Be honest, do GGG fans really think he can beat Ward and why?

[Lester Tutor]

People have said GGG hasn't done anything at middleweight yet, so wonder why people are asking GGG to fight Ward already? Let GGG fight winner of Canelo and Cotto first maybe?

But do people think Floyd can beat GGG at middleweight?

GGG has the opportunity to unify all the belts, the same way Bhop unified all the belts. Those are going to be the fights that now count as the undisputed, getting the WBO and the WBC, because so far GGG has only beaten Geale, the same Geale that Cotto beat. GGG has the WBA Super, K2 doesn't even need to accept winner of Quillin or Jacobs, which is ironic considering the fact that Cotto with the Super WBC could approach it the same way and not give GGG the benefit of a PPV.

Not sure who would win.
Close fight, Ward was rolling a couple years ago, but ring rust and fighting top guys recently gives GGG a chance.
GGG is a force to be dealt with, he has power, speed and great technique. 154-160 no one beats him right now. Ward is best at 168, 175 only Kov could beat him.

Hopefully we get Canelo/ Cotto vs GGG instead. Ward can fight Kov.

With a fair ref who doesn't allow illegal tactics like this:



GGG would beat Ward.

With Jack Reiss allowing Ward to foul as much as he wants, while admonishing GGG for nothing, Ward would win after GGG suffers a severe cut from a head butt.

Ward isn't any good without his illegal tactics. He'll lose when he fights someone good if there is an honest ref who enforces the rules.

im a GGG fan but I don't think he can beat ward simply due to styles. kovalev might tho but it's 50/50 imo

[Weebler I]

OK I'll let you have that on ward.

He has only 3 fights in the past 3 years...let's assume he fell off even though he is 31, fixed his shoulder n has been in 0 wars, and stayed in shape year round

If we can assume that for ward.... we can also assume GGG isn't elite or p4p yet because he hasn't face the Comp to prove it...this year, 2011 or 34 fights in

Ward has 28 fights but his resume ****s on GGG

He is undoubtedly more proven on the A class level career vs career

No argument with that.

GGG can't beat a healthy Ward. And I don't think it's fair for him to even have to fight Ward above 164. When GGG decides to go to 168, (and Ward doesn't have to be his 1st fight there), then we can talk.

TBH, Ward wants an easy fight and every fan of certain fighters who've fought at 160, or at 154 wants Ward to save their guy from GGG. But Ward needs to fight Kovalev in my eyes to return to the top of the pfp list and be considered the best current fighter.

if they were confident he would beat ward they would want the fight like everyone else

GGGs performance against Lemieux was impressive. After that, I believe GGG has an even higher chance against Ward. He is a beast, not a foul clincher and cheat

No argument with that.

Cool, we're even

Lemieux and Ward fight nothing alike.....Also Lemieux has one win over a top ten opponent


That fouler and clincher hasn't lost a fight since he started puberty so he must be doing something right


Its funny to me how on this forum say oh he is boring, oh he runs, he clinches when they don't like a fighters style

totally bashing their accomplishments but if its a fighter who they like, that has noticeably done less they don't bring up level of opposition

Newsflash whiners its the opponents job and his trainers job to eliminate things that he is good at or other tactics.....My trainer always told me if its working don't stop using it...You learn how to work out of clinch in the amatuers bro.....sounds like excuses to me.
