Did manny take wards spot

[IronDanHamza]

Bottom line, Pac needs to beat convincingly beat JMM to be #2. How can a guy be #2 p4p when he's trying for a 5th time to beat a 40 year old fighter. just can't justify it

Well that 40 year old isn't too bad really is he.

He's better than anyone Ward has beaten in his entire career let alone in recent years.

Glad someone else sees it.

Pretty much this. Once Ward is inactive for a year I will remove him from number 2, but right now he is clearly ahead of Manny at #2.

Ward fought Froch, Dawson at 175, and La Bomba. Thats 1 tough fight, a decent one, and a rios type of fight.

The Dawson fight was at 168, a weight Dawson had not fought at since 2006.

He was inactive for over a year between Dawson and Rodriguez.

So I'm assuming you removed him from #2 then? So beating Rodriguez was enough to put him back to #2?

Ward has had 2 fights since 2011. One against Dawson's corpse and one against Edwin Rodriguez.

How on this Planet can that justify someone to be P4P #2?

What about if Ward signs to fight another bum for his next fight? Does he stay #2?

Okay, so then why isn't JMM #2 p4p? he certainly has a better claim than pac.

5 fights in last 3 years (6 one next month) and beat pac 2 times in that span

He was P4P #2 on my list until he lost to Bradley.

That naturally knocked him down a few spots, Bradley took his place and Pacquaio just beat him on the weekend.

All of these guys have wins recently to put them ahead of Ward.

Right. brain fart there. 168 hence me calling it a decent win not a good one.

He's my favorite fighter, but screw that.

I can't see how it's possible to have Ward that high.

Yeah, he did a lot of good work between 09-11 but we're almost half way though 2014.

Pacquaio didn't look good to me on Saturday but his performance is more than enough to have him ahead of Ward.

It's hard for me to rank Ward P4P at all in all honesty.

Good fighter yes but what, should he keep his P4P spot forever on what he did 3 years ago? Surely you need to keep beating top level guys to maintain a P4P spot.

Dominate the #3 PFP fighter in the world at the age of 35 with 60+ fights, but doesn't look good.


gtfoh.

So you think JMM won Pac III but Pac lost Bradley I? Hmmmmmm

Yea Ward was fighting a corpse that night, it kinda reminded me of De la Hoya vs Pacquiao, just dead at the weight.
