I saw this brought up on another post comparing the fact that Gatti went 30 rounds with Ward whereas Kt would probablky knock him out in five, but I dont agree. Ward was a tough enough fighter that I think he would have lasted the distance even with KT...that being said, I still think KT hits harder than Gatti but I think to say KT would surely have knocked out Ward is a bit ridiculous because Ward just never got knocked out.

Andre Ward? Kostya Tszyu would kill him. That kid is not going to go very far in my opinion. -
Come on dude, there's only one ward that's worth mentioning in the same breath as kostya and gatti, and that's IRISH MICKEY. sheeshOriginally posted by asian_sensationComment

haha no Mickey Ward...Gatti never fought Andre Ward and its too early in Andre Ward's career to tell what he is going to ammount to.Originally posted by asian_sensationComment

He has yet to show me anything special. He's got good reflexes, but average punching power. He can be hit.Originally posted by bobbyjonesComment

Tszyu could possibly get him with body punches.Comment

hah the point is that im not talking about Andre Ward, but at the same time I think that it is a little earlier to be condemning him to a career of failure. He still fights like an amateur because that is where he learned to fight. I am sure that Andre Ward will develope more as a fighter as time goes on.Comment

I didnt know that KT was known for his body punches?...at least certainly not moreso than GattiOriginally posted by NABComment

Wow, my comment caused a new thread!!
I stick with what i say, although i have a lot of respect for him, he's a very good fighter with a very good chin, Wards style is perfect for Tszyu.
Ward's defence is basically cover up and weather the storm, Tszyu punches with such force so IMO its impossible to take it for too long. Also Ward's body defence is terrible, his elbows are high leaving his body totally exposed.
Ward would give Tszyu a lot to thinks about(including pain) but its TKO by round 5.Comment
