Very few have what it takes to survive shirts like that
Lemieux, Cotto, Canelo, nor Ward can.
They key for anyone of them is to not get hit solidify.
Of those named, only Ward has a shot--hence why the haters think he should drop everything and fight Mr. Courtroom.
I think Ward takes it in the chin and bows out.
But we won't find out until he is done unifying the division. -
Out dated
Pad work very overrated. It's a stationary target with no weight unlike a heavy bag. Old timers didn't hit pads. Speed bag teaches you to keep hands high no boxing skills.being taught during Sparring heavy bag and cardio and maybe the elusive double end bag still the cornerstones.Comment

In your dreams. GGG beats Ward soundly, and as Ward would not consider dropping to 164 to secure a fight with GGG, Ward has as much as admitted that he needs everything he's got (including a significant weight advantage) to have a chance against GGG. Essentially, Ward has done nothing in the ring for the last 23 months. If he had agreed to the catchweight of 164, he could have had his best chance at reclaiming his status as a legit pound for pound fighter if he beat GGG. Since he didn't, Ward's status is built on memories, and anybody who sees it at anything more after such a long layoff is dreaming.Comment

I'm tellin y'all firsthand as some one who stood a couple feet away from GGG doing a mitt session . . . The power on his uppercuts could knock a boxer out at ANY weight. Sounded like a canon was goin' off in the gym when he landed emComment

When would it have been made?
When COULD it have been made?
Andre hasn't had his 2/3 tune-ups yet, remember. And the offer he sent to Loeffler was for GGG to agree to fight him sometime next year.
Yet, supposedly, he is planning to continue his tune-up campaign at 175, to prepare himself for Kovalev, and GGG is planning to go for the WBC and WBO MW titles, also next year.Comment

Let me get a Little conspiratorial (it's boxing after all), but first, Ward
No Way! GGG is not obligated to fight Ward when Ward pleases. The simple fact is, Ward is the B-side in that fight.
Whether you agree or not.
GGG can have goals other than beating Ward, and still think he can beat Ward.
He'll, they offered Ward a fight in the past. That fact alone blows up your premise.
Team GGG was right to turn down that lame contract to fight in a year after tune ups. Amy smart fighter would.
Unification the MW belts puts him in a strong position.
Exactly. I believe Ward only tried to get GGG to come up to get him out of the way for Canelo or Cotto, or both.
Goldenboy owns Ring Mag. Out of blue, Ring gives Ward his P4P back, even though he didn't do anything that they said he needed to get back. Fighting Smith did not fix the problem.
I think Goldenboy quite literally is trying to use Ward.
I've heard De La Hoya claim GGG should move up. I'm sure he'd love it, because GGG is in Canelo's way.
I don't trust GBP.
That's why I think he beats Ward.
However, I think if he did that now. Canelo, Cotto, Lee, Quillin, all have huge excuse to duck GGG and stand in his way.
And that's BS in my eyes.Comment

Talk about Quacks!!
Peter Quillin is a duck if I ever saw one. Sure he took the fight with Lee probably going into the fight thinking, " yeah I can beat this skinny little while boy",.... But as we all found out, that didn't quite pan out in Peters favor. And before that, he relinquished his champion belt because he supposedly wanted to take time off for family. How long did that "hiatus" last?!?!? Seems clear to me that he saw the GGG locomotive coming and decided to jump off the tracks. Isn't it obvious to most folks?!?! I saw it plane as day. Andy Lee is in for a rude awakening and his "0" in the loss column is about to change in the coming year. Sriously doubt either of these two fighters could stop Canelo or Cotto, much less last a few rounds with the G-Man. I do hope that GGG makes a fight with Ward after he unifies the division, beats Ward sensless like he did Stevens and shuts up all the haters,......and you know who you are. I doubt Lemieux's chin would last long, but he'd better watch out for the left to the body because he might get a few cracked ribs if he isn't careful. GGG has dropped quite a few fighters with body shots.Comment
