    We saw how Ward’s victim dealt with Bute. Bute’s chances were slim and none.

    Pacquiao fought in more weight divisions but did he mastered them like Ward did in his fewer divisions beating the very best.

    If both were the same weight Ward would do a Marquez 4 on him.

    Not always granted but Ward was way to good for Bute.

    When you fight a TON more quality fighters, you will look less than impressive at times. Pac fought over twice as many guys as Ward did. You can prefer Ward to Pac all day and night, but you cannot invent your own criteria for greatness.

    Simple facts: Pac beat more quality opponents, beat more champs than Ward did. By a mile at least!

    Also Pacquiao lost to more. Ward did not and he fought quality opponents. Anyway that is just my take.

    He butted and fouled the living crap out of Kessler. Fixed.

    That’s just your bias. You don’t like Ward just say so . He beat Kessler and everyone knows it.

    Of course Ward’s resume is outstanding and it’s not even debatable.

    It’s really not though. You can pretend it is but most people know it’s pretty average.

    When you say a resume that contains Froch, Kessler, Abrahams, Chad Dawson, Kovalev twice amongst others is average you lose credibility. There is literally nobody Ward should have faced that he did not face.

    Why do you list Abraham? HIs run at 168 is NOT impressive. That's closer to Pac's win over David Diaz. Dawson? Moving down messed him up. Ws his fault, but it still is what it is.
    Ward missed out on :
    Bute
    Anthony Dirrell
    Andre Dirrell

    Whatever reason you want, he still missed out on them.

    Olu...pac fought TWICE as many boxers as Ward. fought TWICE as many championship fights. Pac's accomplishments shits all over wards.

    There is absolutely NOTHING that suggests Ward ranks higher than Manny. If you do, then you clearly have some irrational bias in the works here. You simply are not being honest or genuine in regards to who ranks higher.
