    Name one boxer that has nothing but A-levels consistently on their resume?

    None of them were. The Super 6 was supposed to accomplish that by having the best fight the best and see who came out on top. Ward did, followed by Froch. At the time, most of ESB were saying that none of them were the best. That Bute was.

    ward and dirrell were the least proven. you cannot say the others were unproven, they were all champs or ex champs.

    Yep. Kessler, AA, and Froch were as unproven as Ward, Dirrell and Green.
    The only real proven contestants in S6 were Taylor who had fought and beaten Hopkins and Pavlik, and as a contender who had fought everyone, Glen Johnson.

    The most proven boxer in Super 6 was former undisputed MW Champion, Jermain Taylor.

    Ward resume is very good, HOF worthy. It is not great only if you compare to past p4p players. Amongst active fighters, it is one of the best.

    Don't be mad because I said that Kessler was unproven. He was. Prior to facing Calazghe, Kessler has compiled a string of b-level wins in Denmark. He then met Calzaghe and loss. He then went back to Denmark, fought a few more nobodies before facing Ward in the S6 and losing again.

    He beat good enough boxers consistently in a dominant fashion and had an even fight with Andre Ward who I rate immensely. He at least is an ATG LHW on an H2H level, which has bigger implications for Andre Ward's career.

    Ward has a great resume, no doubt. He fails to inspire boxing fans with his unexciting fights and personality, but his achievements are great.

    How do i find out who was ranked between 11-15 on the P4P rankings?

    Carl Froch , Chad Dawson and Sergey Kovalev were top 10 P4P ranked fighters

    Quillin beat Rosado and a prime N'dam. He also had a close fight with a game and ready Andy Lee.

    Who exactly has Kessler beaten? You also forgot to mention that Murray actually beat sergio martinez but got robbed in argentina.

    Like i said before im not saying GGGs resume is better than Wards im just saying that they are on par at this moment in time. I also provided evidence on what both fighters needed to do to surpass the other. It doesnt matter though because at the end of the day both Ward and GGG are first ballot HOFers

    GGG has a resume thats barely better than Arthur Abhrams. Ward resume is rivalling Joe Calzaghe's .

    You're right about Ward being a first ballot hall of famer. Thats been achieved.

    Golovkin will go down like another DM and Zsolt erdei who had good accomplishments but never took the risks or accepted the challenges that great fighters do to earn their place in the ATG books.

    Okay right... So GGG never tried to make fights with Canelo, Lara, Ward, Froch, Chaves, Quillin, Lee, Ramierez, Cotto, Martinez, Mayweather, Andrade, Saunders, Eubank jr, Degale???? Thats 15 freaking names i mentioned there. What are these risks you are talking about, how can he take risks when no one wants to give him a shot? All of the above wanted no parts of him when he was on the rise.

    Its rediculous its got to the point where he makes himself look vunerable against welterweights so that these bigger guys can fight him. Wards lucky he had the super six so certain guys couldnt duck him. GGG didnt have that luxury
