Comments Thread For: Hunter: I Want Ward To Face Anthony Joshua - He Can Outbox Him!

[allstar]

Let's get real here..

Ward is 6' ?
Mike Tyson is listed at 5'10"?

I think Ward could put on 20-30 pounds of muscle in a year's time and could be a legit heavyweight..

Granted Tyson is considered one of the GOATs of this sport, a different body type and has "**** you" power but Andre is no bum.

I would not advise Ward to do this but it can be done.

weve seen how fncked rjj career went after he went up and went back down.

not worth it.

Roy Jones Jr - 5'11" - 74" reach
John Ruiz - 6'2" - 78" reach
3" difference in height, 4" difference in reach

Andre Ward - 6' or 6'1" - 71" reach (wiki has him as 6'1", Boxrec at 6')
Anthony Joshua - 6'6" - 82" reach
5-6" difference in height, 11" difference in reach

Hunter is looking too much into Joshua's weaknesses shown vs Wlad, who's also a giant and is an athletic guy for his size and is also powerful. He has to come down from there, choose someone close to Ward' physical attributes. It's ambitious but it's worse than Kell Brook fighting GGG.

Joseph Parker is also huge, but closer to Ward and he is the WBO champ. I'd say he's the best one to go after. Fury, Joshua, or Wilder are way too much.

Good call by Ward.....will be easier to land those low blows ....however joshua's height will make it difficult for Ward to use his headbutt attack.

I like Andre, I really do, which is why I don't want to see this fight. AJ might literally kill the man.

After being gassed for 5 and a half rounds.

Was he gassed or just conserving energy. The fact he managed to have a second wind is a testament to his conditioning. Had he been kod I would've agreed but like I said major stamina issues is a reach

Ward is the perfect height for today's Heavy weights, he can punch them all in the nuts without looking like he actually means it. In fact, he could headbutt Wilder's balls!

Wards Roc Nation deal is finished.. So basically they are calling out Joshua to remain relevant so they can get a lucrative deal with Bob Arum.

Only person reaching here is you.

Joshua was so gassed he couldn't even lift his hands up to put up a guard. His hands were down, his toungue was sticking out, his chest was heaving, he was stumbling all over the place and barely managing a clinch at times.

Seriously, which fight were you watching?

If you gas out due to "massive stamina issues" you don't end up knocking your opponent out.
