Andre Wards P4P status if he beats Dawson?

I think ward should be behind in no order
Mayweather,
Pacquiao,
Marquez,
Gonzalez,
Donaire,
Haye,
Gamboa,
John,
Khan,
Martinez,
V Klitshko,
W Klitschko

To name a few. No I dont think Ward would be top 10 yet

 

I'd have to wait to see how Dawson looks @ 168. If Chad looks drained, then I can't move Ward up too much. But let's not forget, it was Dawson that challenged Ward at 168, so you gotta take that into account.

 

I'd have him at #4;

1. Mayweather
2. Pacquiao
3. Marquez
4. Ward

 

Chad offering to come down might make Ward more justified in demanding the fight there, but it wouldn't somehow make a victory more impressive if Dawson is still nevertheless drained.

 

3-4.

 

I think the more interesting question is where to put Dawson if he wins, especially since he'd have gone lineal in two divisions in two fights.

 

is the contract signed?

 

How do you rate Ward so high? Kessler was an already beaten double vision suffering fighter who was headbutted to end a fight, Froch was beaten by that fighter coming off a loss and never beaten a top SMW, and Dawson lost to a fighter beaten by Froch. In fact Dawsons big wins are over a fighter 18 years older and 2 other fighters 14/15 years older, all in a different weight class.
So how would you have Ward above say Donaire? or one of the Klitschko brothers?

 

Depends on how he does it, got him at 6 now, 4?

 

BUT when Bute beats Froch I will rate him over Ward since I believe he is better. But if Ward beats Dawson he is back up.

 

No lower than 2. Maybe number one.

 

Because he is a better fighter than Donaire or Klitschko.

 

Exactly, otherwise you'd have to say Pac over ODLH was a historic accomplishment.

 

You need to lay off the hate with that insane list. Haye is a ****ing bum and Khan has done nothing to prove he is 25% as complete as Ward.

 

This too, top 5 easy, maybe better depending on other results.
