If Andre Ward wins the Suepr Six and beats Bute...

i seriously dont understand how ward gets away with all his drty tactis for real....he uses it like its a jab....

That's how he beat Kessler, in the middle of the ring by boxing. People tend to forget that because he has chosen to grind it out in the trenches for his last 2 fights. i def have issues with ward and the way he fights .... hes seems like a real cool guy but i hate what he gets away with in the ring. if he were a euro i think many others on the forum would as well. people didnt liek the way hatton fought and ward isnt that different to him in style (at least of late) the kess fight may have been more in the middle of the ring but still had its fair share of elbows headbutts and holding. impressive win but i didnt like the way he got it as well the bika fight was key for me. bika is slow of foot and hand, so wide and telegraphed, off balanced. and ward tried early to box and counter and didnt do so great. he fought bika's fight and went into the 'trenches' with a guy he shouldnt have with. i wonder why? i think it may have been cause he wasnt good enuf to keep it on the outside. why else would he make it so hard for himself ... and that fight was much closer then the cards reflected.

I would say yes, since I believe Froch is already p4p, and beating him would catapult him up top

i really dont think he could beat him in the middle of the ring in a pure boxing match That's how he beat Kessler, in the middle of the ring by boxing. People tend to forget that because he has chosen to grind it out in the trenches for his last 2 fights.

if he is allowed to fight the way hes been fighting of late i think he beats bute ... and pretty well anyone else as well. but i think its unfair ugly and boring to watch. i really dont think he could beat him in the middle of the ring in a pure boxing match

Yes he could be at least #4 behind Pacquiao, Martinez and Mayweather. He could pull Donaire to #5 spot.

No doubt about it.

Hopefully after Bute he could get a fight with Stieglitz and then move up to 175.

I think he belongs in p4p now imo. And if he wins the S6 and beats Bute that makes him probably the best SMW of all time.

With a resume like that Andre Ward would be challenging for the #1 spot. Especially if Pacquiao keeps cherry picking easy fights.

JUUUUST checking, because lately I've seen a lot of hate for the guy. Honestly, I think he's very VERY talented and has all the potential, but was unsure what people thought. hahahah

It could do, Pound for pound rankings are really getting interesting at the moment. Not long ago it was Pacquiao/Mayweather, then JMM and the rest. Now you've got Martinez and Donaire, Ward could be up there in contention for a top 5 slot soon, so could the winner of Bradley Khan, Wlad can stake a stronger claim to be higher up if (more like when) he beats Haye. Things are getting interesting, it's good that things are kind of moving on from the lack of a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.

If he beats Abraham, Froch-Johnson winner and Bute? Yes. He would be Top 10 P4P without question and probably the best resume at 168 of all time.
