Meh, not bad. I thought they'd actually do an actual analysis, but just interviewed a few previous opponents. I still don't agree that Ward will be the guy to beat GGG. No punch power and questionable chin. I think if he develops well, someone like Jessie Hart might have a better chance in 2-3 years.
Not often but he has been hit by Dawson, Froch, Rodriguez, Abraham, Kessler, Bika, Green. All of those guys can punch. They didn't land much but if his chin was really a weakness we'd know imo. It may or may not be great but a major flaw it is not. Nobody's D is THAT good.
Well he was down by a no name earlier in his career (no, not Boone). I'm not saying it's bad but there's been little moments here and there where it makes me question it just a bit. Maybe I'm just nitpicking.
I don't think his chin is bad but I remember the first jab that Abraham landed on him made him stumble a bit. Maybe it just caught him off guard but I'm still skeptical on how good it really is. His defense and his ability to negate his opponents offense is what makes it hard to tell because he doesn't get hit that cleanly all too often.

Ward got enough punching power to keep anyone honest enough. His chin isn't questionable either. It's clearly fine.

why should lineal champ automatically get lions share?
didnt any of you watch cotto martinez face off?
professor cotto already broke it down.
im not saying ward should or should not get the lions share. im just saying i dont think lineal title automatically means you get the lions share. this isnt a purse bid fight.
baldomir earned the lions share against floyd remember...

Right now, we feel that Gennady***8217;s popularity has jumped over where Andre is,***8221; Loeffler said to ******. ***8220;There***8217;s no disrespect to Andre, because he has clearly established himself as the best 168-pounder. But from a marketability standpoint, Gennady***8217;s ratings are higher than what Andre***8217;s were in his last fight, and it just doesn***8217;t seem like the financial picture would work for a fight like that at this point***8230;it just seems like that fight at this particular point is not realistic.***8221;
Come man
Lol, Ward saying for past year he's ready & willing to fight GGG. Now that his promo situation is resolved he suddenly needs a couple tune-ups. Seriously, tell Jay Z to back up money for a Ward/Golovkin ppv this fall. Golovkin fights in May and Ward in April, then get it on (or atleast make an offer Andre!)
We've seen a lot of fighters saying one thing but doing the opposite. Not to say Ward doesn't want to fight GGG, but I'm gonna have to go off a lot more than somebody just saying something.
That is fair but do you agree ward should receive the lionshare?
How many times have loeffer and sanchez said that they don't want ward because he wants a lionshare. They just cry and cry obviously ward is higher priority for hbo aswell as a lineal champ and he should be paid accordingly. Ward has been saying since last year that he would fight gg

***8220;As for Ward, he has a situation with his promoter that is keeping him idle,***8221; said Sanchez. ***8220;But if a fight with Gennady could be discussed, the fact is that Andre is on an island with the belief that he can demand terms. That makes it un-makeable and un-workable when he wants the major portion of the money.***8221;
Shouldn't the lineal champ get the lionshare?
Ward and Virgil said he needs 2 tune ups before he fights someone with a pulse.
Wasnt Ward supposed to move to 175 like 3 years ago anyway? What happened? :thinking:
looooool post of the day
Since when?? Show me an offer to GGG from Ward, ever.

so we gona act like Ward hasnt been asking for a fight
Five weeks from now Golovkin's free to fight whoever, we'll see if Ward with his new 'block-buster' deal makes an offer. Regardless of what Golovkin/Loeffler's response would be, if Ward really wants it, he's finally in a position to truly ask for it.
