By Stevie Ocallaghan:One of the big debates that always rages on is who is the pound for pound champ. Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, Andre Ward, a K brother, even Adrien Broner is now getting caught in the mix. For me No 1 has to go to Andre Ward. Ward entered the super 6, not as the favorite but as a contender. He fought and beat the best in probably the most hotly contested division out there. This is my reasoning.Ward fought and beat all the top guys, guys who were world champs and after losing to Ward, went on to be again a belt holder.
Carl Froch, Mikkel Kessler, who he stopped, a feat that Joe Calzaghe couldn’t do, proves the level of competition that Ward fought at. Now a lot of people will say Floyd Mayweather. Yes, he’s still undefeated but really, what makes him no 1?
