If Ward defeats Green is he top 15 pound for pound?

Yeah, definitely a top 15 P4P guy if he beats Green up good. I think his TALENT and SKILL are well inside the top 10 though.

 

wat

i would probably have him at 7 or 8

 

green is a good fighter, if ward beats him and looks good doing so then top 15 at the very least for me as well.i expect green to give ward some troubles, im not saying ward will lose but i do expect him to face some adversary in some point of the fight and maybe more then 1 time.thats how much respect i got for green i guess.

 

Top 3 if he does that. No worse than Top 5. The timing will coincide with Mayweather and Pacquiao likely retiring, so he could even be top in the sport by the time he accomplishes all of that.

 

I'd say top three doesn't look bad at all. I can't think of anyone in the sport (outside of Manny and Floyd) that would have accomplishments near that. It would be a major feat to do so though.

 

You two are right, now that I think about it by that time he would have to be in the top 5. But then again, I think Bute is the fighter Ward would have the most trouble with out there. I dunno if he could beat him.

 

who did kessler beat? yet he was still the #1 SMW in the world.

 

Don't underestimate Green. He is a good fighter to watch. Still Ward is too gifted for Green. I think Ward is even more technically skilled than Chad Dawson. Only Floyd is more technically sound than Ward. Ward will win by either UD or late TKO. He is the best super mw out there and my pick to win the whole tournament. I think nobody in the tournament is capable of beating Ward. The fighter that would give him the most trouble is Bute.

 

I think Bute can break ward down systematically and stop his legs by going to the body consistently. Bute is a puncher, but he's a smart one, and he can respond appropriately to Ward's dirty fighting.

 

who are the 15 you have ahead of him????

 

Ward is definitely top 15 P4P right now! Olympic gold medalist, undefeated, beat a prime champion badly...who would be higher than him besides the obvious 7-9 people?

 

A win over Green does little to help Ward in my mind. Green is nobody. If Ward can convincingly beat Dirrell, then he would take over as my #1 SMW and probably a top 10 ranking in my P4P. Heck, if Dirrell convincingly beats Ward, probably the same thing, seeing as how I thought Dirrell beat Froch more convincingly than Kessler.

As of right now, Ward is top 20 for me but not top 15. Just outside. A little short on resume still.
