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

[lowblows420]

Ward is like "really Virgil? Just one big right hand down the pipe? Thru Joshua's nuts? "

[Real King Kong]

Joshua? There's a reason roy jones picked ruiz...stay in your lane andre.

This is crazy talk lol..... stop this nonsense.

This is what we like to call, biting off more than you can chew. Maybbeeeeeeeee Parker would be tenable but Joshua is actually skilled and freaking enormous.

Andre Ward is Boxing's best champion no argument there

Black week Weaks helped out soul Bro Andre Ward ****** time
What's a brother to do? Week Weaks the ref had to help colored Andre Ward out and Week Weaks came thru in Al Sharpton fashion hosing the commie Kovalev again. That is America and that is fair. God Bless America and Freedom again and again. Let Kovie go back to Russia and cry on wee *****'s shoulder?? God bless Weak Weaks and his unfair decision. Let a champ go out like a true Champion should.

Hunter tries to talk clever.You've only got to listen to what he say's........the man's a deluded idiot.

Let me tell Virgil something .AJ. would laugh at you like we all do.

AJ would walk straight through Ward within seconds .Get a grip you deluded clown!

Fight a cruiserweight titlist like Mairis Briedis or Murat Gassiev first. If you get past one of these undefeated CW beltholders then maybe I can believe you have a shot at AJ. I don't see what merits Ward a shot at the heavyweight champion now. He might be p4p the best but AJ is the baddest man on the planet right now (since Fury snorted more coke than a dragged up hoya). Everyone is calling for AJ. If you actually want to get a shot at AJ then prove you belong in there. Take out a CW champion and you will validate yourself as a threat. Right now this talk is just premature. AJ shouldn't fight you til you prove yourself to be a formidable threat for a HW.

Actually it doesnt !

McGregor has1% chance bc he is physically stronger and has reach .

Ward has ZERO chance to overcome such what would be an obvious mismatch and just ANOTHER guy looking for a $$$ day,in what wouldn't go past rnd 1 ,unless Joshua let it .

You believe McGregor to be physically stronger then Floyd? We will see when they go to the clinch who is physically stronger. Floyd has always been the physically stronger guy in the clinch. Maidana & Cotto were the only guys that gave him problems there. McGregor isn't skilled or a professional boxer but is somewhat bigger than Floyd. Ward is atleast not 0-0 but way smaller. Both seem ludicrous. One ridiculous fight actually got made.

I sort of see where Hunter is coming from. He's thinking that Ward will be too quick, too small, and too slick for Joshua to land any of his power shots, and he's probably think Anthony's body will be very much available for Ward to tee off on. There's also the fact that Anthony Joshua has major stamina issues and Andre on the other hand is the exact opposite.

In THEORY I can see an argument for Ward. But in practice man it just seems out of this world crazy. Like something Jet Li would accomplish in one of his totally unrealistic movies.

This probably is what they're thinking. Problem is, even if Joshua can't land cleanly he can still sap Ward's energy just by steady pressure..., and if they ever clinch, Andre will NOT be the one that is draining Joshua's energy...Quite the opposite. Andre should stay away from Joshua.

Joshua's stamina issues are somewhat overplayed imo, and predominantly stemmed from coming in far too heavy against Klitschko. Something he himself has said was an issue and won't happen again.

Beyond that, Joshua has much quicker hands than Ward and an 11 inch reach advantage so back on planet earth there is literally no way that Ward would be able to avoid being caught.

Ward has no chance against any of the heavyweights, including Parker whom usually comes in at around 240 pounds and also throws quick punches (questionable power though, but not unreasonable to think it's more power than a light heavyweight could handle).

[Earl-Hickey]

Way too much size difference. Ward might be able to hit and run for a few rounds but literally anything joshua lands will be extremely damaging.

Joshua would likely make ward move constantly for a few rounds then as soon as his pace drops take him out with a couple of jabs.

And thats not bashing ward but joshua is a monster and ward is a normal sized man
