Is it possible Ward could become greater than Mayweather?

Go watch Mayweather-Gatti, or Mayweather-Corrales

By 28 Mayweather was a 3 weight world champ, and regarded as the best in the world, and still undefeated

-Yes it is overstating
-Ward won't travel to Denmark or Canada
-LHW is a poor division, Mayweather is a 5 weight world champ
-P4P rankings aren't a title, you don't have a reign as P4P atsch


Silly thread by a silly poster. Moving on

 

Im a huge floyd fan. But its more of his skillset than his resume kuz above 135 its pretty thin. Ward has faught any and everybody in his division besides lucy. Sure floyd has the moving up in weight but he really hasnt beaten the best oposition available when he did move up. Ward may not have the better resume but that fact that its gettin kinda close an he still has his best years in front of him that makes me think he can do it

An im not a big fan of wards style very talented but much like b-hop, i respect en but dont really enjoy them.

 

easily, he already is.

floyd has no skills. none.

 

Although I don't think he will. I think he has the ability to do so.

 

He's one maybe two fights from that title (Hopkins and Martinez)

 

He's dominated 1 weight division. 1. And in that entire division there are only about 2 elite fighters.

 

Lil Floyd had the skills, but not the balls

Ward - Oakland based as he may be - has pretty much fought them all

But..... He's already shown signs of Floyd like pussification by fighting Dawson at an unfair weight

It remains to be seen whether he goes on and takes on the best at proper fighting weights, or pussi chickens around when he inevitably gets to the p4p top

 

Yeah its possible, I'm afraid he may run out of "name" guys to fight, but he's off to a good start.

 

While Ward has shown a desire to face the best competition possible, that competition is still pretty limited compared to the opponents Mayweather has chosen.

We're watching a great career unfold, there's no reason to rush to compare it (other than your pwnage of Joe Cal thread).

 

Floyd Mayweather was legitimately the best fighter at his weight at age 21! He was regarded by all as one of the best fighters in the world(top 5 at least) before he was 25! People don't appreciate how special guys like Floyd and Pac are. One of the last generations of natural talent and brilliance. Ward is a great fighter. He is in his prime and is dominant, but he'll have to go up and win a HW belt to even get close to Floyd.

 

I hear what ur saying an i agree to an extent but after that run he has fought far from the best competition for whatever reason.

 

Of course definitely. It's not like any of his most important fights are fought down to the wire he's either dominated or crushed them. Kinda early to tell Floyd had his Castillo Ward might still get his version of Castillo. And when he does, when he gets pushed to his limits we'll see how he handles things. I think Ward might actually be alittle cooler and actually fight under pressure better than Mayweather, but we'll see.

 

Anything's possible. He's still got some fightin' to do.

 

it's possible, but compared to the OLD Floyd. no.
im talking about skill btw.
