will ward go down as a top 5 atg?

the division's pretty weak atm and - at this stage - his record is nowhere near ATG status. He could be an ATG if he moves up and down weight beating credible fighters in their own division.

top 5 ATG? wtf are you smoking

**Earl-Hickey** · 09-10-2012, 12:29 AM

yeah, dead cert.

Is this for real? He still has a very long way to go before he could even be considered as a top 20 ATG.

No because the guys just aren't out there for him to beat to reach that level, but he can easily be the best 168 pounder ever if he wants to stick there or he can try to climb the list at 175 which is a much tougher list to crack (especially when you look at the guys out there currently).

He could be around for a while though so he should probably wait around at 168 hoping 175 gets hot then go up to clear that out. He might be able to get pretty high under that scenario.

Unless of course he goes up and becomes a dominant heavyweight, then yes he could probably crack the top 5.

Too soon. Wait for a few years when he's surely a future Hall of Famer. Then after HOF status, you can talk about top 100 ATG. You're way off with the top 5 stuff.

If he rematches and beats Allan Green, then yes.

**Hougigo** · 09-10-2012, 12:46 AM

And people thought the Golovkin threads were overboard after his win

**MRBOOMER** · 09-10-2012, 12:57 AM

Only if he beats ray Robinson joe Frazier prime Roy jones Archie Moore walcott and Floyd Patterson but weight their all dead so I guess not.
