Comments Thread For: Roy Jones: Andre Ward's Place in Boxing History is Near The Top

[Edward90]

I rate Ward very highly. There isn't anyone at 168 or 175 who would just smoke him. He would be tough for anyone to beat at those weights and could possibly rise to the top. Calzaghe wouldn't beat him. I'm not even going to debate that...

Not even close. Remember Ward won his fame in a historical CATCHWEIGHT. SMW is not a real weight class. If he cleaned house at MW and then jumped to LHW he might be special but he needed to run the table in both weight classes. He's a fraud. The real P4P jumped a weight class or two. Ward didnt do sh it.

I'm a big fan of Ward and I rate him highly, however, I have a hard time putting him at or near the top. It seems like there's a lot more left to accomplish in his career. I think a win over Stevenson would've been a significant win. He never seemed interested in that fight but on the other hand neither did Stevenson. Either way, the guy is a winner and a great champion, but even comparing him to Roy Jones in his prime. There's no comparison when it comes to how each was revered as a champion and as a superstar.

Roy Jones' statement is bizarre as hell...

How could a guy's place be close to the top when he got dropped and lost the first fight against Kovalev who everyone on this site says is nothing special...

Ward's biggest wins are against Froch and Kessler... the second fight with Kova was controversial and he ended the fight with a low-blow - the most unimpressive "TKO" I've ever seen.

Joe Calzaghe fought Kessler at the end of his career when Kessler was undefeated and schooled him and hurt him to the body without using the dirty tactics that Ward deployed...

Calzaghe is above Ward period - so if Ward is one of the GOATs, then Calazaghe is what? Next to Ali?

BRAVO. Good for you. And Wards claim to fame is an original CATCHWEIGHT. No such thing as SMW when boxers were men and not Divas.

Calzaghe liked to go skiing, before and after fights. (Snorted lots of dust) and somewhat tarnished what could of been one hell of a legacy. No wonder he could pump out 200 punches per round at that weight class= cocain
Not to mention he hid over in the U.K. and waited for Roy and B-hop to get old before he garnered the courage to fight them.

Dumb ass remark. Prove it.

Ward is undefeated. 2 - 0 vs Kovalev.
For a fighter with average punching power he rocked Krusher and made him quit in the second fight

He's a cheater.

[Thraxox]

Ward is in the lower echelon. Bradley is greater than him even.

[Lou Cipher]

Yeah he's near the top......of the list of reasons the sport is virtually unwatchable anymore.

[bronx7]

He was boring unwatchable but you made Floyd the most boring the biggest ever hypocrites fake fans you don't love the science watch cavemen trade bombs wow
