I have GGG stopping Ward late in a technical fight that is even on the cards until Ward breaks down from accumulated damage and takes a knee early in the 11th, only to get up and get put down again toward the end of the round in a FOTY candidate. Thoughts?

Ward himself knows that a prime GGG beats him at 168, thats why he ran from the fight when HBO wanted to make the fight in 2013. Made excuses about his back and eventually faced Edwin Rodriguez instead. Then the frustrated Ward retired so he didnt have to face GGG and only came back and fought at Light Heavyweight to get away further from GGG. There was still pressure on Ward so he tried to manipulate the low iq fanbase with his hoax offer right after GGG signed to face Lemieux in a Title Unification. At the same time Cotto, who was also terrified of GGG, paid step aside money to GGG to face Canelo. GGG was promised by the WBC to get the winner of that fight. Ward, who was with the same promotion as Cotto - Roc Nation - obviously knew all of that and made that stupid hoax offer to GGG that some low IQ dumbsters fell for, so he could avoid GGG once and for all.
Does anyone actually believe this bu!!shyte?

Golovkin will put any fighter from min weight to LHW six feet under. Ward didn't want that work.
While you're certainly entitled to your own OPINION, you're not entitled to your own facts. Present your case like I did or STFU.
GGG did well to finally step up at age 34 to face a titlist in Lemieux.
But Lemieux was the weakest titlist we'd seen in years, so we can surmise that GGG deliberately waited for that weak titlist to come along,in order to avoid losses to better titlists.
Ward is not only a hundred times better than Lemieux, but bigger too.
No chance for GGG and less chance of getting him in the ring with him anyway, if the best titlist GGG dare face ever is Lemieux.
Ward would demolish GGG in a 1-sided fight. The fight can only go 3 ways....ggg would either lose on points by a huge margin, quit on his stool or get KO'ed by body shots. GGG is small and wouldn't be able to handle ward on the inside. Ward will bully him on the inside, and on the outside ward controls the pace and would counter him all day. It is a bad match up and ggg knows this. There is a reason why they didn't want anything to do with ward.
Not according to YOUR poll. That's why team ggg absolutely avoided a Ward fight.
Golovkin will put any fighter from min weight to LHW six feet under. Ward didn't want that work.
Perhaps NSB’s worst Fantasy fight thread ever constructed, and it will never be broken!
NSB knows Gennadis gets in Wards nalgas and makes him quit.
:dance:
GGG did well to defend against 1 top contender during his title years and beat one titlist., but you dont want to put him against elites they will beat him.
He was nowhere to be found and GGG is STILL willing to body anyone from min weight to heavy.
We can't blame fighters for not fighting guys that won't face them.
You got nothing. Disappointing, I expected more from you.
Ward didn’t duck shyte. Please explain it to me. I’d love to hear this

Brook moved up to challenge, don't twist history, no one forced him. It's commendable, Mikey did the same.
Ward ducked GGG, no other way to slice it.

Horse shyte! When a Ward/ggg fight was a real possibility (not when Ward was injured, not when Ward was having legal problems) team ggg insisted that the fight could only happen at 164. They knew Ward would be hard pressed to make 168 and 164 would be out of the question. They could act like they wanted a Ward fight without having to fight him. This was after they approved 168 for both Froch and Chavez Jr. After the fight fell apart, Ward moved up to fight the #1 light heavy in the perceived killer Kovalev and ggg drug the #3 welterweight(Brook) up not one but two weight classes for a fight. So who was looking for tough competition and who wasn't.
What they said: anyone from 154 to 168
What they meant: anyone from 154 to 168 as long as HBO approves, as long as we dictate all terms, as long as we get the lions share of the money and as long as your name isn't Andre Ward.
In hindsight this was a good move as ggg made millions he wouldn't have with a Ward loss on his resume.
Brook moved up to challenge, don't twist history, no one forced him. It's commendable, Mikey did the same.
