    I wouldn't say he has one of the best resumes in boxing, he's got a decent resume and he's proven himself at 168, that's about it.

    With a better chin I'd favor Andre over wlad

    That's how good he is

    Best talent since jones jnr

    And jones jnr is arguably the greatest of all time

    Ward has never beaten a p4p fighter, hasn't had a significant win since 2011 and some people still rank him p4p#2 :lol: guys like Kessler and Froch are tailor made for him anyway, the one time we saw him against a decent counterpuncher albeit a journeyman he was nearly KO'd. Hes no longer in my top 10 and never ranked higher than 4 or 5 on my list

    The difference between Floyd and ward is

    Floyd lost to Castillo and looked like crap against Hatton de la Hoya and maidana cotto

    Ward destroyed everyone to the point where everyone just fought for second place at 168

    Idiots talk about Stevenson as a real threat

    Are you f*ckin jokin
    Froch is so much better than the ******

    There is no threat to ward outside of cruisers and hws

    Just like Roy

    But Floyd also beat Castillo, Floyd didn't look any worse vs Hatton than Ward did vs Kessler and DLH and Cotto are very good fighters whereas Ward looked **** against Bika. Floyd has also fought in multiple weight divisions whereas ward hasn't even proven he can be effective in more than one.

    Another personality cult developing around a boring, chinny, dirty, Murican boxer.

    Ward's resume is as good as any active boxer at 168lbs. Froch, Kessler, AA and Dawson are all decent wins.

    Of course his resume isn't the best in boxing at the moment but it's not terrible either. He clearly needs more quality wins if he is the have the kind of resume that really stands out from the rest, especially if we are talking historically. Ward hasn't done enough to be regarded as an ATG, he needs to get back in the ring and start building on his resume.

    You would only think his resume is overrated if you don't value all or some of the long time champions in: Froch, Kessler, Abraham, Bika, Dawson.

    Which would make you pretty dumb on that subject, in my opinion...
