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

[just the facts]

Ward can't beat Joshua and Loma can't beat Ward, size disparity is too much.

[HURTFEELINGS]

1 year ago, Ward was supposedly so scared of Kov that he would fake an injury to get out of fighting Kov, Ward got knocked down in the SECOND round but decided to get up and fight the guy, so many of you said he would be scared to fight. But he got up and showed true champion heart. Then he was supposed to be scared of Kov again, but he made the bully quit, but Kov didnt get up like Ward did. Ward moved up in weight and challenged a guy with a Undefeated record, only two people had ever gone the distance with...and now THAT guy has 2 loses in a row a UD & TKO. So forgive me if I dont believe SH|T you same people say now never did, but I understand a lot of you guys had Mathysse by decapitation over Swift, Pac would ko Floyd, Ward would lose to Kov TWICE....so some of you havent learned, just because you are stronger (ko power), doesnt mean you are gonna automatically win AND AINT NO BOXER "SCARED" TO FIGHT ANYONE, They all think they can beat ANYBODY. When that power doesnt work, what do you have? A BOXING MATCH and the better "boxer" wins.

on US soil, hitting him 20+ times in the junk... yes otherwise no.

in order for anyone lower than a maxed out cruiserweight to become a heavyweight champ there has to be the right landscape in place. All heavyweights at the moment are good punchers with decent boxing skills. Ward won't beat any heavyweight that is at the top ATM. won't beat Wlad, won't beat fury, Won't beat AJ, won't beat Wilder, won't beat Parker. Unfortunately for Ward there are no Ruizes running around.

If Ward was like a Moorer light heavyweight with that type of power or Holyfield as a cruiserweight then he may have a chance. He is a better boxer than Joshua but just one clean blow from Anthony would probably end the fight. Roy Jones was fantastic against John Ruiz to win a belt/ title but if he fought the then linear champion Lennox Lewis, or Mike Tyson, Roy would have been ko'd badly.

Holyfield id naturally 2 divisions bigger than Ward.

Joshua is a giant with pretty good skills. Holyfield never fought that kind of guy, even Lennox is smaller.

Not a chance

This is an absurd fight, Ward has no chance of surviving 12 rounds with Joshua. And Joshua would never take it because he can make far more money against just about any heavyweight and not risk sending Ward to the hospital.

[Lords]

If he can last the first 4 rounds with out getting knocked out, yes. Joshua will gas and Ward will outbox.

Could be if Ward was as big as haye or Bellew. But he is not.

[mmamachine]

Ward is a truly special fighter. To put him in against Joshua would be ****** though, surely a better option would be to target a weaker champion like Joseph Parker??
Joshua is too big, end of, he's a freaking super heavyweight ffs.

joshua would expose ward.
