No I don't. I don't really consider him awesome right now and certainly not in Mayweather's class. Mayweather and Hopkins are exceptions to the rule. Most fighters lose a lot by age 36 and Ward will probably lose a lot by that age unless he is another exception. Even fighters who take the best possible care of themselves still usually lose speed and stamina, skill and reaction time from natural aging.

No announcement yet.
Do you guys think Andre Ward will still be awesome at 36-37 like Mayweather, Marquez?

I think so...he has nursed his injuries, not much punishment taken...a student of the game....I feel he will go down as a ATG

Originally posted by Monaco View PostWard has never been a great fighter. What has he done? An illegal move to cut Kessler, ruined Dawsons career by making him kill himself in the weight cut and refused to repay Froch by facing him in his country.
And on top of all that, he is BORING and can't sell out an oakland bingo hall. He's retired BTW
Actually Ward wants to face Froch in UK, has wanted to for a while. Froch and Hearn first said Ward was ducking then said he is not big enough, now Froch says Ward would beat him on points.
He knocked out his last two opponents. He went toe to toe with Froch and dominated him. I don't really think he is that boring. Maybe sometimes. He needs to fight some dangerous opponents, hopefully Jay Z can entice some killers into facing him.
