I admire Ward more than like him.

Black is correct here. Exactly that.

Ward is legit. I understand where everyone comes from w their own individual (dis)taste for him, but I think he's legit.

[and the NEW]

Yeah, he is a crafty technician, there is absolutely no doubt about that. He made slight adjustments in the second fight to his stance, which while it allowed Kov to land the jab more, def took away his right hand, which is his weapon! Masterful!

Best active fighter in the sport today. A complete douche nozzle, but that's usually part and parcel for great fighters anyway.

[and the NEW]

Man, I'm not sure who the best active fighter is in the sport at the moment, the caliber is absolutely insane.

You have guys like Ward, Crawford, Lomachenko, Rigondeaux and Roman Gonzalez. Who is the best of that bunch? It's a matter of preference I think. And I think Mikey Garcia and Errol Spence will put themselves near the top of the pound for pound lists in the near future as well. The talent at the moment is truly dazzling.

[ViperSniper]

Well there is definitely a great amount of talent and in regards to who has the most skills or talent..there's aguments..but in regards to who the #1 best fighter in the world is, it's Andre Ward! Noone has the wins or resume out of the lot. Ward really cops it from everyone which is a shame because the guy is a boxers boxer!

[and the NEW]

Yeah, he has the wins and resume above everyone, except for Chocolatito IMO, who has been way more active over those years that Ward spent on the shelf, and beating the best that entire time, including some great names!

Prime Ward vs prime Calzaghe? Arguably the two best 168'ers in history (with apologies to Roy and his brief 168 stop off)



Black

[and the NEW]

Give me Ward in a boring fight. Both crafty guys, neither explosive nor entertaining!
