    Roy Jones, at 168, We have yet to see what he offers at 175 but he would be a good fight for anybody from 168-175 even RJJ.

      I totally disagree. Who besides RJ? The rest were when he was old an should've lost but he's still giving them hell. Add that to the fact he was RJ's toughest fight by far besides Griffin.

      Ward us my boy but his athleticism is somewhat overrated to me. I just rate Hopkins higher than most. In his prime I think he ices Ward all day.

      People talk about Floyd vs pac but the RJ-Tito fight was just as bug to me. I still favored Roy but Hopkins would've gave him hell after the Tito fight if it would've been made.

        Hagler, Hearns, Hopkins(beats Ward easily I might add), Calzaghe(whoops Ward), and a couple more. Ward is the goods though, if he continues his path he is an ATG on the making!

            If they were to fight 10 times, how many times do you think Sven Ottke beats Andre Ward?

                Sorry, I missed the outside of Roy Jones part. I know you said name a fighter who could beat him but once I got started I hated to leave any of my favorites out. I am not sure all these guys beat Ward but in their prime I would favor them. I do think Ward is damn good and could still get better.

                  I think a prime Joe Calzaghe could edge him out.

                      overseas 10 out of 10, in a neutral place, never

                      ppl say Ward is protected but Ottke is the def. of that
