Trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. believes Andre Ward would demolish Gennady Golovkin - if the two fighters ever stepped in the ring with each other.

Ward, who now competes at the light heavyweight limit, had dominated the super middleweight division before he moved up to 175-pounds earlier this year.

Last year, there were some minor discussions to make that fight. According to Ward, Golovkin's handlers refused to entertain the idea of that contest until the first quarter of 2017.  Rather than stick around at 168, Ward moved up in weight. He challenges IBF/WBO/WBA light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev on November 19th.

Mayweather Sr. views the fight as a mismatch.

"Ward vs. Triple G, I see Ward beating the hell out of him. That’s not even a contest with those two. All he does is smother you, that’s all he do (Golovkin). He throws wild punches, he’s not a good fighter. The look is a good look for Ward. Anything he throws, Ward should be able to block and counter," Mayweather Sr. told On The Ropes Boxing Radio.

Although the fighters are now two weight divisions apart, Mayweather Sr. does not give Ward a big physical advantage - if the two fighters meet at a catch-weight. 

"That ain’t no big deal with Ward. Ward aint really no more than 160 pounds either. He ain’t that much bigger than him. Ward’s gonna make that man want to get out of the ring real fast, very early. Like the same thing I was telling the people about Kell Brook, with Golovkin, I was telling them that Golovkin was gonna win because, I told them that Kell Brook will probably win the early rounds, but hey, later on down the stretch I said that Triple G was gonna smother him and make Kell Brook quit," Mayweather Sr. said.
