I have no qualms thinking that Canelo will beat Ward because he is a great fighter although i Just feel Ward will find a way. There is no one at 168 that Canelo has beat that ward couldn't beat.
    This is simply untrue. Ward ducked Bute (or its at least a MISS). Ward literally said in regards to Bute, "he needs to earn it and go through some of what I went through". Froch took the fight and the rest is history.

    Ward didnt do everything he couldve done to make GGG fight.

    Ward didnt rematch Froch.

    Ward didnt fight Stevenson.

      Criticizing Ward for not fighting HOF opponents means you DKSAB.

      From Miranda to Kovalev (other than Pudwill), they will not be hof’ers but they were tough men that Wars deserves credit for beating.

      It is similar to Hagler before Antefuermo. He wasn’t beating “HOFers “ but he was beating the toughest guys in every city.
      Its not petty or ******. Its a genuine comparison and there's nothing wrong with it.

      If you arent interested in the topic then dont read it and definitely dont contribute

      Ward lost Kovalev 1 and Tony Weekes forever ruined Wards comeback win in the rematch

          Nah I don't think he'll make it in. Had he gotten the decision over Ward I think he'd be closer

              Mosley and Cotto were old and naturally much smaller than Canelo

                No he needs to fight Lucian Bute, a true HOFer

                And why did he fight Kovalev instead of proven warriors such as 2017 Beterbiev and Bivol?

                Him not giving Carl Froch and and Kessler a rematch was sus. Close fights that could have gone either way

                  froch, dawson,kessler and he fought kovalev when he was unbeaten, not when he was some semi retired drunk on back of being ko'd not long before.

                    LOL.

                    Froch and Kovalev are on Smith, BJS, Plant level. And Froch had already been defeated when Ward fought him.

                    Dawson was a walking corpse when Ward made him come back down to 168 after fighting at 175 for 6+ years. Come one, don't give us that bullsh.it. I can just imagine the sh.it Canelo would get if he made someone come down in weight and enter the ring as a corpse. But for Ward, it's perfectly ok.

                    Kessler is ok. Won't make it into the HOF, decent champ, nothing great. Levels below Froch, Kovalev, Smith, BJS, Plant.

                      Kessler and Froch are levels above the likes of Smith, Saunders and Plant.
