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

[Zaryu]

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

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

[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.

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

[Canelo and GGG]

[Nomadic]

Definitely suicide and career ending.

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.

Cue up the Kendrick, be humble sit down.

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.

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....
