"SOG" Ward vs "Good Boy" Golovkin @ 168 lbs/12 Stone: Who wins?

[Mukuro]

I think Ward's size/range advantage is his strongest asset in this fight. I could see him edging out GGG with his size and tactical advantage, but I could also see GGG getting to him with pressure and accurate punching. I think it is close to a toss up and I really hope the fight gets made in the next couple years.

Whats funny is that people on BS are more confident in GGG's ability to beat Ward at 168 than GGG and his coach are. They flat out refuse to fight him at 168. We the the A side doe.

Just because one side wants to make sure the contract and negotiations are favorable doesn't make them scared. This sport is still a business.

Hard to say, really. I have to see GGG at 168 first, but either way I'd favor Ward. He's fought the better opposition and continuously proven himself at the elite level

You make a good point about Ward, but GGG is the more complete fighter.

If they were the same size, id give GGG a solid chance, probably the favourite

Ward being the much bigger man alone gives him one hell of an advantage in this fight. Id expect him to beat the smaller man

Exactly what I have been indicating in other threads. GGG has no advantage in this fight. Ward is bigger and more cunning. GGG's aggressive style would be effectively neutralized by Ward's clinching and footwork.

TS keeps making polls, but doesn't even give a f*k about them. Kovalev vs Ward is much more competitive as seen in the other poll.

Ward won't be able to clinch GGG. Golovkin will force an inside fight and take away his legs early, and maul him.

its an easy UD for Ward, i honestly see this fight as a huge mismatch

he would be easier than Carl Froch,

GGG called out anyone from 154-168, but we can all now see it was all talk

now Ward vs Kovalev is a great matchup that has to be made now

It's too bad Ward said no when anyone 154-168 was put on notice. Now Gggs doing great business at MW and will only move up and down for serious money and exposure. Unfortunately Froch was not willing to find out if Ggg is overrated.

But you're right, Ward vs Kovalev should be next since neither guys got much going. What's the holdup there?

[just the facts]

Ward won't be able to clinch GGG. Golovkin will force an inside fight and take away his legs early, and maul him.

Too bad team ggg doesn't share your confidence
