Andre Ward

Win, lose or draw this weekend, I'm still going to be an Andre Ward fan. I'm going to start up a topic and add a post to it whenever I see an article or video I like about Ward.

Here's the first about his trainer Virgil Hunter and prepping for Allan Green:

Ward's reflections on the Green fight:

Ward has the potential to be the best fighter P4P in the world.

Beating Miranda, Kessler, and Green is a good start.
If he were to win his next 4 fights: Dirrell, semi-finals, finals, and then a showdown with Bute, within the next 18 months, it would be hard for him not to be named the best fighter on the planet. That is alot to ask, but he very well may be able to do it. He has that ability to adapt. Agaiinst a guy who runs like Dirrell, he will cut off the ring. He mauled Green to prevent him from getting started.

I already view Ward as one of the five best boxers in the world.

I see him as a top 5 fighter in the world as well. I'm not so sure all boxing writers feel the same or the boxing freaks. If he continues on the path he has going he will be there by the end of 2011.

Floyd,Manny,Dawson,Ward and Martinez are my top five.

Of course everyone is subjective when it comes to these lists, Dan Rafael has Andre Dirrell in his pound for pound.

top 5 as of now..why not.ill agree.

Ward is a credit to USA boxing and the sport as a whole.
