Why is Andre Ward considered a scary fight for GGG by some?

Assuming this layoff hasn't dulled him too badly, Ward would almost definitely beat Golovkin IMO. And with Ward's own trainer saying he wouldn't come back and jump right into a Golovkin or Kovalev fight, there's no chance of seeing the fight anytime soon.
Until Ward actually fights again, why bother with him?

sure, Ward should be favored at 168, but I know a lot of people would favor GGG at 160.
the weight is a huge factor in who you favor in this fight
wards primary advantage over golovkin at 168 is size. different styles but similar ability levels. ward is reluctant to go to 175 because he would have no size advantage over kovalev.
the refusal to sign up to random testing is suspect too!

ward would probably beat golovkin - golovkin is world class at one range, and ward will take that range away from him - but kovalev would batter ward, imo. that's the fight ward fans should be demanding if they really want to see him in competitive legacy fights.

He is considered a scary fight because we dont know how GGG will handle excessive clinching and butting. My suggestion would for GGG to make proper preparations for this by taping his arm to the heavy bag and his trainer repeatedly hit him in the head with a bowling ball while he tries to work with his free arm.

Ward will use his weight advantage and smother Golovkin, same way as Gaydarbekov did to Golovkin in the Olympics final. This fight will be ugly wrestling match to watch. (probability 60%)
If it is clean boxing match, then GGG will KO Ward or win by UD. (probability 40%).
GGG is better than Ward as a boxer and as a fighter, but Ward can still pull that smothering trick on him. Same as what John Ruiz did to better boxers than him back in his days or Vitaly and Wlad doing to better boxers nowadays.Last edited by Sancho Puncho; 12-18-2014, 10:40 AM.
