    I'd add him to my ATG list, 75-100 range. That would increase his resume to one great win (Ward), one solid win (Kessler) and a decent win (Hopkins).

    It will never happen, though. Unless Joe is broke and Ward fights with one hand tied behind his back.

    Umm no ....

    I gave Joe C. big respect after he beat Kessler (the Lacy fight was his breakthrough though) who I thought was going to give Jow his first "L"

    However, Andre Ward talent level is legues above Joe's ... dont get it twisted.

    Number 1, ever. Undisputed.

    Sugar Ray Robinson sure as hell couldn't do that, nor could Calzaghe for that matter.

    Name 25 fighters who have done something like come back and beat P4P number 2 Andre Ward after 4 years out in their 40s (having been undeated an the man at a weight for 10 years).

    Nobody ever has done that, it is impossible to do, no fighter in history could do this.

    It is a silly thread, it would amount to beating the GOAT easily, but silly as impossible.



    It sure beats anything Willie Pep could ever do.

    Andre Ward > Willie Pep P4P also.

    It would be one of the greatest wins the sport has seen for a while.

    Wards style reminds me of Bernards and Joe's style is Bernards kryptonite.I don't know about now but hey,anything is possible.

    Calz would've beat ward in his prime. Ward hasn't fought anyone w/
    Calz speed or infighting ability, which are ward's only assets IMO. Ward
    also showed suspect stamina in the Froch fight which is where Calz
    would take the fight away from andre. The scores would be even going
    into the championship rounds which joe would sweep for victory.

    Joe would have a 30% chance of winning fight as he stands now after a 8-10 week camp.. Prime Joe wins a comfy UD

    It would improve my opinion of him, but I still wouldn't rate him with prime RJJ, BH, or JT. Period.

    I would be very impresed. I'd rank him solidly as the 3rd best at 168. After Jones and Toney.

    Surely you are joking.. 3rd? Hes already considered top 3 easily. This win takes him to numero uno

    Muhammad Ali didn't even have that many "decent" wins by your standard.
