I posted this in the other pissing contest of a thread but didn't want it to get lost. Just in case anyone's interested. By the numbers Ward's record against fighters who were: Rated top 10 at 168 at time of fight: 5-0 168 lb champions at the time of fight: 2-0 Have ever held a 168 lb title: 4-0 Were ever top 10 rated fighters (in any division): 7-0 Were ever champions (in any division): 5-0 Froch's record against fighters who were: Rated top 10 at 168 at time of fight: 7-2 168 lb champions at the time of fight: 2-1 Have ever held a 168 lb title: 4-2 Were ever top 10 rated fighters (in any division): 9-2 Were ever champions (in any division): 7-2
Great thread bro. By the way, Warddke is looking for a fight with Caleb Truax next and even tho you haven't heard of him till this day he will be ranked in top 10 by WBC or some other alphabet so Warddke fanboys can be proud. If you think Green,Bika,Abraham and even Kessler or Froch are some fabulous wins considering they were all leftovers one way or another then yeah,sure, his resume is great. And you forgot some numbers: Rated top 10 168 at the time fighting away: 0 Undefeated champions fought: 0 Rated top 10 168 undefeated opponents: 0 Passport: 0
Well the undefeated champions fought is not Ward's fault at all. He wiped out the SMW division in a very dominant manner and took on the light heavyweight kingpin and destroyed him as well. Down the road if Chad Dawson can get back on track and dominate at Lightheavy, I'd like to see a rematch between them at 175. Ward had his way with Froch, and I'd imagine he dominate him even worse if they fought again. There's no shame to that, Froch is a good fighter whereas Andre is a great one and a universally recognized top 3 P4P guy. It doesn't matter what Froch does with the remainder of his career, he'll never jump over Ward in the rankings. I'm not a fan of either guy personally so I say this all from a neutral and unbiased perspective, Ward is in another stratosphere compared to Froch. it's not even close.
yes sir, you are spot on, but this thread is about resumes by numbers, and Ward's resume by numbers is ****. If you want, we can talk resumes by names, where Ward's resume is even worst then the one by numbers.
Who gives a **** about the difference in resumes. Ward handled Froch when they fought, and would do the same if they were to fight again.
We all know Froch lost to Kessler in Denmark and against Ward in his backyard. Great thread! But you are still missing the point about Wardtkhe
