Andre Ward p4p#1 2014?

Not unless he beats Kovalev

and kovalev would knock him out cold

... This is if Kovalev would have been allowed to punch. The truth is that Ward doesn't allow a puncher to punch -- Ward would stay glued onto Kovalev chest until the Russian is gassed... In the later rounds, Ward would unleash his extremely fast in-and-out slapping proceedings and leave Kovalev defeated and confused. That is why we all love Andre.

Ward rightfully passed Pac and Floyd for #1 p4p a while ago
unfortunately, he let it slip by sitting on the shelf for too long
he got his tuneup done, now he needs to get back to business
guys he's beaten have recovered some clout since then
for that reason, don't mind Froch or Bika rematches
whoever wins the 3rd AA-Stieglitz fights is viable too
wanted Ward to go to 175 before, but don't mind him staying put now
he just needs 2 good wins and he's got his #1 p4p ranking back

This is the only real fight left for Ward at 168 atm imo, assuming Stieglitz wins. He has already beaten Bika, Froch and Abraham fairly comfortably.

If Groves beats Froch in a rematch, that is another option but right now it's Stieglitz from a competitive perspective.

Not if he puts himself out of the ring again with promotional battles. I get wanting more money, but not to the detriment of your career. Some money and legacy is better than no money and no legacy.

Stieglitz only fights in Würstlandia -- therefore you assume that Ward would travel there for a big payday. I guess that both Stieglitz and Ward would find such a fight as too risky.

If the current number one guy one the list chooses to fight a guy like Annie khan
and say ward chooses to fight 2 real contenders will he be able to pass him up and become the number 1 p4p champion

Sounds like youre more interested in complaining about Mayweather than talking about Andre Ward.

Is that why you want him to reach #1 P4P?

Wards been on the shelf too long. A decent win followed by a couple good wins could get me to forget about his recent hiatus. That's not a lock though. I don't even remember the last time Ward fought 3 times in a year so..

If Ward takes on a legit opponent, Kovalev, Stevenson, Hopkins at 175 or Froch 2 at 168, then I'd take him up to number one. But if Ward has another mediocre year fighting bums I'm tempted to drop him from his spot at 2 (on my own list) and if someone like Bradley or Martinez have a big year and Floyd doesn't fight Pac yet again, they could go number one.

Bradley goes number one if he beats Pac cleanly and defends against another legit opponent.

Martinez if he beats Cotto (which he probably will) and then fights either of Golovkin or QUillin and beats them, especially if he beats them well.
