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

[JayCho]

How did it go down when Khan fought Canelo, Virgil?

[Butch.McRae]

Virgil just ****ing with people here, trying to grab a headline or two lol Ward is way too small. But he could bring some light to the CW division. Those fighters could use some attention.

[Poppo168]

Ward would be KO'd in the first round & it would be brutal

[Zaryu]

So basically, and oversimplifying it, Hunter feels pretty good about Ward beating bigger men with stamina problems.

[Bronx2245]

Number one, Andre Ward is no Roy Jones Jr. Number two, Anthony Joshua is no John Ruiz! It all depends on how long Ward intends to fight. Roy was never the same when he came back to 175, so if Dre moves up to fight Joshua, then I think it's his last fight! It would be a big money fight (CASH OUT), and a legacy defining win if he could pull it off! I would much rather see Ward vs. Golovkin @ 170!

okay then lets get this thing on! people say 'oh sanchez said anyone at 154-168' can get it, well hunters just said the same thing basically by calling out the best heavyweight. so yeah, make the fight....

It was gigi himself who just said that again weeks ago,this time he doubled down on the ******ation.
Where were you? Did you miss the press conference too where he said hes ducking jacobs for life & wont stay at 160 now that charlos his next mando?

[elfag]

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

AJ's nuts are like chest level for ward, he just has to punch straight ahead to win this fight.

Team ward stole Vodkas from Kovalev Camp and now vomiting ****

[ShoulderRoll]

I agree with Virgil. Joshua is very slow compared to Ward, and gasses out halfway through, similar to post-meldonium-ban Kovalev. Ward already walks around at 200 pounds, and with the right PEDs, he can get up to 220 no problem just like we saw him bulk up good for the Kovalev rematch, and be able to take Kovalev's best shots without getting hurt even though Paul Smith rocked Ward just two years ago.

If Ward can create an elite light heavyweight chin out of thin air over just a year's time, then he can create a decent heavyweight chin too, with the right mixture of things. With his speed advantage over Joshua, Joshua would probably only catch him half-clean a handful of times in the fight, and at 220 with a new chemical chin, Ward could probably take those shots.

It's a 50/50 fight, and it's the only fight I would watch with Ward in it after last night. There's a curiosity factor, and a dare to be great factor, that could make up for the bull**** last night. Anything else is a step backwards.

You are aware that Ward tested with VADA for last night's fight, right?

[Liondw]

That could be something to watch, but if Joshua clips him that could be it. Ward hurt Kovalev with a good right hand but the ending was ridiculous and inconclusive. Kovalev crouched down to the lower rope because he got hit with a blatant low blow. This is the kind of thing that damages boxing, endings like this.
