If Andre Ward retired right now: HALL OF FAMER?

[FBLM]

NO, I am sorry and I got into a heated discussion with hunter over something like this and It basically went as 1 great win doesnt seal the deal for a career, you have to prove it over and over.

Ward a great talent, very great talent but why is he so satisfied with speculation talk, he should have had 3-6 great fights under his belt by now but all we know him for is for beating Carl Froch.

Carl Froch has a better resume and have beat better fighters than ward himself has to date.

[Divine Hammer]

heck no. ward is a complete punk.

[therealpugilist]

His resume with less than 30 fights is already better than fighters in and he is undefeated and def one of the best of his era.


He gets my vote

[BattlingNelson]

You all have legitimate arguments, but if you look at people in the hall of fame, those who said Ward isn't would reconsider. Like Carlos Monzon who basically said in Argentina and a beat of nobodies his whole career. Or Arturo Gatti, who although he put on great fights, was never that great of a fighter and I can go on.

[M Bison]

He said he would fight Mayweather at 160lbs but avoids GGG at 160lbs
He said he would fight at heavyweight by around this time and yet he's only went up 4lbs to 172lbs, so he's ducked GGG and Wladimir Klitschko and he has yet to fight Sergey Kovalev and Adonis Stevenson...
Hall of famer, I think not.

Some people clearly just talk about people they know nothing about but then again this thread is going to attract Andre Ward fans isn't it.

[therealpugilist]

heck no. ward is a complete punk.

with a better resume than fighters you probably big up....theyre all punks then considering Ward hasn't lost a fight since he started puberty and has a better resume than anyone fighting from 160-175


He has time to build on his resume....if He beats both Superman and Krusher at 175 he is a lock in my book

Dude, Monzon is arguably the greatest middleweight to ever lace em up.

[just the facts]

That's why hall membership is decided by what you did not what you said. Ducked ggg? I see where this fits your agenda, but it's simply not true.


While I think Ward can/will beat either ggg/Kovalev, still IMO, the answer is no. Just hasn't done enough to get there. But McGuigan, Tzuz, and Gatti are there?

[champion4ever]

Seriously? A former Olympic gold medalist and an undefeated two time Super middleweight champion. The answer is a definitive yes.
