Andre Wards "resume" is so criminally overrated. Has he beaten ANYBODY at 168 who wasn't a slow, plodding, flat-footed, bar room brawling caveman? Besides Kessler. Seriously. Froch, Bika, Abraham, etc, all fight like straight up no-skilled cavemen.
IF people keep saying Kovalev and Golovkin haven't fought a boxer like Ward..... why don't people ask if Wards fought someone with the complete skillset like Kovalev/Golovkin? All the guys he beat have the attributes I just mentioned above and none of them are as skilled and as well-rounded fighters as Kovalev/Golovkin.
Kessler is the only guy (not gonna mention Dawson) Ward has beat who didn't fight like a blind caveman. And lets be honest here, Golovkin and Kovalev would decimate, spray and neuter Mikkel Kessler. Am I the only one who thinks Wards resume is criminally overrated? The reason people have him as P4P #2 is because of his magical 168lb resume.... But the truth is all the guys he beat at 168 were very overrated and he only gets the P4P status for cleaning out the division, regardless of the skill level of the opponents. If that's the case.... why don't hypocritical posters on here give Golovkin P4P credit, for example, for defeating top fighters in his division? he basically cleaned his division out by default, the so called "top fighters' at 160 blatantly ducked him.... and the ones he did beat who were top 5 in the divison, he gets no credit for . (Geale: Top 5. Macklin: Top 10)
Shouldn't Geale/Macklin = Kessler/Abraham? The latter are overrated, the former aren't very good according to Golovkin haters..... yet all were unquestionably top fighters in the divison. So what's the difference?
I believe Andre Ward is a great fighter. He beats anybody at 175 and under except Sergey Kovalev and Gennady Golovkin. But the hypocrisy in regards to Ward/Golovkin(Kovalev) on here is astounding.
What gives?
