        Very strong response! It is hard to argue with the way you broke this down. Good stuff!

          How many boxers have wins over ATGs in their resume? lol

          In previous threads, many posters on this site said they don't know if they could put Ward in the top 100 all time and would not put Ward in the HOF on the 1st ballot given Mayweather, RJJ and Klitschko will be eligible at the same time. Many others would put him in the top 100 all time, but even then generally not that far down the list.

          I think his standing in the sport is very well respected but tempered enough. I don't see him being overrated.

            Ward's resume is NOT overrated

            To answer your question, Joshua/Fury beat Wlad who is an ATG

              I think his skills are more overrated than his resume. I don't see this master boxer bull**** that a lot of dudes yap about. This is coming from someone that grew up watching Whitaker. Ward doesn't come close as far as skills.

                This right here..
                Dude finds a way to win which is a skill in itself but I also don't see anything special when I watch him fight. He throws one punch at a time then grabs and holds, he's not the fastest or the most powerful.. He's just overall solid like a guy who bats .300 with 20 hr and 80 rbi. Those numbers will get you in the hall over a career but you won't win any awards during the season.

                  lol how is this not really? you either beat the champ or there wasnt a champ and you beat the 1st or 2nd rated fighter. You cannot become lineal champ by beating nobody

                      There are a lot of *'s on his opponents and the fact he cried so hard about moving up taints his body of work.

                      Dawson came down in weight, three fighters have done that in history (to win a title).

                      Abraham was an overblown middleweight.

                      Green was damaged goods.

                      Bika loses to everybody.

                      Froch is B-Level.

                      Kovaquit never fought anybody but an old man Hopkins who was bound to lose to youth eventually and a blown up Pascal that got run straight out of 168.

                      Kesser and Rodriguez would have been good wins if Ward didn't fight so dirty.

                      He did it to himself --- now he pays.
