    Ward's an elite boxer and that's regardless of the rating I'd give him. Him not being the biggest puncher coupled with his propensity to look for the clinch could drop him down to an A but there are aspects of his game that have been A+ undoubtedly.

    His upcoming bout with Kovalev will be interesting. If Ward can weather Sergei's shots then he has the skill and intelligence to be able to make Kovalev look clumsy.

      B+.....but he might end up a C after Kovalev is finished with him.

        After Kovalev wins UD, Ward will either fight a few bums and retire or ask for a rematch

          A+ elite fighter,,,,, don't really know how you can argue against it.. Only knock against Ward is inactivity and really nothing to do with his actual skills

              Ward was an A+ guy, not sure if he's still there but he has been great at his peak.

                Lol the guy is a top P4P talent.

                He just needs to be more active.

                    I would give him the highest possible rating.I think he is one of the 6 or 7 best fighters fighting today. Exactly where he ranks among the top 7 for me depends on how he does against Kovalev. His opposition has been so soft the last 4 years that it's hard for me to know exactly how good he is today. He is damn good for sure.

                      B- for me, not fought a live body in years and his CV in general is overrated. Loses points for refusing to fight out of oakland where the refs give him every advantage
