Is ward being a little bit overrated in all of this?

[ross]

Ward is good at what he does but not interesting to watch. He mauls and does his work in spurts while trying to grab or hold.

I used to say it about Froch before hegot my resepect but he looked like all the things I used to moan about him. Loading up on wide slow shots, being left looking at thin air and thinking he can get away with the low left and high shoulder.

Im not sure it would have won him the fit but I think jad he just worked like Calzaghe then the fight would have been alot closer. Maybe he really believes his own talk about his power?

Had that been the Calzaghe that fought Kessler instead of Froch, Ward would not have been allowed to hold so easy. A few of Frochs jabs got smack right in Wards face so its not like hes unhitable either. Its such a shame this tournament wasnt around a few years ago while Calzaghe was active!

Yeah so we could see him didge some more prime fighters and hear his excuses as to why he can't participate. Maybe because he has a lucrative bout with Sven Ottke or something of the sort. God that guy was such a waste of fucking talent.

I agree with the rest of your post though

Hulk is spot on. Ward isn't over rated but I doubt he'll become a star..He executes perfectly but it isn't always pretty and casual fans won't appreciate the intelligent boxing tricks he throws in. Also not a K.O puncher. Floyd and Pacquiao are more exciting to the casual fan and hit harder. Shame really because Ward looks very hard to beat
