Andre Ward is not just an olympic gold medalist and a fighter who haven't lost since he was 12, but he's also a proven world champion and got one of the best resumes in modern boxing.
1: Carl Froch
Froch is a guy with everything from good size, respectable power, a legendary chin and great stamina. Froch's victories includes guys like Kessler, Bute, Pascal, Abraham, Groves, Taylor, etc. In other words, Froch is a proven elite warrior. Froch has always had a stylistical problem with fast-handed opponents, which could be seen in his fights against Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell, Groves and Ward. The stylistical advantage shouldn't take anything away from this win, though. This was a great win and only an idiot would think otherwise.
2: Mikkel Kessler
Kessler only ever lost to 3 elite fighters: Ward, Calzaghe and Froch, who he went 1-1 against. Besides that, Kessler has proven to be a dangerous mix of good size, extreme power and good skills, even better basic skills than the ones of Froch, but just with less ability to adept. He has defeated some good opponents, with Froch being his best win, and no one can deny that this was a true quality win for Ward.
3: I could go on and on with quality names like Abraham, Bika, Rodriquez, Barrera, etc., but the point is, Ward's resume is full of good wins.
