    I'm not saying he's the best or that he is unbeatable, but is there a more complete fighter in boxing?

    If so, who?
    for young fighters he is one of the frontrunners

    he's a very well rounded boxer
    he's perhaps not the biggest puncher
    and he's not a killer. he doesn't seem to be a big risk taker or a finisher.

    for a young man, he's got a big bag of tricks
    and he's got a very solid physical and athletic foundation


    he's a step ahead of bradley in my eyes (i compare the two only because of their professional styles, records, youth, and lack of real knock out power,)

      For a an up and comer he is the most complete guy to come around in a minute, his tool box is very big which in turns makes him a hard man to deal with.

      I always see him doing different things, like or dislike has nothing to do with recognizing game~

        It's either him or Bradley. If you still consider Mayweather as not retired he is obviously a good answer but Ward right now is more complete than Mayweather right now IMO. Not better, but more complete.

          Marquez isn't a good defensive fighter, especially now. Martinez isn't anywhere near as complete as Ward, he is not hard to hit and doesn't fight inside.

              to be honest if ward can beat froch/johnson I'd put him way ahead of martinez.

              thats bika, abraham, kessler, & froch.

              I'd definitely put him pass martinez.........

              skill set i already put him past martinez. martinez is mainly a outside fighter with a bicycle. ward is just as good on the outside but even better on the inside vs martinez.

                  while this is true he is a way better offensive fighter than Ward and smarter at his gameplan which in turns almost sets his defense because he sets traps as good or better than anyone in the sport right now

                    He is one of the most complete fighters in boxing, but I wouldn't say as the MOST complete. I would have to pick Mayweather in the category. Mayweather can do nearly everything in the ring with the exception of facing Pacquiao.. He's one of the most well rounded boxers in the game.
