    Was it his wins over froch and kessler? Shelby pudwill? Bika? Did you see something in those fights that made you think he is unstoppable?

    It just seems like you guys have a lot of faith in someone who hasn't been tested at all. I've seen one guy his size chin check him (darnell boone) and he almost got faceplant K.O'd, his head bounced off the canvas.

    Kessler, Froch, Dawson, Miranda and Bika are all top class opponents. Ward has dominated all of them except Bika which was a tough fight, but Ward clearly won.

    Ward has proven to be very good from the outside with an A+ defense, very educated jab and ring IQ that is only rivaled by Mayweather, Rigondeaux, Marquez and Hopkins. On top of his ability to outclass opponents form range, he's also shown one of the best abilities to fight in the pocket today. He may be a slickster, but also very strong and knows how to use his strength up close

    Dawson was half dead, weight drained and 1 punch K.O'd in his next fight. Miranda and bika are both C level fighters. The fact that ward struggled with bika ( a guy calzaghe easily smacked around, toyed and humiliated ) speaks volumes to me.

    He did dominate kessler and froch like I said, but that hardly makes him elite IMO. Kessler, another calzaghe left over. Froch a crude brawler.

    5 and b
    Ward basically cleaned out a talent rich division and kept his "0" intact. How can you say he's not elite is the question. Is he exciting? No. Is he elite? Absolutely. If he moves up to 175 and beats Stevenson, than he's moves up to number 2 P4P IMO. If you don't think Ward is elite, you're a ****ing moron.

    Cleaning out 168 doesn't mean much, bunch of calzaghe left overs and froch. Some little MW's like abraham that moved up.

    weak division

    No he doesn't, he keeps his guard high and rarely takes any chances. He never sits in the pocket.

    He probably has the speed to stun/hurt some of his previous opponents but he's scared shitless of getting countered. He takes NO CHANCES.

    Kessler twice? Unless I missed something, Ward only fought Kessler once.

    WTF? Are you punch drunk? 168 is arguably the deepest division in boxing, Genius...
