    He's got all the fundamentals down and a very good boxing IQ. He's also big and strong and if he trains with GGG he must have a very good conditioning as well.

    I know he is slow but Ward has faced slower guys in Bika and Froch so that is not the bottom line. The bottom line is if he could take away Ward's ******* jab away.

    I think Sullivan is not as good as Froch or Kessler but if he has their chin he is a dark horse in this fight.
    So he is not as good as those , they both loss to ward, but he is a dark horse, he is a dark horse because he is good and is fighting at his weight, and he can punch and box, that is why I think he have a chance...

      Not sleeping on Sullivan Barrera but people simply think Ward is on another level so most match-ups will have Ward as a big favorite.

        He is not going to win, too timid, you need pressure and angles to beat Ward, and you have to have stamina and aggression make it ugly.

        Ward is going to do the Hopkins on Barrera, hit, move, turn, hold when he can.

        I dont see Barrera doing anything unless he has a punchers chance.

          If barrera comes motivated and shows no respect for ward, and ward is underestimating him, then barrera can pull it off. But I think ward knows that he has a tough fight in front of him, and I expect him to win a clear decision

            And Sanchez constantly **** talks Ward.
            is sanchez a good trainer or something? yes he trains ggg who is good but some fighters are special. just like ward has virgil hunter who is a terrible trainer.

              I think Virgil and Sanchez are very much alike.

              They can only truly train one fighter.
