Andre Ward is a complete fighter, he is cut from the cloth of Mayweather & Roy Jones combined. He's style is to box and win by any means nessessary. He has the ability to adapt to any style with SMARTS. Keep an eye on Ward cause he's going places!

I do not agree with this. Ward isn't very good and I don't believe he will come close to the level of success of the Great Roy Jones Jr or FMJ.
To say he's from their cloth is absurd. Roy is one of the greatest ever and I can't think of anybody that I'd bet on throughout boxing history when they're up against Roy.
Ward and Dirrell are both chumps as far as I'm concerned, although I do like Ward more than Dirrell.
No not Roy Jones at all. Maybe a Floyd/Hopkins combined fighter. And, that still might be pushint it.
But, I see no Roy in Ward. Dirrell has more Roy in him then Ward does.
yes he have the style of Hopkins and Mayweather but have same combinations of Roy, obiusly dont have his speed and splotion
people think dirrell is gonna get mugged, but fail to realise that kessler and green are stationary targets, dirrell gives you a hard slap and turns 90 degrees when he feels the ropes to close
and when you get inside(not hold) he flurries out then gives you the slap and turns agains sliding across the ropes
ward is way overmatched
I cant believe so many people like the way Ward fights. The biggest problem i see with Ward that he has no power. Some day a strong guy will run him over. Its far to early anyway to compare him to guys like Roy Jones or Mayweather.
You're underrating Mikkel and Green's chins. Both of these fighters have never been knocked out.
lets see how ward does against others boxers like dirrell or maybe chad dawson b4 we start making comparisons to floyd or RJ. Wards has looked gr8 so far but its been against guys he matched up very well against. kessler, greene and miranda are all good fighters but they style wise dont match up with ward.
Hes not on Jones or Mayweathers level and won't be anytime soon. Hes a completely different type of fighter, the only similarity is that he has yet to take any punishment and has lost very little rounds in his 21 fights. Hes more comparable to a present day Hopkins, because even Hopkins in his youth was a straight up beast steamrolling dudes, not clinching/spoiling.
I dont understand either why people on Ward's nuts. Yes he has skills and he is fast but why is he fighting as if he doesnt have his legs anymore(ex Bernard hopkins). Bhop doesnt have his legs anymore so thats why he clinches alot, dunno about his headbutts. Ward is 26 and fighting dirty as hell. Coming in with his head is dirty, I can careless what you call it. He has the skills to make fights exciting even with his average power but he doesnt. If you guys think Ward is the next Roy jones than Berto must be GOD.

just because someone's boring doesn't make them a bad boxer.
what makes you think Nigel Benn would do this?
i'm not sayin that he is clearly a good boxer but honestly why are why people hyping this guy up so much i've been more impressed with andre dirrell than i have with ward he has had tougher fights in this tournament and won both of them imo
and benn was relentless there isn't one guy in that division aside from maybe bute or froch that could bang with nigel he'd put protected fighters like ward to sleep
let's see him with unbiased officiating before we call him an ATG. i mean **** me you guys are wayyyy overhyping this guy. let him prove himself as the best in his division before you compare him to some of the best fighters of all time. damn!
exactly who has beaten kessler and green great make way for the next sugar ray leonard
fighters nowadays suck balls they are really boring to watch nigel benn would've knocked out everyone in that division in a few rounds tell me i'm lying
let's see him with unbiased officiating before we call him an ATG. i mean **** me you guys are wayyyy overhyping this guy. let him prove himself as the best in his division before you compare him to some of the best fighters of all time. damn!
In a few years Andre Ward will be the best fighter in the sport, mark my words.
At the rate he is going, I see this being the case. One thing that I LOVE is how focused and dedicated he is. Dude is tough. Very tough and as I said, its going to be hard to beat him. I have him winning this tourney.
andre ward is my type of fighter. i did not expect that and am glad that oakland, that shit-hole, has a 5-star fighter to root for in the midst of all that mediocrity.

i actually couldn't believe it when they said ward is like roy jones only technically better
tarver never fought the real jones anyway so his perception of roy is warped because he knocked him out
ward is good but i can't see him being the best fighter in any weight division which is what roy was
plus why does ward hold so much?? like to make up for the fact that he doesn't want to box the whole time he jumps in with one jab then holds then does the same thing he doesn't get hit much fighting this way but roy was able not to be hit standing infront of you with his hands down feinting counter punching daring you to catch him making a mistake and he could knock you out with one punch i see none of that from ward
who has he beaten kessler and green?
you're tellin me that at super middleweight he could take out james toney or mike mccallum or bernard hopkins at middleweight i can't see it
tehnically maybe he is better than roy at fundamentals by roy was so incredible in every other area that i really can't see how they could say andre ward is better than him
