    Not a stylistic comparison but Hopkins-Pavlik comes to mind.

    Canelo is obviously far more skilled than Pavlik...

      Ward could KO Canelo, beat all the other title holders at LH, and still his haters would **** all over it.

        "inside fighting" can easily be controlled by the ref.

          Ward couldn't KO Alexander Brand.

            Love how everyone wants him to fight a retired guy. Canelo fans = the old Golovkin fans. Just as ******. Just as annoying.
            Lol are you positive Canelo fans are calling for it?

            We're not seeing the same thing.

              why no one calling for Andre vs Saul?

              Highly dominant former champ vs fighter making waves through weight classes

              Mayweather was better than Ward, but Alvarez is more skilled than pacquiao. So it all levels out.

              Everybody benefits from this superfight including the fans. 1st half of 2021 would be perfect.

              Can Ward still make 175.
              How do the fans benefit from it?

                Ward retired at a relatively young age. He still had about 2-3 big fights left in him imo. I was disappointed to see him go, but he was adamant. Now i'd be disappointed to see him return.

                  Don't think Ward would take it, if he had to take the usual Oscar fix these last few years.
                  So prob won't happen.

                      For the record I'm a fan of BOTH guys.

                      You don't want to see two guys with great skills go at it?

                      I'm not calling for the fight to happen IMMEDIATELY.

                      Let Ward get in the groove next year. Tuneup followed by a title match with whoever.
