    Andre Ward was a two-weight kingpin, unblemished as a boxer from when he was 13 years of age, an Olympic gold medalist, and he leaves out standing on a pretty good resume.

    He should be in the top 100 fairly easily, but he likely doesn't have the longevity to get into the top 20.

      I've never made a top 100 so it's difficult to say but I could see maybe gettin gin at 90 something. NO higher than that really.

        Yeah, you're definitely not a boxing historian.

          He does but he's on the lower end for me. I have a real problem with the sample size for his fights. Not having some like Stevenson or even a B-Hop when he was active doesn't help his case. I know he said he would never fight B-Hop but if he did around the time of Dawson and Pascal it would have been a significant win.

            So, we both have him in the top 100 but you're outraged that I might see top 50. Lol. You are such an angry little clown.

              Absolutely. Comfortably ahead of guys like James Toney, Joe Calzaghe, etc.

                His resume isnt very deep imo but he did beat the top dogs in 2 divisions..so imo if he is top 100 id have to put him on the lower end due to his lacking resume

                  first off...who gives a ****...really. is it even worth talking about guy in the context of goat when he's on the back half of a top 100 list. second...most if not all of us haven't seen enough fighters and their careers throughout history to even have an educated opinion on the matter. what can be said is he's one of the best of this era.

                    Ward has done nothing In the sport of boxing when compared to Pacquiao. If he has, break down his career and justify Ward and Pacquiao being placed equally.
