Who has the best chance to beat ward?

[Mike D]

Would it kill ya to put a little more effort into this thread? Is it too much ask for, maybe, one, two sentences?

I lol'd .......

Kovalev or Golovkin, Froch will sooner or later get smashed or retire before thinking of fighting Ward again.

[-Kev-]

He retired. It was Joe Calzaghe, the 2006-2007 peak version. You need to be that versatile.

All these fools thinking power will beat any style, just foolish. You need handspeed, activity, good footwork, stamina to beat Ward. Calzaghe had the best chance. These new guys, Stevenson, Kovalev, Ant Dirrell, Groves, DeGale, they don't have much of a chance.

I'd say active, it is Bernard Hopkins, and even he loses an ugly close fight. 2nd is Jean Pascal, that would be tough but also loses probably. I'd love to see Ward vs Hopkins and Pascal, those are the two most competitive fights IMO. Groves is not a bad fight either.

I agree, Kev.

I made a poll about a Calzaghe v Ward matchup a while back, I'll find you the link so you can see the results...

Here we are: http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=622874 Ward still heavily favoured...

I think Kovalev destroys Ward.

[MAXIMUS~RICO~13]

Kovalev is the only name that comes to mind, GGG and Stevenson would fall short...

[BoxingGenius27]

At 168? No one

Maybe Kovalev at 175

[Drunk Punch]

He's developed a style that's extremely difficult to beat. There's no standout threat at 168, maybe GGG if he fancied a moved up...

I'd probably put money on Kovalev, if I had to pick one.

[just the facts]

I think Kovalev destroys Ward.
