Ward's power is underrated. He has stinging power which gets his opponents attention and keeps them honest. And with his skillset that's all he needs. People go on like he's a feather duster. Look at the reaction of his opponents when they get hit.
I do not doubt that, but that still doesnt mean knock out victories. How low would you go down the rankings to be fairly certain of a Ward KO?
-But seriously, All Andre needs is Robert Garcia in his corner. He'll be knocking down opponents in no time flat. - and you can cast that fact in plaster!
He could KO Stieglitz, Kessler, Sartison, Gonzalez, Stevenson, Magee, Mendy, Dirrell, DeGale, Brinkley, Davis and George. He's not featherfisted he's just fought a lot of tough guys recently that don't get stopped. The only guy in the recent sequence of decisions that he should have stopped is Green. Froch, Abraham, Bika, there's no shame in not stopping those guys.
You know what you are right, he couldnt knock out no 19 Bika. Now name another top 10 P4P who you couldnt be confident of knocking out the top 20 in their own division. And for that reason he is not top 10 P4P.
I tried using Andre Ward on fight night champion, he went against glass jaw Amir Khan on easy and it was set for 15 rounds! All amir did was push him when ward tried to wrestle! was the most boringest match I ever play on fight night. it ended up being a draw, and it was wired because ward kept headbutting amir with out points taken away, must of been a glitch.
are you ******ed? The fact that he can still be very dominating without KO power solidified his justification for being a top 10 p4p.
