    Ward is awesome, but he hasn't got a resume thats any more impressive than Calzaghe. Kessler, Froch, meh... Wards gold medal run was against WAY easier competition than GGG's.

    GGG is more accurate, he hits harder, throws more, has longer reach, and has a better chin.
    Ward has a lot of things going for him also, but not enough to say GGG has a Zero % chance, that is just ****** speak.

        Knocked out 14 straight and sent everyone in the middleweight division into hiding. He is the sports most accurate puncher, and does this with great volume and power which is unheard of.

          yep. Probably the reason I stepped out to the discoteca tonight instead of catching boxing. I appreciate the sweet science but Ward is a tough pill to swallow. His fights are godawful..

            If the ref allows holding and headbutting, Andre Ward wins.

            If they adhere to the rules, GGG has a chance

              Who has GGG beaten to make me think he would beat Ward now? Ward has beaten all the top names at 168 and Dawson when he was worth something. I like GGG but I'm not going to fall into the hype.

                gg has a chance to get ko'd..........

                ward actually fights better without the smothering. thats when golovkin will find himself on his butt.

                in realty it's a easy fight for ward

                  that might be wards tactic, but Golovkin is stronger and hits like a hammer in the clinches, most people only clinch a few times with Golovkin before realizing he gets the better of it. Ward would need a better plan to win rounds.

                    The only way GGG beats Ward is if he cuts the ring off and pins him in the corner before he finds his rhythm and hurts him in the early rounds. Ward's defence has improved A LOT since getting hurt by Boone and Kost. I would put my money on Ward winning a decision. He could stop GGG on cuts, but he wouldn't knock him out.

                      Knocking out 14 straight Tomato Cans isn't what I would call impressive or particularly note worthy.

                      You got anything else?
