If Ward beats all these guys...

[Dr. Morocco]

Top 30 All Time sure.

Top 20 at least. You can't mention 20 guys with a better resume if Ward does win all the mentioned fights.

[DreamerUSA]

No... The main part of your question was "if", and I don't believe any but maybe 2 of those fights occur. Ward is in his mid-thirties and does not compete enough to even be ranked in the top 100...

I was a fan of Wards but his lack of drive to compete in the sport is sad. He showed huge potential as the possible p4p future #1 but refuses to move up or down... Unlike many, Ward had the great privilege to unify the titles at SMW in such a short amount of time... Yet didn't do anything after besides making the champ above move down and hasn't done anything of relivance since..

Ward is just getting older with no big fight in what seems almost 5 years... Will we ever see a meaningful fight in his recent future? I doubt it!

Ward is 31 and has little to no wear and tear on his body. If he gets active, he has several prime years left in him.

Ward is 31 and has little to no wear and tear on his body. If he gets active, he has several prime years left in him.

IF he gets active. People have been saying the same thing for the past four years. IF Ward gets done with his court case, IF Ward signs a new contract with a top promoter, IF Ward gets back in the ring, IF Ward fights this guy or that guy...

The big word in all of that is IF. Unfortunately Ward doesn't seem to be too interested in actually doing anything. If not for Roc Nation settling his court case for him, he would still be locked up in various litigations and losing one after the other. He signed with Roc Nation and has basically done nothing since. He should have fought at least three times this year already but he has had one fight against a punching bag on legs.

I don't know if the problem is with Ward or with Roc Nation just being totally useless as a promoter, but someone better get moving or the boxing world will continue to pass Ward by and in the end every statement made about Ward and his career will always be preceded by 'IF ONLY'.

If Ward beats all these guys:
- Golovkin
- DeGale
- Jack
- Stevenson
- Kovalev

Will you then rank him as one of the best ever? He already got a respectable list of good victories. Froch, Kessler, Abraham, Dawson, Rodriguez, Bika and Miranda.

Bika was almost shot, Miranda was years past his physical best and Rodriguez does not count as respectable for a champion to be defending against lol

Ward beating the names you mentioned won't even make him a top 50 unless he smashes them to buts withing 5 rounds.

[jqSide]

You can't beat guys you don't want to fight. It's impossible.

Waste of time making threads about fights that will never happen.

[BOMB ZQUAD]

Of course Kovalev doesn't beat Ward, he is far too slow and clumpsy for that. I would love for the fight happen. But sadly, I don't think we will see Ward take such a fight, he has gotten lazy.

Kovalev doesn't only beat Ward, he makes Ward look pathetic. Ward won't be able to clinch Kovalev, nor does he have the power to keep Kovalev back.

Ward will never take a fight with Kovalev, he knows it's the end of his career if he goes down that path
