I am glad to see that my views are fairly common on this issue. People don't like Ward mainly because he is dull and cheats, and secondarily because he is inactive and won't travel anywhere. It is very hard to enjoy his fights. Until threatened with disqualification he was going to do that hold and wrestle shit all night long. It's no wonder he couldn't fill a barn.

I also think he fights how he does because he knows he is very chinny. It's his shield, but sooner rather than later someones gonna rock him hard, and he will disqualify himself through it as you won't get a second punch on him.
