Comments Thread For: Do We Believe Andre Ward Can Beat Anthony Joshua?

I guess he could headbutt AJ in the nuts.

If Ward is serious he should try himslef at cruiser.

Lets see what he could do against Usyk. Usyk would actually box him for 12.

Ward could beat a lesser and smaller HW, but the likes of AJ would drop him with a jab, not a chance he does anything to AJ.

Usyk would box him for 12? Here we go again lol

Ward could weigh-in about 215, under 15% bodyfat, and try to take Joshua into the deep waters, but Joshua has shown us that he still has power in the championship rounds. I would much rather see Ward weigh-in @ 170, under 10% bodyfat, and fight Gennady Golovkin! However, to be honest, neither Ward, nor GGG, are "superstars" like Anthony Joshua! You'll never see 90,000 in attendance for Ward or GGG, even if they were fighting each other! So if Ward is looking for a big, cash-out opportunity, AJ is the ticket!

They aren't serious. Ward always said it has to "be the right heavyweight "

Lost the first fight to Kova and was losing the 2nd fight going into that 8th round, which shouldn't haven't been stopped and Ward should have been deducted a point for a low blow and Kova given 5 minutes to recover...

That being said - he's going to beat Joshua? Ward doesn't move around the ring well like a Floyd or Ali - he clinches. He would get KO'd in one or two rounds - he barely signed for Kova and would never take a risky fight - stop posting ****** articles like this

Elaborate please.

Here we go again what?

Are you saying Ward would KO Usyk lol? No chance Ward hurts Usyk, Usyk got a good beard and has been hit by massive men flush.

I personally don't think Ward would beat Usyk but I would give him a chance.

haha lol obviously not and will never happen.

Big thing with guys like Charles, Tunney and RJJ is they were pure outboxers. Or in Charles' case he could be a pure outboxer if he chose to be. If they didnt want to engage with their opponent they had the athleticism and speed to stay away for an entire fight if they wanted. Billy Conn also who outboxed Louis for 13rnds had exceptional outfighting ability, even then one mistake and he was wiped out.

Ward isnt that type of fighter. If the fight moved inside then Joshua would throw Ward around like a ragdoll. He did it to Klitschko so there is no doubt he would do it to Ward.

I think Ward understands this from the interviews Ive seen. He says its just "Virg being Virg, bigging up his guy"

yeah and also ruiz,dempsey or marciano weren't 6'6, 250 animals with life ending power in both hands.

They better be joking.

I was all set to say this was a bad but then I read all the negative comments I changed my mind. Ward can make a run at HW . He already possess a physically grueling style that couid help him moving up. Joshua would be difficult because he's such powerful fighter and much bigger than Ward but I've learned not to discount him. I see a lot of people are still learning it's a bad idea to doubt him.
