    Last three fights where
    Sakio Bika, Allan Green, Mikkel Kessler
    Next up Author Abraham.(which he will most likely serve him a beatdown)
    At what point do we start to give him his props as pfp one of the best. Looks to me like he fought as good opponents as Marvilla.

    Well, Abraham's stock has dropped so much due to losing to the last two straight top names he fought. Bika... is Bika and Green...IS GREEN. So, you know. He probably has to wait a bit.

    I agree.

    Green is weak, Bika is fine and Abraham is right in between but another Kessler-like win should get Ward into the top 10.
    And yeah, I'm thinking of Froch. The S6 finale will be a boxing highlight.

    Wards best wins are miranda,bika,green,and kessler

    Out of all those fighters, kessler is the only one that was elite. miranda,bika, and green never have and probably never will make it at the top level

    Sergio has beaten Pwill and Pavlik. Both proven at world level and top 10 p4p for a time..

    If Wonjongkam isn't P4P on most lists than Ward has to beat a few better fighters to crack the list

    He's already in mine. I thought he was already in the Ring's as well.

    U

    Not top 10 where I think he should be.
    Nowadays all you need to do to crack top 10 is have a awesome knockout highlight. That will get you there real fast.

    He is already in the bottom half of the top 10 if you want to base it on talent. His resume needs both Froch and Bute on it to reach top 5.

    Depends on what your criteria is. For me, if and when he beats Froch is when he gets in.

    When he wins the Super 6, he'll be a top 5 P4P fighter. I mean you HAVE to put him there after the run he's been on.

    For me Froch does nothing. Froch was out boxed by Taylor and Ward is 10 x the talent of Taylor. I could understand Bute but he has a lot more to lose against Froch than to win.

    It doesn't matter what you think, it's about merit. Froch has a heck of a resume and beat some top level fighters. If Ward dominates Froch, that's a huge win.

    Im not sure if winning on headbutts is how you get into the top p4p but i dont bother much with them anyway. Genuinely anyone who thinks Ward has had any good competition since Kessler is deluding themselves.

    I honestly think that without some ko highlights it will take him a long while before he is recognised to everyone as pfp not just hardcore fans. My point is , is everyone currently ranked in the pfp top 10 better than Andre right now ???
