Also Beterbiev is a good inside fighter, good body puncher and can generation so much Power on Short Shots on the Inside

    Ward was Tough and a very High In Ring IQ and can make adjustments to different style as well so he would likely find a way to Out-Box Beterbiev
    I've never in my life seen a fighter generate power in such a short range like Beterbiev does.

      Ward was rocked on more than one occasion early in his career and it scared him into that grapple style the same way Tua scared Ruiz. He was chinny. People forget about this because after Boone he never really absorbed another bomb thanks to the style change.

        Tua didn't scare Ruiz. Tua gave Ruiz brain damage That's like saying Mercer scared Morrison

          He scared Ruiz into grappling in future bouts is what I was saying. Space equaled danger in his eyes following that fight. He was turned into huggy bear.

            Beterbiev and Bivol are great light heavyweights in my opinion and better than Ward and Kovalev ever were. Ward would beat some of the good light heavyweights but not those two in my opinion.

                Ward beats both. He was a truly special talent.

                Bivol and Bertebiev are just the latest overhyped guys with the Eastern euro mistique

                  So there's no way Ward was just in a good place mentally, physically, and career wise. He just had to be ducking someone.

                  Again, what was your motivation for making that post?
