I'm saying this right now: Andre Ward is the 3rd best fighter in the world.

    What the **** has he done to deserve the 3rd place ? :patsch He's a very good boxer and he has a great chance to win the tournament, but until the end, he doesn't deserve a high ranking like this. I wonder even if Kessler was in the p4p top ten rankings before the Ward fight ? :huh

    I agree with you. Ward has shown us he can fight many different ways. He can use the ring and box, he can come forward, aand he's a great inside fighter.

    Who knows. Wlad & Donaire are challengers to that spot IMO, in terms of ability.

    I'm really surprised that some people mentioned Wlad as a top 3 P4P fighter. I'm talking about "skill" and not having huge physical advantages over your opponent like Wlad has. I mean if Povetkin or Chambers were the same size as Wlad, i would pick them to beat him.

    I love Bradley and i think he's cut from the same cloth as Ward in that both have the heart of a warrior and a great work ethic but he has two big question marks: His lack of pop and questionable chin. Now i think he's still the best 140 fighter out there but i think at some point, when he faces another truly elite P4P fighter, that might cost him.

    Well, Ward just passed a tough out last night. He showed a ton of heart and kept pushing in a tough, rugged fight. He showed that his inside game is about as good as anyone's and his overall game is about as good as anyone's.

    We all know he's going to completely outclass AA. I think by then, he should break the top 10 P4P list. And after he beats Froch in the finals, he will be a top 5 P4P. And when Mayweather and Pacman retires, he'll be in the top 1-3. It's already happening.

    If Abraham doesn't knock this fraud out, the Cobra does.

    Froch is P4P top 10 and THE MAN at 168.

    Ward is a hometown billy goat.

    They have nothing to do with Ward. Dawson is still a great fighter but he lacks the mental make up. For some reason, he doesn't have that killer instinct. And that cost him against Pascal. And everyone knew that PW was a flawed fighter and had huge height/reach advantages over his opponents.

    He is not.

    As soon as he is not allowed to hold 70% of every round and doesn't have a ref and judge in his pocket he is losing.

    Great fighters don't Hold and Hug their way to victory.

    Feel free to name a great fighter that used or uses these tactics and don't bring up hopkins as his holding isn't anywhere near to that of ward.

    Ward literally spends 2 minutes of every round spoiling by hugging.
