Saul Alvarez vs Andre 'S.O.G.' Ward

[The Big Dunn]

This is obviously the end game for team Canelo so lets get the discussion started off right!

Who do you got lads?

Do you mean in their primes or right now.

In their primes-Ward without question. If they fought now, Canelo because Ward has been retired for a while and obviously is older. He might not even be able to make 168.

I had the same/similar thought... "Hmm, maybe this brings Andre Ward back for one more"... when I heard Canelo was eyeing Kovalev/LHW.

Can't call it... voted for a "Draw"

[Curtis Harper]

Pretty much a one sided thrashing. Ward 1st to stop Nelo.

[Joe Beamish]

An easy case of "good big guy" beats "good smaller guy."

[Htown-Finest]

168 ward by narrow decision . Ward would drain himself
175 ward by...... a boxing clinic

Canelo has a chance

Ward style imo is one of most difficult styles to beat

[KING MEAT]

couldnt take out jacobs out. i doubt canelo has power to hurt SOG.

If it reaches the final bell, Canelo by way of highway robbery.

right now. canelo's camp is interested in 175, also Oscar said he wants Ward.

Ward would use his size as the bigger man and try to turn it into a brawl...but even at 175 I don't necessarily think he stops Canelo...I think Ward's best talent in a way was his ability to muck up rounds and make them hard to score...and since he fought most of his fights at home it was a good strategy in a way, because he would always get the rounds he needed to win on the cards...as someone who watched a lot of his fights, I just never really saw the clear boxing skills/separation that I would see from Lara, Mayweather GGG or other fighters in their fights in a lot of rounds.

So in that way...honestly a lot of it for me comes down to who is reffing and who is judging...and what weight/what era/version of each fighter. Canelo now is his prime, Ward is not.

Even now at 175, I think most of the rounds are 'close' rounds and it will probably go 12...so people will probably see what they want to see.

Good fight that Ward would break from retiring for

Ward puts on a clinic
