Ward or Golovkin vs a Heavyweight. Who does better?

[_Maxi]

So... your life depends on the outcome. And there's one heavyweight, a good one, top10, who will fight Ward or Golovkin, you choose who.

If your guy is embarrased and KOed, you die.
If your guy wins or makes it an even fight, you survive.

Who do you choose and why?

Depends on the heavyweight.

Oh come on. I said a top 10 heavyweight.

Ward. Golovkin would be so small next to HWs it wouldn't even be funny. Ward vs Parker for example could be an interesting fight

[Redd Foxx]

Some might look at this as, "who is the bigger puncher", but it all comes down to who can get out of the way of punches while still scoring. So, it's easily Ward. He's the larger, quicker guy. But, it's a silly scenario and doesn't take anything away from Golovkin to say he's not going to fight a HW as well as a LHW.

Pretty much this. Just looking at their styles tells you all you need to know. I mean if you fight a taller and longer man, than odds are that if you are going to have success, you need to get inside. That is'nt Golovkin.

Ward because he's bigger, quicker and gets hit less

Depends on the heavyweight. There are different top10 heavyweights.

However at this time.. I'm gonna go against the grain and say Golovkin for 2 reasons:
1) Chances of either guy surviving for 12 rounds against a legit HW are very, very low. At least having a puncher's chance would increase the odds.
2) Ward is not the same fighter he was 5 years ago. He's not nearly as mobile as he was. The dude eats a lot of shots nowadays, especially jabs. Barrera landed a ton of jabs on him, and Kovalev dominated the first half of the fight with jabs. Eating HW jabs for 12 rounds is just not gonna happen.

If this question was posed in 2011, I'd say Ward.

[Hatesrats]

Ward, he has the style to compete with anyone.
GEE's punches would be nothing to a HW.

[Cutthroat]

ggg wouldn't even last 5 rounds with Haye. Forget HW, he wouldn't even make it at LHW.

Let's not forget the only man to stop iron chinned Chavez Jr. is a guy with a 50% KO ratio at LHW, Fonfara. Anybody think ggg has a better chin than Chavez Jr.?
