Comments Thread For: Mayweather Sr: Andre Ward Would Beat The Hell Out of Golovkin!

[AneesMoha]

Still would like to put it out there that Canelo and Golovkin get bashed for fighting guys two weight divisions below them and yet Ward will get credit for doing the same thing....

Incorrect, he smothers at times. Not sure if you know what smothering/pressure fighting means. Doesn't mean that he clinches.

Incorrect again, he finished Smith.
Also, watch what Dawson did to Hopkins, then what Ward did to Dawson. He not only demolished him but Chad, who was a top guy at the time, was never the same afterward.
(and before anyone starts, " but I could make 168. I come into camp at about 178 pounds. I know I look bigger than what everybody thinks, but I could make 168" -Chad Dawson)

Dawson was weight drained.He said in many interviews that he wanted the Ward fight at 170 and Ward refused.We know he never walked into camp at 178 because he got in the ring at 185 by his own admission.He said all that to try to hide from Ward how weight drained he was.Why didn't Ward rise a division and go for Dawson's belt and reach out for greatness? Why didn't he do a Leonard Lanonde and meet at catchweigjt for two titles? He wanted the advantages.So I don't count that as a demolishion.Sorry.He stopped Smith on his feet.That's not why I call demolishion.Yes I know what smothering is,I've actually boxed.What senior said it that "all" GGG does is smother.Not that sometimes he does.That's what I had an issue with.He k O s guys like Tyson did.

Ward will beat GGG, also Klitchko will beat Ward!

Wrong, again. It was Chad's choice. Boxers choose their weight and we don't need to pander to them as victims of their decisions. Chad was much larger than Ward in the ring so don't act as if there's no advantage to cutting (ask Canelo about that).
There's quotes of Chad saying he would do it at 168 and the Ice Man even said Chad was the FIRST one to throw out the idea. Scully told Yahoo! Sports. "But after we beat Hopkins, I was standing next to him in the ring when he was interviewed by Kellerman and he said he wanted to fight Ward at 168. I was like, 'OK. That's interesting.' But he said it and it was the first time I'd heard it."
You can't seem to come to terms with the truth so I think we're done here.

So I guess Dawson was lying in his interview about asking for 170.My eyes weren't lying in seeing a weight drained fighter.So Dawson did it to himself.You have a point because I said that about Brook.Just don't be a hypocrite saying that Ward ,whos bigger than GGG should've had the luxury of fighting him at 168 or its ducking then.If Ward wouldn't go up for Dawson why should GGG have gone up for Ward.But somehow in this case its ducking Ward.

Interestingly enough, he said that Ward would beat GGG; he didn't say that Little Floyd would beat GGG - he knows better:

GGG would beat the hell out of Little Floyd!

[DAVID READ]

Golovkin is the best middleweight in the world and Ward is probably the best light heavy, so yes, Ward probably would beat Golovkin

[Gillie]

....and the Mayweather family's obsession with GGG continues!!

[turnedup]

I love when fighters or their associated team members say shh like this, it's like one step short shy of saying "so and so would **** my chick better." Kovalev and Ward have each other as a problem, time for people to let the Ward V Golovkin go, that boat sailed nearly two years ago now.

Ward would get NO credit, just like after 5 weight divisions Floyd got none. Do you really think golovkin deserves credit? He hasn't accomplished anything.
