Has Andre Ward ever been in a top 5 fight of the year?

[Prince Madison]

he usually outclasses his opponents, the dawson fight was very exciting, hes been in some good fights as well, why do u ask?

Was it? Has he?

[BoxingFan85]

None besides Kovalev and that was probably the 5th best fight of the year.

This ^^^

Compared to:
Thurman-Porter
Frampton-Cruz
Siri-Vargas
Whyte-Chisora

the ward-kov Fight was probably 5th

[boliodogs]

No. He holds, clinches and wrestles too much to be in a fight of the year.

We have very different definitions of what a good fight is. I'd put Glowacki vs Usyk over any of these fights.

Why is this relevant?

It isn't....they just need a hate fix.

[uppercut510]

Was it? Has he?

yes, he beat the hell out of dawson and I learned a few tricks from that fight that I used in sparring until this day...im a boxing fan and I find boxing very interesting and learn particular things from particular fighters, its exciting to me. maybe ward isn't your cup of tea. that's okay as well but let me be. ur just a fan of particular fighters, im a fan of the sport and don't waste all my life tearing down those who have styles I don't like much because I understand how hard It is to even be a C level fighter in such a sport.

Exactly. A shame really

Glowacki vs Usyk is a good fight indeed but Lebedev vs Gassiev was better than that..

[New England]

the inferiority complex is for real! your vag is clearly going to stay bleeding for f#cking years.


i heard a lot of intelligent boxing people giving a sound evaluation of how "good" the kovalev fight was. the two best fighters of the same size fought in or around their primes. there were swings in momentum, a knockdown, controversial, razor thin scoring. the building was insane. i was there.

i have no issues with somebody calling it one of the best fights of the year in that regard. ward's fought the [other] best fighter in his division several times. froch and kessler weren't good enough to make a fight of it. not worth complaining about it and acting like that is ward's fault. they didn't have boxing skills, punching power, or a jab like kovalev's, and never got going.


think of floyd's best fight as a WW, maidana 1. why was that such an amazing fight? because floyd was such a great boxer, or because maidana knew how to manipulate space and make him uncomfortable and force him to fight?
