Is wards CV really that great? lets have a look...

Wards entire career is built on beating Froch and to a lesser extent Kessler, including the desperation of HBO to build a new star and they thought they had one, so they labeled him as having "cleared out 168". Then they said he was great.
Then Ward wasted HBOs time and money and the last 4 years have been the worst kind of sporting progression.

There seems to be a lot of people on here who see andre ward as a p4p top fighter, even with his recent inactivity over the last years, based on strength of his CV and past exploits. But is his opposition really that good?
Brand- old man coming up to 40 who was 168 pounder, took ward the distance
Barrera- old unproven cuban, a nobody really, took ward the distance
Smith- limited UK domestic level fighter, groves demolished him in 2, ward took 9 rounds
Rodriguez- another nobody who ward couldnt finish off
Dawson-pascal beat him fairly easy before dawson fought ward, stevenson put him away in 1 round, it took ward 10. Not a great fighter at all tbh, karpency beat him later too
Froch- wards best win and a good name on the record, although close fought, 115-113 on two cards. Plus froch not too hard to outbox, andre dirrell and jermain taylor both managed it for large chunks of the fight
Abraham- big stiff classical european plodder, lost every round to froch
Bika- a walking human punchbag who can take a good shot
Green- useless, completely useless, took ward the distance. 70 year old Glen johnson coming into ring with a zimmerframe managed to put green away inside the distance. one of the worst fights of all time
Kessler- technical decision, stopped on cuts due to wards headbutting. Frequent head butts throughout the fight. A good but not amazing fighter who calzaghe beat fairly comfortably (117-111 on one card as hbo scored it too)
Miranda- limited fighter with a big shot and not much else, bute put him away, pavlik put him away, he took ward the distance
Am i being harsh or is wards CV really not that impressive? Discuss...
You're the same idiot who believes Wilder had surgery to avoid fighting Povetkin. That speaks for itself about your credibility.Comment

if you want to break down resumes, I asked him what was his opinion on GGG's...whats the harm in that.
I like it because its obvious there is a double standard. He doesnt care who GGG fights because he wants him to win and say " look how great he is". even if its tomoto cans...its not rocket scienceComment

bro a known GGG fanatic made a thread "critiquing" andre wards opposition........its not calculus....basically he is saying that Wards resume is overrated, thats cool. everyone is titled to an opinion, just would like to know what he thinks of GGG's resume for a supposed top 3 p4p guy...imo its laughable and guys that recieve no hype like danny garcia makes his look like a joke

he likes the canned food diet " Any Can, Can get it !!!!!!"
34 years old...only fought for 1 title in the ring......only beat 3 former champions in 35 fights......danny garcia, bud, khan, bradley, ward, kov, stevenson, estrada, gonzalez, etc, over a dozen fighters have been in tougher and still have majority wins. Beat more champs and titlist and won their belts in the ring

its funny watching damage control patrol the forum like ****roaches waiting on a crumb to hit the floor.
didnt know their was a such thing as a certified internet psychologist....sit your simple azz down......only ones mad are the ggg fans....canelo is fighting a worthy opponent...ward has kovalev lined up....what do they have? Another few weeks/months to play damage control for GGG fighting a career welterweight
when that fight is over....like I said after the Wade fight, he'll fight a no hoper...check...he is fighting a welterweight......after he beats Brook......he'll be fighting a "mandatory" aka someone we have to google
keep fighting the good fight bro...i'll be enjoying watching and following the fighters who've actually taken a riskComment
