Lets go with your description of a systematic breakdown, but please don't confuse Smith with a world class fighter. On a world level he is C-level at best and that may be generous.

The styles are different too, Canelo is much more accurate than lemieux and likes to counter punch. It's a different type of a fight.

His younger brother, Callum, is undefeated, ranked higher than Paul at 168, and would have given that version of Ward a tough fight imo.
If that was as good as Ward can fight now, then he is no longer the best SMW in the world and would be destroyed by any of the top men at LHW.Last edited by SugarRaRobinson; 10-19-2015, 12:35 PM.

Currently Andre Ward is exploiting GGG's weaknesses by becoming a light heavyweight. Ward's next move to exploit GGG's weaknesses will be to move to cruiserweight. Andre hopes that he'll never have to exploit GGG's weaknesses by moving to heavyweight, but he will do so if necessary. Anything to exploit GGG's weaknesses is okay with Andre Ward.

30+ fights and Lemieux was his first real test. That speaks volumes alone.
And for those who say that Ward hasn't faced a puncher like Golovkin...well, he fought a much bigger puncher in Abraham and fought him toe to toe and came out of that fight without trouble. Remember that? Off course you don't.Last edited by Main Source; 10-19-2015, 12:00 PM.

Canelo-GGG will be more of a slug fest than the one sided beating we just witnessed. GGG is a natural counterpuncher himself, so I wonder if he will revert to old habits if he gets into trouble.
