    The guy was no push over and defeated everyman who was put in front of him.Had 21 title defenses and was a 2 weight ring champion.none of that was an easy task,so why does he get so little respect on here?

    Solid champion, accomplished fighter, tough tough competitor. His resume lacks great wins but he has some very good ones. I scored the Hopkins fight a draw but he deserves credit for it. He's not an ATG, so he rarely gets mentioned in the same league as other more popular and historically great fighters, unless it's a fanboy hyping him up.

    National rivalry. They can't live with his embarrassment of their idol Bernard Hopkins, and his humiliation of their god Roy Jones, Jr. And now they are claiming Ward would beat him, which is highly doubtful.
