    Your amount of fans does not determine if you're a legend or not. Look at Golovkin. Many fans, but just a better-than-average slugger.

        Bro, Ward is not a legend by any definition. He'll be remembered as an exceptional boxer, but that's it. You're going to put him alongside true legends like Robinson, Armstrong and Ali? C'mon.

          nah he was a fraud. i have seen his fights. they def were not on the level. he wouldnt have to cheat so blatantly and obviously if he were a great boxer. just a decent boxer with powerful friends. nothing to remember unless as a cautionary tale

            Why the fawk are mentioning Robinson and Armstrong along with Ali? Ward has a better resume than those guys had.

              Because all three are legends. Ward is not, nor will he ever be (now), a legend. Better resume? lmao What are you smoking? Legends are made by several factors -- resume, impact on the sport, name recognition, etc. Ability and a few credentials don't necessarily make a legend. Ward won't be remembered by anyone outside hardcore fans in a few years.

                Well... I'm very certain that Kovalev will have nightmares about Ward until his death. Ward took his manlyhood away.

                Kovalev acted all racist, then starts kissing up to Ward while Ward ignores him, he then talks **** but Ward makes a mafia boss put him in his place and when they fight, Ward looked like a powerpuncher in beating Kovalev twice. Kovalev is a broken man inside now.

                  Ok...how does all that make Ward a legend?

                  I don't doubt that Andre could've become a legend, but he simply retired way too early. His choice...and not a bad one, if you ask me.
