Andre Ward – Nick / Nate Diaz
During his undefeated 32-0 reign in the sport of boxing, two-division champion Andre Ward was named as the best active boxer in the sport and topped the pound-for-pound rankings.
At his peak, Ward frequently trained with both Nick and Nate Diaz, and he always had good things to say about the two brothers, claiming that they “more than held there own,” when sparring with him.
“Nick is more, ‘hit me with your best shot, and I’m coming with my best shot,” Ward once noted. “Nate’s a little bit more of a skillful volume puncher, different angles and stuff like that. He was one of my main guys when I fought Chad Dawson.”
In a separate interview Ward also joked that Nate Diaz will, “slap you to death,” and added, “he always comes in shape and he throws a million punches from a million different angles…he’s just a bad boy.”
