    Thoughts on Andre Ward

    This guy is *honestly* the most overrated fighter in boxing at the moment in my opinion.

    He's a good fighter, don't get me wrong, but he's not as good as people make it out to be. Honestly, I see Carl Froch being extremely competitive with Ward, and I also see Abraham perhaps KOing Ward.

    Lucian Bute I would FIRMLY believe KO's Ward. Jean Pascal is also a guy who I think would beat Ward unquestionably.

    Ward does not have any notable punching power whatsoever. He's also not the fastest guy. Ward does have good technique, and he is a tough guy. But his talent levels are lacking.

    He is a bit of a brawler, and thats fine, but he doesnt have the power to back it up.

    I *guarantee* this guy gets exposed when he faces Abra, Bute, or Pascal. They will all beat him easily.

    Andre Ward = Next Danny Jacobs

      Ward does not have any notable power whatsoever. And its not like he's very fast either. He's easy to hit, he's a bit slow, no power.

      This guy is made to order for Lucian Bute or even Abraham, Pascal.

      Ward has been matched very carefully up till now and mark my words this guy is the next Danny Jacobs.

        I disagree, i think Ward has potential. Come on man he's not slow and hes not easy to hit. Very little people expected him to dominate Kessler like that and he was the underdog in that fight. Danny Jacobs? lol come on, nothing alike.

          I been saying this for awhile, Ward is smart and he is really driven.

          Every time I hear the man speak he just looks like a guy on a mission to beat everyone.

            He is friggin slow. If you watch him. His punches are slow. Andre Ward is a brawler, and thats cool, but he doesnt have the power to go with it.

            Dirrell is much faster than him. Honestly, with good judging, and good health, I think Dirrell would possibly beat Ward on decision.

            Bute has remarkable one punch power, he's also fast as helllllll.

            Ward has none of that.

              That's the only thing you've said that I can partially agree with, but I can't see anyone else other than Dirrell that would give Ward problems.

                Ward was not expected to neutralize kessler and what he do? shut him down.

                The kid is a true pro, lives, eats, ****s, boxing. He doesnt slack and will do anything to win at all cost.

                Its that intangible attribute that few have that will seperate him from the pack.

                  Bute and Abraham beat him in my opinion. He beats the rest.

                    Lets see last 4 fights
                    Miranda
                    Pudwill
                    Kessler
                    Green


                    He is, best win was a Kessler who no one gave any credit, suddenly Ward beats him and Kessler was the greatest fighter ever..

                    To put Ward on a p4p list is rediculous. The way he fights its worse than Hattons old tactics as he holds more..but some will say he boxes beautifully.
