I will tell you that Zab Judah was better than Chad Dawson.

Also, this Mosely thing is comical. Mosely went into the fight with Floyd as the 3rd ranked boxer in the p4p rankings. Just because Floyd deaded that, don't mean that imma forget that.

Baldomir was the linear WW champion when Floyd beat him.

Diego Corrales, Marquez, Hatton, Castillo

Floyd's resume is better than those cats. It just is.
Judah coming off a L to Baldomir is not a better win than Dawson who just beat BHop and was #1 and lineal at 175:yeshrug:

Baldomir trash :hubie:

Ward beat Kessler, Abraham, Froch, Dawson, KKKovalev 2x. You can put those against Floyd's 6 best fights imo.

Floyd's resume is not that far ahead of Ward's and Floyd got 18 more fights than Andre

He'll be back with in 18 months brehs :mjlol:

He's a great boxer but there was only a handful of times i was actually impressed with his performances, before Kovalev II,last time i was :ehh: with him was the first 8 rounds of the Froch fight.

He has good skills though & most importantly always got the W in any form of fashion....something you don't get with boxers now days.

Chad Dawson? :gucci:

He lost that fight soon as he challenged him to a fight at 168lbs :mjlol:

He was getting dropped by jabs :mjlol:

Nobody dissed Mosley though, or any of Mayweather's other opponents (outside of Baldomir, that's a totally different situation). And Mayweather didn't even really "dead" anything; he was better than Mosley and showed it. I think he would've beaten Mosley years earlier, just like I think Floyd probably wins all of his fights with the guys he beat even if he had faced them at their best.... but he didn't. It's not about anybody not being good, it's about y'all conveniently using this "Hall of Fame" thing to dismiss other fighters (Ward in this case) as though he was facing these guys at their absolute peaks or primes or something when he wasn't.

And you may be able to argue Zab Judah at his best was better than Chad Dawson at his best (Zab's my favorite fighter but it's debatable). But Floyd was fighting Zab post the Kosta KO and the Baldomir loss. You can't argue "Don't mean imma forget that" in reference to Mosley being ranked #3 when he fought Floyd then try to downplay what Ward has done. It's not genuine.

u forreal? Go back and read my post again. Mosley was ranked #3 in the p4p rankings. It was a legitimate super fight and people were praising Mosely. After the fight it became, "Floyd fought Mosley too late," and "Shane was too old" etc. That is what I meant when I said he deaded that.

dude wrote "Ward>>>>>Floyd," so I am not going to accept what you said in these statements. I am not downplaying Ward at all. My post is about how great of a boxer Floyd was.

Boxing is the one sport you can't half-ass. You can die fukking around in that ring. Good on him for realizing that.

I think if GGG beats Canelo in the 2nd fight, there'll probably be a trilogy. If GGG wins the 3rd fight too, then Ward will come out of retirement to fight him at a catchweight. The hype would be there and it would be light work for Ward.

Otherwise he should just stay retired. People were speculating about him continuing to go up in weight.....man, fukk that.:pachaha:Stay healthy brehs

Always respected him. Along with mayweather, smartest boxer in the game. Loved how he eventually solved all his opponents. :salute: Great champion.
