At these weights I have to say after seeing Ward KO Dawson, Ward is in his prime and unbeatable very similar to Roy Jones at 168 or 175 in his prime. There isn't a fighter alive who can beat Andre Ward and P4P Ward is #2 behind only Floyd Mayweather Jr. Everyone predicted Ward would win, some even predicted Ward would win easily, but nobody thought he would completely humiliate Dawson and make Dawson quit on his feet. That was a psychological game changer and we can expect Ward to be avoided.
how is he the king at 160?is he planning to go down at 160 and face Martinez in Buenos Aires or Chavez in Mexico?no,he is expecting them to go up and come to jOakland.Sven Warddke is the king of 168 in jOakland,this is true.
He is definitely the king at 168, but to say he is the king at 160 or at 175 is ludicrous. Let him come down to 160 and fight Martinez...will he? Of course not, he already said so in a post fight interview last night. He wants Martinez to come up to 168, but he's not willing to go down to 160, and I'm 100% sure he would not go down to Argentina to fight him...hell, we'd all be lucky if he steps a foot outside of Oakland. So, until he goes down to 160 and beats the top dogs in that division, he is most certainly not the king at 160. Obviously, the same argument applies to being the king at 175...fight them and win at that weight, then we can say he is the king at 175.
If Ward dropped 8lbs he'd get ****ed up by Martinez similar to what he did to Dawson. Guys who are already pretty cut at the weight should never move down, a lesson Dawson has just learned.
Agree, unlike Mayweather Ward fought ONLY the best and beat the best, didn't dodge his own division when it was stacked. Ward the true p4p#1.
