It's a little better but not by much, if GGG beat Lee next year I would say they're even.
The major difference is the so called boxing fans refuse to give GGG comp the same level of respect they give Wards comp.
They pretend guys like Bika, Froch, Kessler, and Abraham are elite and not B+ fighters while the same time calling guys like Geale, Lemule, Murray, and Monroe bums.
Childish stuff really but you learn in life some people have their mind made up and no amount of reasoning will change that. They feel admitting they're wrong makes them look stupid but in reality it shows a person with intellect.
Everyone read my sig if you want a laugh over this guy.
Who else was Ward supposed to fight? He steamrolled through the entire division, without any resistance. Made Froch look slow and out of his league. His resume isn't elite, but that's not his fault ....he's elite, as is Gokovkin. For the respective weights, they are the best....doesn't mean they're ATGs but they are undeniably the best SMW and MW on the planet right now and it would be a treat to see them fight.
Really you don't even need to watch his recent fight to realize he's on a decline, his choices of "tuneups" is more than enough to understand Ward is not confident in fighting harder competition. What a diva, overrated scumbag
I mean at least GGG smashes these not so good fighters in entertaining fashion.... GGG would have KO'd Smith in no less than 3 rounds similar to Macklin yet Ward goes centuries with him.
Plus Ward's resume looks pretty overrated to me, Kessler and Froch are good but they're not truly elite, Froch I suppose is elite but he's still known as being a big overachiever and if it wasn't for his ridiculous chin he wouldn't have been a world champ.
Pretty overrated resume if you ask me, I don't see anyone in it who's as good as GGG or Kovalev.
Ward-Smith: -3300 (veteran fighter, with two good title challenges)
Ward-Rodriguez: -1100 (24-0, one of the top challengers at the time)
Ward-Dawson: -300 (light heavyweight kingpin)
Ward-Froch: -300 (28-1, WBC 168 champion, future IBF/wba champ)
Ward-Abraham: -750 (former 160 champion, future WBO 168 champion)
Ward-Bika: -950 (rugged veteran, future champion at weight)
Ward-Green: -600
Ward-Kessler: +180 (42-1, WBA champion, favorite of the tournament)
Ward-Miranda: -300 (big punching, former 160 champion)
Ward's worse opponent over his odds stretch throttles Golovkin's best opponent, and it;s not even close.
