Andre Ward- better than Floyd Mayweather?

[TitoFan]

While Andre Ward is a nice guy, and probably the "anti-Floyd".... one thing is to like the guy and quite another is to make outlandish comparisons. Enough has been posted about each guy's records. Suffice it to say that Floyd has been facing (and defeating) household names a hell of a lot longer than Ward has. Mention Floyd's name to anyone in the street and you'll either get a look of amazement or a look of disgust. But either way he'll be instantly recognized. Mention Ward's name to anyone but a true boxing fan, and you'll probably get a blank stare. Maybe that very same nice guy personality, coupled with that bland boxing style of his, have kept him from having more name recognition.

Is he "better than Floyd"? Pound-for-pound? Wishful thinking from Floyd haters would say yes. But love him or hate him, Floyd has boxing skills that Ward will never achieve. Let Ward continue his achievements.... and then later we can look back and make the comparison again. Right now it's not even close.

Give Ward 3-5 years then we may be the new Mayweather and best p4p fighter.

Give Ward 3-5 years and he might even fight again!

I happen to think Ward is a better technician than Floyd... he engages the fight the way I like to see.

He's not a pot-shotter, but he does control the fight more than Floyd does and attacks more effectively.

If Ward had a Castillo, I believe no question Ward would have won better than Floyd did the first and second time.

He has a ways to go to match Money. The Ward story has yet to be told.
