Nah, Spence Jr is probably the most skilled at 147 now But Thurman, Brook are big punchers They could easily catch Spence and give him a loss No one is going to be as dominant as Ward and Floyd again
when ward came back...he had only fought paul smith...and was still in the top 5(or just outside) of every major p4p list out there.....wards skills warrant that.....its not like ward just forgot how to box and was 38 when he came back....
he shouldn't be on any top 5 p4p list though. In terms of ability / potential then maybe but he's done nothing in the ring to be ranked highly since he beat froch around 5 years ago.
ring mag...espn...all recognize ward as a top 4 p4p fighter if hes done nothing to warrant this...what has ggg done to warrant his ranking besides feast on nobodies lets say for the last 5 years ward had been fighting gggs resume...or level of resume....you guys would be crying bloody murder....at least ward has done SOMETHING noteworthy in his career
:admin Seems every thread you post eventually becomes a hate tirade against GGG !!! Attempting to move Andre Ward up to a top P4P fighter is ridiculous given his lack of fighting over the past few years. atsch You can't be considered a top pay per view fighter when you don't FIGHT !!! Absolutely ridiculous !!!
its not a hate...this guy is telling me ward shouldnt be ranked on p4p lists because he hasnt done anything noteworthy in years...and i said theres another guy who is on the lists who has never done anything noteworthy....thats all if ward beats kovalev he will move to the top of every major p4p list...and vice versa....the winner of that fight will take the crown...i guarantee it it says "by the end of 2017"...i guess you missed that part though...dolt who said anything about "pay per view" you simpleton?
macklin was well ranked and should have been champ as he was blatantly robbed by sturm, murray was jobbed by martinez and were both demolished by GGG, lemieux was ibf champ too. GGG's resume could look alot better if he didn't get ducked by martinez / cotto/ canelo too. If ward doesn't beat kovelov he's done nothing to deserve being p4p, at present he's no1 at 172. Wards got the advantage of being the best USA fighter, if he was french for example i doubt he'd be anywhere near ring / Espn p4p lists based on his recent accomplishments.
If he beat Brook and the winner of Thurman-Porter he should be ranked pretty high. But that's a huge if especially for Brook who is damn good fighter himself. I just wanna see them fight each other they are all good fighters.
at present ward is ranked #4 p4p by both espn and ring mag....currently!!! LOl...the joke is on you...you are clueless i said "if ward beats kovalev hell be number 1"....what part of that didnt you understand.... ward doesnt have any usa advantage....hes highly regarded in the boxing community because of his skill level...just like ggg is....because ggg aint proven nothing so a guy got robbed by sturm(who is a joke) and an injured martinez? were supposed to be impressed? macklin? were supposed to be impressed? lol...were not geale=blown out by welterweight cotto stevens=best win is saul roman...beaten by jesse brinkley and marcos primera(both borderline club fighters...c level at best) willie monroe-last fight at doubletree inn canceled lemieux=won vacant belt ...lost to joachime alcine and rubio LOL
atsch Naw I caught your pound 4 pound tout !!! And I said Pay per View . So what class are you considering Ward to be in when you say he's a top 4 ??? Was he a top 4 @ 168 ? Or is Ward a top 4 @ 175 ???
go check the ring mag rating..and espn ratings.... he is CURRENTLY(that means right now) in the top 4 on both lists.....do u want me to spell it out for you?!?!(i might have to seeing as how you can barely comprehend anything im saying)
