    Ward is being given the #1/2 because of his talent, which is absolute bull**** really. I have no doubt that if he fought guys like say Pascal, or Froch or GGG this year that he'd win so I don't think his talent dropped by any means, but at the end of the day he never fought anyone.
    Yes, yet still Max Kellerman and others rate him P4P #1.

      I think it's malpractice.

      If we're going to ranked somone based on talent alone and not factor in his competition (relative to his division), then Pacquiao and Guillermo Rigondeaux should be in the top 3 in practically every P4P list.

        Ward is like a disease you just can't get rid of. It's sad you make 2-3 threads a day about him. Just let it go man, no matter how much you hate him he is still considered one of the best fighters out there. You can't do enough crying to change that.

          Actually, I've been enjoying a good laugh at Ward this week!

                According to Dan Rafael nothing has been signed yet. There is a verbal agreement for Ward to fight 2 slobs and then Kov, but Ward hasnt been able to find a pen it seems........

                  Well if we are being fair and just mention all top 10 P4P fighters right now it's:

                  Roman Gonzalez: Valentin Leon 38-29-3 17 losses by KO

                  If we are not being fair here, and we are just singling out fighters or trying to isolate a fighter by comparing him with other top 10 P4P fighters of your choosing that fought relatively better opposition this year, to give voters an easy pick; Then just make a thread stating: Andre Ward has fought/will fight some of the weakest opposition this year. Because this thread is literally beating around the bush. Like I can actually see you around a bush with a "I hate Andre Ward" t-shirt right now if I look out my window.

                    Idk why the poll is limiting this to just Kov, GGG & Ward. Of all the top 10 P4P guys I think Ward's resume this year has been the weakest & I'm not sure there is even an argument to be made otherwise so a poll here seems odd at best, agenda driven at worst.

                      I don't understand why anyone would defend a prima donna like Ward.

                      People have been very critical of other boxers opposition, especially Golovkin.
