Andre Ward would be a legit threat to Usyk...

[kafkod]

Ward is in another stratosphere skillwise. Inside-outside and midrange game, he has it all. He is so much more skilled than Usyk.

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.

Ward had trouble with Kovalev. Usyk is 32lbs bigger & 3x better than Kov probably. Ward is only beating Usyk in his dreams. I don't think it'd even be a good move for him to comeback to fight Usyk. I like his chances vs Wilder or Joshua more than Usyk cuz he could outslick Wilder or Joshua. He's not outslicking Usyk.

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.

[BrometheusBob.]

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

[eco1]

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

F coWard.

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