I'm just going to assume you haven't watched any BHop fights before he turned 40 in regards to that transitioning from offense to defense comment you said. And the reason I told you to go view what Ward/Hopkins do after landing a big shot is because they lead in afterward in a position(peep their feet) where if the opponent does try and give them a receipt they will eat a headbutt.
Ward has said he is the same cloth as Hopkins numerous times friend I'm sure any of the boxing thread regulars can cosign this, go look it up yourself nikka. Some of us actually watch boxing and don't get all of our info from google/youtube
Yet you still haven't given a direct answer to my question
the bolded is not technique its a tactic
Ward fights like Ward, I just said he's more similar to Floyd than Bhop
and I meant to say transition from defense to offense, ward and Floyd even look similar, especialy when ward distracts with the lead hand and shoots the straight to the body, it's damn near identical
once again ward named something specific he learned from Floyd, the younger fighters study him to emulate hi
all I'm saying this is just the beginning influences Floyd is going to leave on the game,
@ me participating in the derailing of this great thread. My bad 
am I watching the same damn fight over again? 
He would have been top 15 had he beat that Eurodemon.
