Ward vs Crawford if both were in the same weightclass

[lopetego]

Ward wins, specially if the fight takes place in Oklahoma, with his personal judges and referee allowing him to hold, headbutt and fight dirty to his heart's content

Styles make fights. This is going to sound funny. Crawford is limited compared to Ward. He’s a natural counterpuncher., who needs room. That’s it. He likes to set u up. Ward can counterpunch very well AND maul you AND he’s also very smart and disciplined. There is a game plan to beat Crawford. Few have the mind and talent to implement it. Ward can. Ive seen Crawford forced too toe to toe. Ward would make him. Only man I think could of beat Ward if they way the same is Mayweather or Whitaker.

I came in here to literally say this. Ward would get inside and make it a dog fight. As much as I like Crawford, he can't find inside like most fighters these days and Ward had the mental strength and fight IQ to do just that.

In the midst of your hate, you mistakingly said Oklahoma instead of Oakland.

I would favor Andre Ward in this hypothetical matchup because he had a better inside game than Terence Crawford.

Crawford and its not even close. Ward cant even throw a ****ing combination, his entire gameplan is > throw a potshotjab, rush in with your head, clinch and then repeat this the entire fight. the mythology surrounding Ward is ridiculous, he isn't unbeaten guys and nearly all his best wins have asterisks.
American Sven Ottke. come at me bros.

Yup, That’s my point. Crawford is a counterpuncher. He also needs distance to time you. Ward WONT give him that distance.

Cap. Ward was really good at throwing straight punches as well. As lanky as Crawford is, his straight punches are not that sharp and precise. Ward would take him out of his comfort zone and beat him.

Yeah..... but Crawford has a better resume than Ward imo

How? Froch, Kovalev, Kessler are all better than anyone on Crawford’s resume.

yeah ward will wrestle, hold and hit, lowblow, and headbutt. basically he wont allow boxing to happen adn then people will come on here and say hes a great boxer lol as if they didnt just see him do that the entire fight. if you want to know how overrated ward is just look at the way he fights guys like brand and paul smith compared to good fighters he fights...its all illegal tactics against the good guys and none against the bums. he had to cheat to win
