    Ward would kick his ass
    There's no justification for saying that.

    Usyk achieved more than Ward as an amateur and, in just 15 pro fights, he accomplished something Ward could never do - beat every champion and win every title belt in an entire division.

      I agree with this post.

          Didn't Ward win that whole supermiddle tournament? I didn't see many who were dis*****g Ward was THE man at 168.

          Accomplishment wise, I'd say at this point of Usyk's career, Ward is more accomplished. Usyk does have a chance to match or surpass him, however.

            Ward never won the IBF title at 168. Lucian Bute was the IBF champion and he didn't enter the super 6 series. Ward turned down 2 offers to unify with Bute.

            Bute was undefeated at that time with 8 or 9 successful defences. Many people thought Bute, not Ward, was the best SMW in the world, which is why he was a red hot favourite to beat Froch when they fought in 2012.

              Anybody saying Ward would beat Usyk really need to watch their fights again. Please some of you need to start using some common sense.

                I like Ward and everything but even I know he won't fight Usyk coming back from retirement. The size difference would be too much, and Usyk is also skilled.

                  I don't think you realize how much bigger Usyk is

                    yeap, he is.
                    He needs a referee, 3 judges and to be able to bite Usyk in the balls and get praised for it.

                      Who are the "many people" that thought Bute was better than Ward?...Bute needed help from the referee when Andrade knocked his ass out!...
