Not the guy with under13 fights without head gear vs biggest puncher,best athlete,best adapter,biggest character of the lower weights .
To win rigo has to kill or stone cold ko the flash to win.
If he can't with his low out put ,he loses by stoppage or a lopsided UD
Easy work for flash if rigo comes to win
If rigo tries to survive easy win for flash ,boring fight for us
Ward beats...
RJJ - without a ref to pull Ward off him, he has Ward on his chest for 12 rounds
McClellan - same
Calzaghe - same
Benn - same, and he was best at MW
Toney is a 50-50, as he has the inside game to compete.
Mcclellan and benn have punchers chances i'd be suprised if ward to handle the pressure i still see him beating them RJJ and Toney would be his toughest tests
McClellan was a beast. Some say he could have got Roy .but i seen most his fights, amazing fighter,benn cheated him all night with those rabbit punches
Probably all but RJJ and Toney. There's really no beating these two, not yet. Andre Ward is elite no doubt, and i'm sure he's yet to give a full account of himself
Prime Roy beats him, and prime Toney beats him...Roy was simply superman, you don't beat him at his best. Toney's inside game and defensive brilliance would render a lot of Ward's offense useless and for that reason, he would take a decision.
The rest? Ward takes very wide decisions.
Toney beats him in my opinion, Ward wouldn't be able to apply his inside game against a far more superior infighter in Toney, in fact what many here never seem to bring up is how Ward's inside game consists mostly of typing his opponent up, very little of havin' two hands free. That clinching isn't gonna work against an uppercut artist like James, James could slip those in as well as anybody. Toney forces Ward to box, but even then I see Toney countering him from mid range and hurting him quite a few times. Toney decision, something like an 8-4 U.D. Now if the lazy unprepared Toney shows up, then Ward dominates, one could count on that happening too.
Don't feel like giving an analysis on how Roy beats him, Roy beats him.
That's how I see it so far, Ward is still improving so my opinion can change...every time I see some of his training sessions he's always working on his technique, coordination and defense. His offense is built around being defensively responsible at all times, which isn't seen much nowadays.
