What was it that made Andre Ward so great?

[bigbadbossup2012]

That nikka ducked Adonis Stephenson for years. I guess everyone forgot about that. I don’t blame him tho...Adonis could bang and would have slept him. Woulda been a bad matchup for him

He
Beat the dude Adonis was ducking, twice.
You gon have to do better than that.

This is nonsense. Ward won the super six tournament, which was about as unsafe a route a young boxer could have taken at the time.

Exactly
I watched this whole shyt, how was that "easy", nikkas hating

He was a very intelligent fighter really. Not overly fast or powerful, he just knew how to fight.

Styles make fights fam we all know this. Adonis was a bad matchup. He woulda stopped Ward. SOG already knew this...why else would he bypass Adonis for years when the general public was clamoring for it. He didn’t want it

We don't know what would have happened. But what we do know is that if Andre was a scary ass nikka, that KRUSHER fight amongst a bunch of other fights wouldn't have happened. His career says the exact opposite of that bullshyt y'all talking. Ward put it down in this boxing shyt better than most.

he stayed way out or way in. when he stayed way out, you werent in range to punch and he built a fence around himself with a steady jab. when he got way in, you couldnt get extension on your punches, and he was strong enough to tie you up if you did. he didnt let you fight him on the outside. he didnt let you fight him on the inside. he didnt let you fight.

We'll never know the outcome, but I disagree.

I feel Adonis' name blew up bigger than Andre's and it swayed peoples perception.

But really, who's Stevenson's best opponent?

Kovalev and Ward were doing all the dirt work.

Just watched this last night and yep

 

[seemorecizzy]

andonis wasnt beating no andre ward lol

 

[krackdagawd]

andonis wasnt beating no andre ward lol

a guy with power in 1 hand isn't beating Andre Ward. Ward would have took him deep and sunk him

I never understood why he wasn't loved as much as Mayweather.

Both Black. Both undefeated. What happened?

It’s not that simple breh lol. Mayweather stepped up and marketed himself plus hooked up with Haymon. If he would’ve stayed with Arum May never gets the love he gets now either. Money isn’t loved because he’s undefeated, it’s because he put himself out there and Ward really didn’t.

 

[Max Power]

Exceptional speed, timing, skills and IQ.

While he was never a huge puncher, he was usually the physically strongest man in the ring.

 

[Jatt]

His most impressive win and my fav fight of his was the Chad Dawson one

This fight was NEVER on the table or even in consideration. Stop making stuff up
