    my avatar picture show's he's holding them all at the same time lol

        I don't think he is tougher, but he does have more one punch power. Bute's uppercut is a game changer.

          That is a publicity photo. If they show Manny with all his belts that doesn't mean he he'll
          Held them simultaneously.

            Wish Ward would just barrel on ahead and destroy Bute, end this charade of a question as to who runs the division, then take a break followed by moving up in weight.

              rematches with kessler and froch are unnecessary and wouldn't push anybody beyond any threshold


              beating bute would be a serious win. he's not perfect but he's a beast in his prime on a bit of a tear himself.

              outside of dirrell its the only business at 168 left unfinished.


              it's way too early to make any historic distinctions about andre ward
              the guy is literally in the middle of his prime.


              one thing we can say to a degree of certainty is that he's one hell of a boxer.

              i think he's the best fighter under 30 in the game.
              unlike donaire (whose power might not carry against bigger men,) ward has a style that can easily work to foil larger opponents. as an amateur he fought at 178!

                he's already beaten them impressively enough to ensure that they wouldnt have a chance in the second fight


                there's no need for it to actually happen


                not significant wins, rematches of non-competative fights

                  Totally agree. And you won't be hearing Froch or Kessler demanding one. Plus it's a very tough ticket to sell, especially outside of Oakland or Denmark/England.

                    You do realize fighters get to keep a copy of the title they win for life right?
