GGG vs Ward

[Simurgh]

No, look at fighters on ESPN, Fox Sports 1 and NBC Sports and the second they step up they lose.

Look at Periban, the guy was one shotting guys on Fox Southwest and he steps up and Bika makes him look below average.

You might be thinking Golovkin fights better opponents but Rosado, Ishida, Ouma, Stevens and Proska have all lost to ESPN level fighters.

True.. I only wish for the guy to get his opportunity. I believe he is much more than what his resume suggests but only time (hopefully) will tell.

this guy is ridiculously overrated.

his best win is ****ing mathew macklin. now all of a sudden he's knocking out Andre Ward?

[mannyman]

GGG is a hyped power puncher. Ward will take this guy to school.

We've just seen what happened to Matthysse. Skill > Power.

It's hard to say because we don't really know how good GGG really is. We know how good Ward is, damn good, because he's proven it against top competition. So going by that logic and analyzing their styles one has to favor Ward. However, this logic doesn't always work, as I said, when you don't know a certain fighter's ceiling and limitations (GGG) it's hard to comfortably make a prediction.

It's almost the case like in the Canelo-Mayweather fight, but I think that Ward isn't as good as Floyd and that GGG looks superior to Canelo. Plus GGG was a decorated amateur and looked good in the Olympics.

Lucas had a better resume and you saw what happened when he stepped up and fought Danny? Ward is even better than Danny so not competitive.

No way I see GGG being any comp to Ward they are different level of fighters.

Why do so many people think this fight would be a walk in the park for Ward?

IMO Ward is best P4P fighter in the world, but GGG is no mug. He'd give Ward one hell of a fight, that I am sure of. I wouldn't bet on a winner, but if I had to pick for the sake of it, I'd go for a very close win on points for Ward.

Also enough of this 'Ward is much bigger' nonsense. He's got about a 3/4 centimeter height advantage, you'd think it was about 30 by the way some go on about it though. His biggest advantage would be his speed and movement, not his height.

Ward is not the best fighter in the world. All u guys that think he is need to wake up. It's Floyd. He's #1. And I ****ing hate that little prick but he's at the top of the mountain.

Only thing GGG's skills >> Matthysse's skills

Listen to Macklin's interview. He doesn't praise GGG's power but his SKILLS.

Ward is taught call not just because he's no.2 p4p, but because he's much bigger fighter as well.

Anyhow Sanzhez and GGG won't walk away from that fight if noone wants to step in at 160.
