    The fact that he's physically bigger, stronger and most likely hit harder than Ward's previous opponents could make this one of Ward's toughest fights. I defnitely see Sullivan to be a much more dangerous opponent than someone like Abraham and or a weight drained Dawson.

        He's KO'd his last 6 opponents, all the decision wins came early in his career against weak opposition when he was still learning the pro game.

        He's clearly getting better fight after fight. Ward's getting KO'd.

          To me Wards toughest fight was that dude Sakio Bika. Ward won that fight but Bika was so awkward and aggressive and wild you had to be on your toes against him if one of those bombs landed it would be over.

            Percentages aren't what defines world class power.... It's knockouts over top class fighters that demonstrate more than anything. Lemieux's power is overrated as hell.... He has the percentages but "who" has he knocked out.

            I found it laughable when some people were saying he could KO GGG or that he was the bigger puncher in the matchup when he couldn't get rid of N'Dam. Those guys were probably just Golovkin fan boys trying to convince us that the match up was PPV worthy (the numbers proved it wasn't).

                  Hard to say. Ward's best wins are slow, flat footed stiffs. But they were more proven than Barrera at the elite level.

                      Has anyone actually read one of these "doe" posts and actually laughed lol... or is the objective of these posts to say something semi-******ed and put "doe" at the end of it for comic relief?
