Bellew was starching top 10 guys at cruiser & beating up Usyk. Vlasov also had a lot of success, neither man was anywhere close to elite at LHW or in the class of Ward or any of these guys. Idk where cruiser gets this rep from, its a weak to average division. If I had to rank 160-HW I'd put it as HW-175-CW-168-160
prime andre ward stops entire eastern bloc of LHW and cruisers

I like Ward a lot. I don't rate many of these other Eastern Euros, except Usyk and Kovalev. I don't see Ward beating Usyk at cruiser, never, not a chance.Comment

I think Ward was very overrated and the dirtiest fighter and worst fighter to watch of them all. He lead with a grab more often than a jab. If you got within grabbing range he would grab you and wrestle and maul you. Illegally hold you with one hand while pounding away with the other. Add to that headbutts and elbows and you have a dirty boxing mma fighter called Ward. All his opponents called him a dirty fighter because he was. He fought over 90% of his fights near his home where the refs gave him special treatment and let him fight dirty. He turned his fights into wrestling mauling messes and was terrible to watch for many boxing fans. He did not have many fights and retired at a young age. Nothing wrong with retiring young but don't try to say he would dominate the current excellent light heavyweights we have today because he wouldn't. I hope he comes back and tries to do that.Comment

He could beat Bivol and Gvoz with rough housing and extra elbows like Beterbiev was...er....DOES USE!!! Ward and Beter man would be the dirtiest fight at LHW ever!! Ward could not take those power shots for 12 rds IMHO.
Two dream fights that never even happened were Adonis vs. Kovalev and Adonis vs Ward. THOSE would have been epic!!!Comment
