    Yes the best Ward has not been seen I believe.. great test in Dawson at any weight... His style is still comming together..



    :deal


    Boxing Fans don't let the annoying things about a fighter creep into hate.. That happens when everytime you mention a fighter who does something that bothers you.. You somehow make it known everytime you mention that fighter in a post..

    Example.. I hate Carl Froches Arrogance.. He often boast about himself, over hype his own potential.. Makes excuses after his word has been proven wrong..

    Now I have respect for Froch.. He has proved it in the ring all but twice.. has is flaws but so does everyone else.. But i would be a hater if i mentioned all the stupid **** that bothers me about Carl Froch everytime I talk about him..

    Instead I like to talk about the good things about him unless the subject comes up about his flaws... :hey

    Close if you look at between 160 and 175 he does not match up at the top level but 168 is such a new division that he is up there with the best of the best. If he beats dawson and a few other big names he could easily be considered the best at that weight . . . but he has to fight the best:deal

    He's definately A+ as far as talent,imo only thing holding him back is the competition,Nobody has brought out the best of him yet, I don't think we have seen how good he really is yet

    A+ level - top elite level. In the debate for #2 pound for pound.

    Why in hell would he be A+? He thrives on being a dirty fighter. The Ward-Froch fight, was an ugly fight to see.You call that boxing, I call that outhustling.

    Compare him to Gamboa and he is nowehere as skilled as Gamboa.

    I love public polls. They let you know who the posters who are too biased to be taken seriously are if you haven't already noticed.

    Pretty Much.. Ward is A but not A+ yet.. more fight like the one he has up comming with Dawson will tell us if he is A+

    Ward is the king of the Super MD now. No doubt about it.

    Who is better skillwise and as a total package? Gamboa or Ward?

    If one is A then the other cannot be A as well.

    **** off, if you want to see two fighters just brawl with no skill watch ufc, if you want boxing Ward did it in Froch fight. There were headbuts against Kessler but fight against Froch was clean and Ward dominated!!!
