    He's good enough to clear out everyone at 175 and you could even possibly go as far as to say at Cruiser if he played it right with the amount of dross that is there he could clear out that division in the future as well.

    Then you live in fantasy land.

    ALL - every single - fight in the Supersix was won by the home town fighter...

    Home town advantage has a greater effect than in almost any other sport.

    He's already beaten Kessler and Froch, Bute right now is not relevant in terms of Andre Ward relevant, neither is Pascal

    Froch is the only one who warrants another shot IMHO, and listening to Froch he'd be happy to do that in Vegas, he will be shut out again guarantee'd

    Pavlik will be stopped, id be willing to bed a solid sum of money on that!

    Ward's legacy lies at 175 IMO, and he's already beaten the top guy at that weight class

    Right now Ward has virtually cleared out 168 and 175 by beating the top guys, its up to them to prove there worthy of fighting Ward, like Carl Froch has!

    That's a whole lot of crying for fights that most likely will never be made because of the business nature of boxing, especially since Ward is now with HBO.

    Pavlik is shot.

    Froch in Nottingham is quite interesting, especially since Froch is the clear #2 at SMW currently. He trashes all known & unknown SMWs except Ward at this time. Ward's stock would rise considerably - why not go to the UK, shut all the drunk hooligans up with another domination?! I bet ya he'd make the Ring mag cover for that. Again, only this time it won't be with a trophy he won by bringing two Euro belt holders to America.

    Ward could beat Kessler in Denmark easy and make a humongous paycheck out of it, as opposed to another no-show in Oakland. Business here dictates that the money is over there, and Ward would unfortunately make a lot less money rematching him in Vegas or LA. A full Parken stadium, with Ward having the upper hand in terms of revenue % = shitload of money he would never make in the US.

    Ward has nothing to do with Bute or Pascal, these guys will never generate enough interest since they both started to go downhill...

    Andre Ward will definitely be a solid hall of famer.

    However, to come anywhere near to being ATG, he's going to have to sacrifice his 'peak' weight and move DOWN to 160 or 164 catchweight to beat the middleweights like Martinez, GGG etc. and Canelo when he gets bigger in weight, Chavez Jr.

    His resume will then be stacked! Froch, Dawson, Kessler, Pavlik, Abraham, Green, Martinez, Golovkin, Canelo, Chavez Jr = ATG resume

    I'll be PISSED if he moves up to light heavyweight. Dawson II, Pascal, Cleverley, Cloud will not really do anything more for his resume.
    P.S A rematch with Froch please.

    Don't know why lots of people go on about a Froch rematch? Ward pretty much clowned him with one hand...

    Ward has already lost to Bika, that decision was a disgrace. ATG my ass, just a dirty fighter with no power and so boring. If this is ATG then boxing is history.

    Except Ward vs Froch was not in Wards hometown.

    But if you are going to use that flimsy reasoning then Froch vs Taylor was in Taylors "hometown" and Froch won that so you have rubbished your own argument straight away.

    Any American fighter fighting in USA is having the hometown advantage. Period.
