Now that Bud established himself as a great 168 pound fighter how does he do against Andre Ward who beat Froch and Dawson?
Bud does badly. Very badly. And it's not about Ward being better.. because P4P Crawford's better and greater than SOB... but Ward was an ENTIRELY different level than Canelo.
I assume Ward and Calzaghe and Toney and Kessler beat either Crawford or Alvarez at 168. I assume Bob Foster would beat Tommy Hearns at light heavyweight. I make a lot of assumptions because the doctor has diagnosed me with something called assumptivitis.
I didn’t like Ward as a fighter, but he would beat both Canelo and Crawford at 168. Comfortably. 168 is probably Crawfords upper limit size wise and Canelo was also not nearly as good at 175. At 168 Ward is bigger, and he’s a very effective fighter.
