If Andre Ward retired today, should he get inducted into the HOF?

[-MAKAVELLI-]

any other fighters with less than 30 fights get in? im curious

WARD beat the man who was condsidered pound for pound one of the best fighters at the time, (Dawson)

no one considered dawson to be p4p when ward fought him

[KingTito]

Well considering some of the fighters that have made, it, I'd say yes. It's hard to say though. One or two big wins against say Golovkin, one of the LHWs and/or even a Froch rematch puts him in for sure. I imagine when his career is over he'll be more or less a lock.

[BattlingNelson]

Dirrell was a novice who hadn't beaten anyone and he has only beaten Abraham who isn't very good, Froch was a favourite and he didn't win convincingly, I don't see how that counts for anything.

Groves is a crappy fighter, and people only rate that win because Froch struggled so badly, that's a paradox.

Abraham is another crappy fighter and Taylor was done.

None of these wins have much value if you are talking 'history' or 'legacy', just simply overhyping names. Neither have done that much in that respect, but Ward holds a definitive win over Froch, it's not hard to work out.

In other words you are saying Froch is sjiit. Since Froch is Ward's best win, Ward must be far away from the HOF in your opinion.

Nope. Spinks and Tszyu have the least.

yea...i couldnt think of any either

[M Bison]

Worse fighters have been inducted in so I guess by that measure he would.

This one here made my day...

(I don't use to say anything about Ward anymore, but when I hear again about Sad Chad I can't help myself...)

[MrRolltide91]

I really don't know

I have repeatedly said Andre Ward is not a great fighter and never will be. His two best wins are Froch and Kessler, and I don't particularly rate them.
