    Dan Rafael has him ranked 15 on pound for pound list. I rank him 15 after he defeats Green, do you concur? Discuss:thumbsup

    lol Why would beating Green elevate him? Who has Green beat.

    I think 15 is reasonable if he wins tonight without looking stink.

    No higher than around that though, for me.

    not necessarily about who he's beaten it's the fact that many know this is a true test for Ward and some pick Green to upset Ward.

    Nah. But if he won S6 and beat Bute he would be top 10 no doubt.

    Beating Green doesn't have any impact except for the 'my top 15 P4P list is the last 15 fighters I saw on TV' brigade.

    Nah, I don't think so. My expectations of him of this fight is him dominating Green and knocking him out. For me I'll still probably have him on the outside of the top 15.

    If he beats Bute after winning the S6 I'd have him in the top5, but he has to do it first.

    Green is a top 10 SMW. If Ward puts on an impressive performance against him, he's definately a top 15 p4p fighter.
