    He might be, and he has certainly proven his talents more so than Gennady.

    There are a few good arguments for GGG though,

    1. People who have sparred/fought both say its an even fight or pick Gennady to win. These guys have a better idea than us, so I take that sort of talk pretty serious.

    2. Golovkin has the most impressive offense in the sport right now, he is extremely accurate and hits very hard, so you can't count him out in any fight.

    3. Ward doesn't have the power to keep Golovkin away, Ward will have to survive 12 rounds against a guy that doesn't slow down, and that could take him out with one good shot - Darnell Boone hurt Ward, Golovkin has a much better chance of hurting Ward, and if Ward gets hurt, Golovkin will finish him.

        GGG doesn't slow down he just gasses in like 6 lol. Ward has true 168 power, enough to keep off and bully guys like Froch but not GG?
        What makes you think that lol Rosado could push back GGG at times lol

            I'm not aware of GGG ever showing signs of stamina issues.

            GGG has power on an entirely higher level than Ward and Froch, look at KO's (not TKO's) Golovkin has twice as many as Ward and Froch COMBINED! Guys with this kind of power don't get bullied, they get respect - and lots of it.

            What happened to Rosado again? oh thats right...

              I fully expect this to be a real showing from Ward. He had so much momentum after the Super Six and I suspect he wants that back. Plus, he may be on the good stuff considering he refused the drug testing. I will be surprised if it doesn't cause issues with his HBO relationship. Jim worships Nonito for the drug testing stance he took and threw Marquez under the bus. This isnt a good look for Ward.
