Is Andre Ward a great fighter?

[TreyShaw]

Curious what the folks here think?

[Rip Chudd]

I think he was very good. Ran through the Super 6, lost to Kovalev the first fight in my opinion but rebounded the 2nd. Not the prettiest style but effective, great jab and footwork.

Guess no one thinks he’s a great fighter?

Do you consider him great?

I do! One of the best of this generation. Easy HOFamer...

Na....not great. He beat the rag tag bunch of super sixers who weren't let's face it world beaters...with a decent amount of advantages. He had a decent duo with Kovalev which gets him some credit but again...he had some home advantages. He didn't stay around and as such he doesn't get the glories that a lot of people want to bestow upon him. He didn't actually do anything that hadn't been done before. Good fighter if you like that style...but no Son of God I'm afraid.

prime Michael Kessler
Artur Abraham
prime Carl Froch
Chad Dawson
prime Kovalev x2
