Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: The Goal is To Be Pound-For-Pound Number One

[Cinci Champ]

he is number 1 its just his inactivity at this point if he beats kovalev hes number 1 without a doubt and depending how he does it a ppv star most likely

[BodiesInFlight]

the only rub against him was his inactivity...before that started he was 2-3 on most peoples p4p list...I had him number 2 behind floyd after he beat froch, abraham and kessler back to back and it wasnt close....Manny was outboxed by JMM and knocked out by him in 2012 and it sealed it for me.

His skills are still intact and his resume is better than most active fighters today not named Pacquaio.....its not hard to see why

Personally im waiting on Ward/Kov

Chocolatito is #1 to me....his record, skills, and activity overtook ward....imo ward is a better all around fighter....he just needs to be more active

There were threads saying he's P4P#1 after the Paul Smith fight.

I have no problem with saying he has some of the best skills in the game, but to be the P4P best, that requires activity + resume + skill.

I agree with what Ward in essence is saying - that beating Kovalev will earn him the top spot. Saying anything before then is getting ahead of yourself imo.

The p4p title should belong to the winner of Ward-Kovalev.

he isnt getting ahead of himself, which is a good sign....its his die hard fans...personally he is in my top ten....leaving placement in the air until i see him in with an elite 175er


since floyd retired...imo...he is the best skillwise...dude can literally do it all...just one of those guys I'd watch regardless of who he fights just to watch what he does and how he adapts

Ward was always number 2 to Floyd. Now no Floyd. Due to layoff winner of Kovalev Ward will be pfp number 1. All due respect to chocolito but he doesn't have same quality opponents

... if it's "God willing", it will be very difficult...

[aboutfkntime]

Yeah Ward, too bad beating Paul Smith and Barrera ain't getting you there. It's Killa Kov time, enough with the tune ups.

I thought it was lil'G time ?

What happened to his bandwagon ?

Did you jump off, or.....

[bronx7]

GGG weak opponent list and clear ducking of Ward admitting he would fight Froch and bum Chavez at 168 but not Ward pushes him down behind Ward Kovalev and chocolito and maybe Canelo who fought Floyd at least

[bronx7]

Sanchez should just be GGG overrated trainer not his promoter. Wins against Froch , Chavez , Ward lol, would put him on equal A side with Canelo. Instead Canelo will leave belt and still make 10 mil a fight 80,000 arenas

[bronx7]

GGG will get belt by default and fight likes of lee , Saunders, Eubank for 3 mil a fight always being in canelos wards and kovalevs shadow
