Had some disappointing results from Pacquiao by my scorecard and from Khan who was on the cusp of taking a number 10 spot on the list. Martinez was less than stellar against a lesser opponent than Donaire's and lost his interchangeable place there. Segura departed from list which allowed Nishioka in, who himself has left with the inclusion of Andre Ward who broke away from that close group of 3 SMW's we have had for quite some time now.

Ward hasn't done anything to warrant a higher place on the list in my opinion, if you want him any higher then your basing that on ability and disregarding the resumes and/or dominance of the men above him who have earned their place there other many many fights and a number of years.

 

Guys from South America and the K2 are allowed in the club also.

 

the thing about Ward is he is mentally tough but doesn't like to take chances an intelligent fighter.

 

ya I agree. No need to do that when you know your opponent isn't going anywhere and you're pitching a near shut out

 

On achievements Ward should be slightly ahead of Martinez. But they are very even.

On skill....... difficult to say beause I really like Martnez' style and I don't care much for Ward's style. But if they were same size... I honestly think Ward would win.

 

:good

 

He's not complete. Lacks of power. He has all the rest though.

 

If he beats Bute one day, he'll have a better case. He needs a slick fighter on his resume before going too high.
