ward resume breakdown of past 5 years: kessler only previously beaten by calzaghe and was favoured to win super 6. dominating performance. 2 points deducted for fouling on my score. 8 allan green - dominating win against an over matched guy 5 bika- rough and tuff win vs a wild awkward style 7 abraham- 2nd favourite to win super 6 with a big punch. 8 froch - v good win vs a v good fighter and fought with a broken hand 9 dawson- ko a guy who jus beat bhop but 3 points docked for fighting weight drained version 7 edwin- best available opponent at 168 who ward hadnt already beat. edwin also came in overweight. 6 overall score: 50

Rigo should be a lot higher on your list then. Dude has amazing skills and he beat Donaire when he was top 3 p4p. Has Ward beat anybody that was on the p4p list? donaires overrated and ward has the best resume of any fighter in the past 5 years

I'd have to bookmark this for later and read the pages. All I know is that Calderon should be on everyone's list. It's a shame he fought at such a small weightclass. He's simply one of the best pure boxers ever man, hyperbole not withstanding. Him vs Lopez would have been legendary

Cotto should be ahead of Andre Ward. Cotto's accomplished much more than Ward. but ward is better, balance of overall skill level and resume

Trinidad, Jones, ODLH dont belong, they did most of their work in the 90's and by 2004 they all fell off. Mosley had all his losses this century and only big wins he had were Margarito, shop worn Mayorga, Vargas, Collazo...He did resurrect his career and had the big win over ODLH Mosley is maybe bottom 20. I agree with this post.

The title was not on the line against the debuters and i'm certainly not putting any value in those wins. His record in the 21st century is 60-3-2, only a handful were debuters. Looking past the debuters, quite a few of those defenses were questionable. Now on to my next beef, how is he ranked higher than Morales? A win over Pacquiao alone sh*ts all over Wonjongkam's resume. Then he also has a win over Maidana (who gave Mayweather his toughest fight to date) well past his prime.

Trinidad's best W in the era was Joppy. Come on fellas.

Oba Carr, Campas, Blocker, He had a near Prime Pea there, Quartey, Lopez, Forrest, Page, etc. and he didn't fight one of them and Delahoya made him look stupid. Very overrated fighter but King wanted a latino to fill the void when Chavez went down.
