Ward struggled because of Kovalev's strenght, nothing to do with skill. And let me remind you that he won both fights. Ward clearly outclassed Kovalev in the second fight.
And again, I agree that DelaHoya should be ranked higher when it comes to ATGs, I'm talking pure skill here. So until someone can show me in which areas DelaHoya is more skilled than Ward there really is no point arguing.
Especially when you consider all the times Oscar "struggled"...
The thing is Ward woulda to move up to CW and fight Trinidad, Hopkins and Mosley caliber fighters, then we would have compare how those skills are great.
De La Hoya was more dominant and better IMO at 130,135 than Ward was at 168.
Despite the context, DLH wins over Chavez sr, Pernell and Camacho are better IMO than Ward's win over Kitty Kov, Croch and Kessler.
I can't argue against this. Ward should've stayed at 160 or 168 to fight better names. Oscar does have the superior resume.
