I get what you are trying to say tooi know what you're trying to say but my point is floyd was successful because of his skills more than his punching power. the same can't be said about ward (at least not yet) because i think his skill set hasn't been really tested. he had a couple of good wins and that's it. if he can get through green and dirrel then it's safe to say that even without too much power in his punches his skills can carry him through.
I think the Super 6 is a good way to test his skills, dont you agree?Comment

Yes but PBF skills compare to none. There is one PBF every 5 Andre Wards. That said, Ward is a good fighter on his own.lol, compare PBF to him, PBF has no big power and does just fine
Ward is 21-0 with 13KO
Mayweather at 21-0 had 15KO
another stat is
Ward rounds boxed 115 KO% 61.9
Mayweather rounds boxed 299 KO% 60.98
I think Ward will do just fine, I am not saying he is the next PBF, but he is and will get better.
Now if ward had power like paulie malignaggi or yuri foreman, then , yeah I would agree with you 100%Comment

I think he has a great skillset as ceilings said but I think he can be beat as can anyone. I like his movement and quickness but he tends to headbutt too much for me to say it is an accident.well most people think he will win the super-6 im a fan of him because he grew up in my town and i can tell you his not truely know among casual fans but they have heard of some fighter that grew up in the town.Do you guys think he will become a super/mega star in boxing?
Otherwise, he is better than 95% of all boxers in any division. I'm not even a huge fan of his but he is the goodsComment

I dont think Green is that much of a threat, he does have good skills and KO power. Green in winning against Simms didn't look good and should had blown him away. Simm hasn't fought good competition and is out of his weight class and also hasn't fought in a while. Simms is a boxer by nature and Ward is bigger with a better set of skills and power. Green biggest fight was against lose against Miranda which he looked confused once the fight didn't go his way.
JDJ might help but I guess we will find out on fight nightComment

I want Ward to win because I want him to be as good as advertised. Green doesn't bowl me over either. And I hope his excuse for the Miranda bout is true (then it wouldn't be an excuse, I guess) because that performance was terrible. But I'm not convinced with Ward yet. We'll see.I dont think Green is that much of a threat, he does have good skills and KO power. Green in winning against Simms didn't look good and should had blown him away.

I picked him or Abraham to win the Super Six before the Tournament and I still think it will be one of them, Ward toughest Challenge will be Green and Dirrell, I think he would beat Abraham and Froch via UD, so if he gets past Green on Saturday and Dirrell the next round then I think he will win it all
but Ward is a great guy and he gives GREAT interviews, he can be the next big Superstar in Boxing if he wins this TournamentComment

I think besides Ward abilities one of his biggest assets is ring IQ. He sees everything that is going on and adjustes automatically. Not that a KO punch one reach him one day cause he has been down in the past against lesser fighters.I want Ward to win because I want him to be as good as advertised. Green doesn't bowl me over either. And I hope his excuse for the Miranda bout is true (then it wouldn't be an excuse, I guess) because that performance was terrible. But I'm not convinced with Ward yet. We'll see.
Like yourself I would have to see him against more top fighters to start viewing him as one of the elite's in boxing right nowComment

To Green credit he did get a surgeory after that fight. I expect Ward to win but this super six is something else. It has been exciting to watch with unexpected results. It keeps you guessing which is the best part and nobody is running away with the thingI want Ward to win because I want him to be as good as advertised. Green doesn't bowl me over either.
