I'm a big Ward fan and he deservingly should be anywhere in the top 3 spots he deserves to be #1 as Floyd or anyone does. Thing is tho 168 was pretty stacked I think it pailed in comparison to the 90's legendary 168lbers. He doesn't have much to prove at 168 maybe his best is yet to come at 175.
he has to clean out 168 & 175. he would then have to become linear undisputed cahmpion at crusier weight and then become hw champ. he has to do it undefeated since they dont fight like they use to in the old days. or he can become the greatest sm and lhw ever. defending his titles atleast 10x and then doing the same at lhw. then skip over cruier and win titles at hw all of them and defend them 10x. ill call him the greatest ever if he can do that or something like it. out boxing those fighters in the super 6 and fight weight drained chad want do it for me. im need more then that, im need that x5 at the very least.
Some people seriously overrate Ward, he's a good fighter, but he doesn't have a resume similar to Mayweather, Pacquiao all the other greats. He's nota great fighter yet. His career is far from finished, and I don't think he's unbeatable as some fans claim he is.
