    Andre Ward is a greater Super Middleweight. But in terms of all around greatness, its pretty close to me. I got Ward as of now but by the time Canelo is done with his career it coud sway to Canelo.

    Both their best wins are fraudulent and are only wins due to corruption rearing it's ugly head again. But the answer is clearly Clenelo

    People say Clenelo struggled against slickness and feasted on ''Euros'' but ever so strangely Dre is one of those fighters who gets a free pass for never facing slickness and feasting exclusively on a diet of ''Euro'' soup. With the exception of Chad Dawson's corpse that is.

    Clenelo fought Floyd, Lara, Trout, BJS 2.0 and Plant. Pastor Dmitry is Eurasian slick too.

    Also, PEDs aside, Clenelo is a clean fighter who doesn't have to octopus grab incessantly, lead with his head all night and billy goat butt, go flying elbow and plum sack crazy, duck below waist level etc. to win fights like Dre did and I strongly suspect Dre was juicy too.

    Dre is extremely jealous of Clenelo and is always itching to take snide shots at him, whereas, conversely, Clenelo rarely ever mentions his name, let alone takes shots at him.

    Is it the weight classes thing or the amount of big names?

    Ahh Serge, you've done it again. I couldn't have said it better myself. Sir Grabalot Ward sucks ass and even a Canelo on a mexican beef free diet is clearly a truer fighter. Ward is and always has been a total fraud.

    If headbutting and corrupt refs are figured into the equation than there is no contest and we all know who that is .

    Guys it's clearly Canelo and I'm not exactly a fan of the ginger biscuit.

    Ward retired too early when they were monsters in his division. If Ward had beaten Bute when he was supposed to, Kovalev without controversy and either Bivol or Beterbiev he would of cemented himself as the best fighter of his generation.

    Both have questionable ethics.

    F them both.

    I think that Ward is mentioning Canelo as a payday. Canelo is not stupid enough to take him up on it.
