.

i understand that lots of people find the Chad Dawsons and Floyd Mayweathers of the world boring, but Froch-Ward was too much in the other direction. It looked like they grabbed two random dudes off the street and put them in a ring. it was embarrassing to watch.

Ward was the best fighter in the competition mate, the best man won dont worry

yes he is good technically, uses the head a little too much but seems to do it very well and as if its almost within the rules

he just isnt in exciting fights, against green, abraham and kessler were just dull fights, especially green and abraham, as he just seemed to be happy winning it ugly

the best fight he was in was against froch and he seemed to really want to knock him out, but he doesnt have that sort of punching power which makes his fights even less appealing

and i honestly think one day he will come unstuck late on, he doesnt seem to have the natural fitness that some of the other top guys have, he struggled late against Bika, went off the boil against abraham and lost the last couple against froch
