    People underestimate the hell out of Wards durability and will, however Ward at 175 was plagued by injuries and wasn't quite as dynamic as he was at 168. Tough fight to call but I just feel like Ward can't be broken by Artur and would win a decision.

      Always wanted to see how Ward would do in the clinch against someone like Beterbiev. Kovalev obviously was never really comfortable unless he was at distance. Artur would get rough as **** on the inside if he had to and is strong as an ox. He can generate great power even with short distances. Ward would have to be on his game the whole night.

        That tells you all you need to know.
        No it doesn’t...Ward had been talking about the Kovalev fights being the end of his career before..he was already in a place of retiring.

        Ward would pose a big challenge for Beterbiev and Wards foot speed and Hand speed would really give him problems...that plus Wards really diverse hi-low mix ups would keep Artur guessing

          Exactly
          The guy is a great boxer , well proportioned in every sense
          The only problem I can find is he relies on his power , which we all know is devastating , but forgets sometimes to put the extra effort to get there
          Trying to say is he’ll lose rounds cause he knows his opponent is one punch away

              It's actually a better resume than Ward has at 175

                  So why did Ward retire again ?
                  King Artur is not one dimensional
                  Ward ain’t wiping chit , if anything Beterbiev catches him before the end
                  Ward would be taking a lot of punishment in that fight

                  They're nothing alike style wise, not to mention Beterbiev doesn't drink, he's three years younger nor does he even eat unhealthy. He just trains and goes to bed early and lives a humble family life. He beats Ward down.

                    Beterbiev was supposed to face the "Kovalev" that Ward beat and turned it down because he wasn't ready.

                    Only on boxingscene does this translate to Ward was scared of Beterbiev.

                      I like Ward and all but I don’t see him lasting 12 against Beterbiev. That fight would be an all-star affair for most rough house tactics ever used
