    Yeah I'd love to see Artur get his hands on Ward the dirtiest player in the game

    SOB not even in top 100

    In the tournament which made his name, he never traveled while everyone else did, that right there should have told everyone he was being even every advantage to turn him into a star but unfortunately for him his style was garbage & not fan friendly

    He specialized in headbutting (like against Kessler), elbows, nut shots, & clinching (which believe it or not is against the rules of Boxing)

    People make fun of Haney's running hug to Linares in round 12 but forget Ward's attempt at a bear hug to Kovalev at the start of round 3 in their first fight

    Has Ward ever fought more then 10 miles away from his home ?

    For a 'World Champion" thats kinda lame.

    Ali is a World Champion
    he fought everywhere

    Ward was a good fighter who is overrated imo. He’s in the top 100 and that’s in the last 25 closer to 100.

    IMO he was a dirty fighter who never lived up to his full potential. That fight with Kessler was a huge turn off and whenever I think of his career I think of that fight. He fouled like crazy and the ref is a whole other story in that one.

    I'm not much of a list maker, but I could see Ward slipping into the latter end of the top 100. Maybe.

    If you rate him as a SMW, it would be absurd for him to not be right near the top. One of the greatest SMWs ever.
