Do you guys think Andre Ward will still be awesome at 36-37 like Mayweather, Marquez?

    I'm not even sure he'll fight between now and then.

        To answer the question, without a doubt. The man is very gifted in the fact he his a great technician and fights to get out the same way he comes in. His set of skills are ment for longevity, His respect for his body is great and he is very skilled period. Depending on how he looks coming back from a year+ off it will be interesting how he performs, if all goes as most expect and he looks good. I would say a move up to 175 would look very interesting right now.
        I would pay big money to see Kovalev shatter Wards glass chin

            And on top of all that, he is BORING and can't sell out an oakland bingo hall. He's retired BTW
            DAwson called out ward btw at that weight too

              Definitely possible, he'll probably move up by then. That's why he hasn't moved up yet, he's waiting to outgrow SMW. With his style he rarely gets hit, he's had a long break from boxing keeping his body in good condition. He's levels ahead practically everyone out there.

                Seriously??? So I guess dominating the Super 6 was irrelevant

                  Unless he gets chinned by someone I think so. We have to see how he looks after this lay-off first, but he certainly has the talent.

                    Modern fighters definitely have an edge in that they don't fight very often and don't take much abuse. Ward hasn't fought in over a year and never fought that often and does stay in great shape. He should be fine but I am not sold that he is so interested in actually boxing. I think he likes his commentary gig which is another endorsement that he is a smart businessman.

                      if he stays in the gym and the level of quality opponents decreases then it's very possible, he has the style and boxing IQ.
