Is there a more boring fighter in the sport than andre ward?

[ИATAS]

It's boring when he's fighting guys like Brand because you know the outcome going in - easy uneventful UD. It's like the same way Mayweather was boring when he fought guys like baldomir and you knew exactly what was going to happen.

But, you get him in the ring with guys who you think are going to be a challenge, Chad Dawson and the upcoming Kovalev fight, it's exciting, it's exciting because he's going to be tested and we don't know how it's going to play out. In these types of fights, his skills can be much more appreciated whereas it's hard to appreciate how good he is fighting overmatched no-hopers like Brand.

He switched to southpaw for a good amount of the fight and landed maybe the best shot with his 'weak' hand! GTFO!

Switched cause he has no right hand.

Ward/Green is only boring to you because you want to see a guy go for a knockout. That's my point - who cares? A win is a win and stylistically, Ward is nowhere near as boring as Bernard Hopkins, I'm sorry. And I'm not a Ward fan - I don't consider him top P4P anything compared to Floyd, but I acknowledge his ring generalship which does stand out. He controls pace in every fight he's been in besides Darnell Boone.

No, it's not just boring to me. It's boring to everyone. Go ahead and watch it for the first time. It's obvious you haven't seen it. The only difference between Hopkins and Ward is Ward decides to fight slightly more often while ruining a fight.

I didn't watch the fight but seeing UD 12 was a joke. I genuinely felt Ward would get a stoppage, imagine GGG or Kovalev fighting someone of Brand's quality, they would have bombed him outta there.

Remember this is a 39 year old, who is a career super middleweight and was pretty much retired for 8 months. A journeyman...wow this was worse than watching Ward v Smith.

I love it when people try to rewrite history

Whilst I am not saying that this fight was some stellar victory for Ward, it is still a fact that Brand's last fight was at light heavy and his victory over Medzhid Bektemirov was regarded as a very good one for him

Furthermore, he wasnt retired - he just hadnt fought for eight months. Big ****ing deal!

That sequence right there was all Postol.

Postol was frustrated that Crawford kept moving. So...Crawford stopped and said "let's go then". Postol did nothing.

Crawford pulled the man's punk card, period. Don't blame Crawford for that.

You people blame everyone but your heroes. You also blamed cab driver Agbeko when Rigo stunk up the place and made the audience exit the doors. It's a fight between two fighters. If your opponent is not throwing anything, you should, especially when you refuse to fight unless it's PPV.

Agbeko is a cab driver. Dude, shut up. Find a new sport.

Im struggling to think of one... discuss...

'boring" has been sounding more like " why hasnt this guy lost yet" more....


sure he doesnt get knockouts, no one has a 100 % ko ratio especially at the top level....maybe you find him boring because he outright beats his opponents and it doesnt take some monumental struggle for him to win....if


They said Mayweather was boring...He wasnt imo...it takes two to tango and if what you are doing in the ring is working, why stop? oh yea because casual fans want blood and guts....thats unrealistic, these dudes arent robots.

Pernell whitaker was boring too....more like hard to beat and dominant

Roy was labeled boring and fought mis-mandatories.....he was dominant, not boring.

sounds like you are just reaching for something to criticize, considering Ward CLEARLY beats all of his opponents

roy jones wasnt boring, mayweather wasnt boring, ward is 100 percent boring

Fighters like Ward are only boring to casuals that can't appreciate the skills they are witnessing. GTFO casual.

and the same can be said about exciting fighters who come foward.

to the "hardcore fanboys" these guys have no skills, face first brawler.

[SergioMartinez]

Wlad is the only fighter that I can think of more boring.
Ward is coming in 2nd.
