Andre Ward Similar to Roy jones?

Tarver's comments last night comparing Andre Ward to Roy Jones and saying that Ward is fighting better competition was one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard a boxing commentator say.

So Allan Green is a better fighter than James Toney ?!

Hell I'd go as far as to say that Thomas Tate and Merqui Sosa were better fighters than Allan Green.

Roy Jones Jr. took both men out in 2 rounds.

Andre Ward is a nice kid and a very good fighter, but he is NOWHERE NEAR the fighter Roy Jones Jr. was in his prime.

Lets not forget Roy Jones Jr. hardly ever lost a round and was P4P the best for a decade.

Andre Ward was dropped by Darnell Boone...

well to be fair roy hadnt faced toney yet. This was Ward's 22nd fight, jones 22 fight was against BHOP. So in that regard hell no he hasn't faced better comp. But those guys you named Jones faced them after his 22nd fight.

Ward has beaten Kessler who still isn't better than any version of BHOP, but he did face him earlier than Jones faced BHOP.

I wasn't going by fights, I was going by Jones at Middleweight and specifically Super Middleweight.

Though he may have fought Tate at LH.

Can't recall for sure.

Even Jorge Fernando Castro was tougher and a better fighter than nearly everyone on Ward's resume.

And Jones fought him very early on.

Same with Sugar Boy Malinga.
