I am a big fan of Ward. I feel like he represents a part of Oakland that goes way back, and includes athletes like the late Billy Martin, who was every bit as scrappy as any New Yawk tough guy...
Oakland is a tough scrappy town, at least where the hipsters fail to tread. So, without mentioning any fighter in particular, where would Ward stand if he comes back and beats continues his success?
Like Floyd he may have to do it in multiple weight classes, even at the dreaded "Catch weight." But there are some guys coming up that are in Ward's kill range so to speak.
Lets say he beats Usyk. Lets say Kovalev fights on and wins impressively,. Is there a point where Ward compares to Mayweather? What do you think?
When you talk histories best fighters ward will be hugely ignored. Too many fighters did great things and ward didn't stand out and didn't do anything others havent.
Yes, kovalev was considered a threat but so what.?

Do you even know where a man's nuts are? If you call yourself elphag, I would think you should know
lmao,
his 5 ball punch combination is on video
hard to lie about it when its on video
We aint talking about the 1874 bareknuckle ball punching mishap. We are talking about when Andre Ward landed 5 ball shots in a row to stop Kovalev, live on TV in front of thousands of people.
A win over Usyk would be far better than any of Mayweather's wins. What is Floyd's best win anyway? Diego Corrales? Ricky Hatton? Old Pacquiao?
Lol. This older Pacquiao is about to beat Broner. I believe lol
I can't see him ever matching Mayweather's accomplishments. Even beating Usyk wouldn't be enough. There's not enough big names in around his weight division for him to match what Mayweather did.
Ward in my eyes is a glorified American Sven Ottke, only fights with hometown advantage, corrupt officials and fights with constant fouls that he is not punished for. he will never be compared to Mayweather.
hth.
Beats Usyk?? I'd be impressed as hell if he cleaned out 175. Ward isn't fighting Usyk. It's safe for Ward to talk about it because it's not happening, for so many reason$.
