Is Andre Ward in many ways a poor man's Floyd Mayweather Jr

[daggum]

cmon geez does still hurt that much kov can come back and now that wards gone he might even make it back to #1 although I kinda doubt it

sorry i meant ward was a lil floyd, a lil toney, a lot golota, a lot john ruiz, and who was a notorious head butter? holyfield i guess? also who was known for getting gift decisions? help me out here. no it doesnt hurt me pointing out ward is a cheater why would it? it hurt kovalev im sure. in the balls

[daggum]

Nope!

Like others said with the Hopkins mention!

Ward is though, one of the greatest 168 fighters of all time and one of the best 175 guys of generations!

Loved his WILL to win and never say die attitude!

He would give every fighter in history at 168 and 175 a tough time win,lose or draw!

aka the "im going to cheat nonstop and get away with it because im always the hometown fighter and no one will stop me" attitude

yea def at 168 might be best at 175 too bad he did not fight a couple more

mayweather better fighter

ward has to make up for lack of athleticism by smothering

And head butting, and punching below the belt, and always having home town refs who allowed him to get away with his blatent cheating.

i dont care about winning and losing. he was cheating and won fights with illegal punches. thats bad no matter who it happens to right?

[john l]

did not think he was cheating or anything close but I can see we are far away on this point so lets just agree to disagree cool

What category does illegal punches fall in punch stat numbers?

Because if the punches are illegal they wouldn't count right?

He fought Froch in Atlantic city and Kov in Vegas twice, neither were in Oakland!

Give just due, Ward was too much man for most guys!

To beat a guy like WARD you'd have fight a near perfect BOXING match by being either bigger, longer reach, solid hard jab, power, good timing and stamina with ring IQ...which Kov showed in the first fight!

In the second match it showed that fighting a perfect won't always be enough, you have to be adaptable!

Ward is a chameleon man and every opponent he faced didn't have as many dimensions as he did!
