You gotta take the entire scope of the records into account, doesn't matter if he beat Bika less impressively, he got the win and it's a one up on an already better record.
Your right when you say Wards resume isnt made up of Bika, which I agree it isnt, but how could The Ring have Ward at #2, then after beating Bika, a fighter Bute beat more impressively years ago, gets moved above. That dosent make sense
Without doubt they will be lining Ward up for premature greatness.atsch and the usual suspects will be there hanging off his nutsack up untill the inevitable point when he is exposed
Kessler Good win Miranda Green Bika isnt overall better than Andrade x2, who is a fighter that has done more than Green, Bika or Miranda Bika Berrio Brinkley Zuniga Joppy Miranda Mock Salem
He COULD be, not yet decided, but ratings are based on results, you obviously base them on hype and potential
Ward may be the next big thing, but look at the recent hype list K Pavlik J Taylor J Lacy A Dirrell P Williams A Tarver D Jacobs A Green C Dawson Dont be shocked if A Ward or T Cloud get added. The hype for 14 losses 2 draws G Johnson is unbelievable
Ward his a master fighter against the ropes. He'll press your body against the ropes with his lower body and work you upstairs than down in the body. He'll do this consistantly if you vere to the ropes for rest or defensive support. Ward is a very skilled master boxer who comes from the Black American fight game. This is not dirty. And if so it's legal Dirty Boxing. The stuff that Ken Nortons and Marvin Haglers are made of. Sometimes Ward ain't so exciting to watch but he's got mo skill than anybody in the division and what you call dirty makes him champ!!!!

at the time dawson was clearing out an old division had good wins over johnson,tarver and adamek based on wins noone could be ranked above him
I'd still take the Ring Magazine over any of the alphabet organisations any day.Everyone might not always agree with them but it still has infinitely more credibility than those crooks.
What was Bika ranked when he fought each guy? Might be the reason. But rankings are just soo subjective. Drive a crazy man nuts!
I certainly wont be suprised when and he will T.cloud is added to this list. And G.Johnson to be fair is nothing more than a durable gatekeepe r:deal I admit Ward could end up being the best SMW but i cant see him ever being the next big thing due to his revolting style:dead TBH im not convinced he beats Froch and how he compares to Bute is hard to gauge. Anyone saying saying Wards already there is jumping the gun, who the best SMW is remains to be seen IMO :hey
