    Usyk but Ward gets a bad rap on this forum
    His resume is more stacked, but he has more question marks

    I'm pretty sure usyk even said Ward was the boxed in the world a few years ago

    Definitely have usyk as number 1 though

    Pretty sure when you feel the need to reword the same point seven times it becomes pretty clear you have a lot of emotion but not that much to say.

    Self-righteous indignations looks good on no one bud.


    For the record, I reckon Usyk too. ... Undisputed x2

    Wards boxrec should come with a huge asterisk atrached.. because there's controversy surrounding many of his victories.. Kessler was rendered almost blind in their fight due to Wards forehead.. plus the excessive clinching.. both the Kovalev fights were controversial.. Chad Dawson wasn't a SMW.. nor was Miranda or Abraham in fact.. & Bika, Barrera & Rodriguez never really amounted to much. Froch was a good win but everyone is aware of Carls limitations. I think Breidis & peak Kessler are a similar level of fighter but Usyk didn't muay thai to beat him. It's easy to just go on boxrec & look at a list of names & say it's more stacked, but you have to put context to it.. the condition of said fighter etc.. there's an argument to be made that Ward should have been stripped of at least 3 of his wins.. because he blatantly cheated or got a gift decision. Can't say that for Usyk. You might be impressed by his resume, but a lot of people can see through it too.

    I forgot to post this. Thanks for reminding me, champ :thumbsup:

    ''I'm not a dirty fighter. You can check any of my 20 fights I've never done that intentionally''

    Jim Grey: ''Are you a dirty fighter?''

    Andre Ward: ''Absolutely not!''


    ''I'm glad that I can win ugly sometimes (ROFL), because at the end of the day it's just about winning, right?

    ''I'm just saying, man, every cut I got is a headbutt or an elbow. Every single one.

    ''But that's why there's a third man in the ring (ROFL)''

    ''All these are either blatant headbutts or elbows, literally blatant. Not one of these was from a punch''

    "We expected this kind of fight with Bika," Ward said. "Every laceration I have was literally [from] a headbutt or an elbow. I clearly remember each one of them. That's what you get when you fight a guy like Sakio."

    ---Andre Ward after the Bika fight

    ''At the end of the day, boxing is already a tough enough business to not have to put up with illegal blows.

    ''I don't mind the occasional foul if it's an accident but the intentional stuff I just can't put up with it''

    --Andre Ward aka the dirtiest fighter of his generation

    Lets see one of the dirtiest fighters ever who had to stack the deck against his opponents just to win and still should have lost to Kovolov and retired before he could fight any up and coming fighters vs one of the cleanest fighters ever who had the deck stacked aganst him in most of his fights and still clearly won every fight gee I wonder who's better......(obviously Usyk)

    Well if we're comparing who's best at punching below the belt, Ward easily takes it.
