Is Andre Ward the new level of boxing, like Usain bolt is in running?

    Is this guy just so much more talented than anyone there has been?

    I have never seen him lose a round, not even a 60 second period of a fight.

    His masterclass vs Allen green was so dominant

    He destroyed prime froch and took his soul

    Dawson, who was slick, and black. Got outboxed badly in a way black slicksters never do.

    Sullivan barerra was one of those "super skilled cubans" and he got taken apart so bad.

    Brutal punchers get shut down an bullied. Slicksters take schoolings

    Have we ever seen such dominance?

    He's super effective. Shame effective doesn't ignite the fires within. Its a boring aesthetic unfortunately. I like to see a fight not a sport. If that makes sense

    I think he's a massively overrated boring fighter, he's going to sleep against Kovalev if he doesn't cheat his way through the fight.

    Biggest difference is Bolt is likable. He thanks god for his abilities he doesnt claim to be his son. Ward is as good a Boxer as you can find in the sport but he is also a massive douche

    2012 is a long time ago in sports - since then not a lot to excite the sport fan.

    Let him beat Krusher, then let's talk about his greatness, shall we?

    Would rather watch Bolt run for under 10 seconds than suffer watching Ward fight for 12 Rounds' ...He is hardly entertainment Value.!!!!

    I do you guys reckon he would have faired against Calzaghe? I reckon a prime Joe would have beat him on points quite easily.

    No doubt Super Joe would have beat him and overwhelmed him. It would have been competitive but Joe wins 116-112

    Joe had the style to beat Ward, lateral movement moving in out of range and unleashing his quick hands.

    Wards skills are elite but he's not the GOAT Inwould lean 60/40 in Joes favour in that fight, only Joe and Jones beat Ward at SMW Nunn Benn and Eubank have an outside shot
