Don’t come back at 35 and out for three years! You will get a pay check but EVERYTHING else will be done to you to insure their victory. No Doubt at your age you are on their hit list !!
While I'd favor Ward to beat Canelo because of the style matchup there is a reason Hunter has said numerous times that he only would advise Ward the fight if the were tot ake 2 tune up fights.
Most of the people are making it look like a 2 year retired Ward is gonna school Canelo and that imho is not the case.
Take a look at Breadman's recent mailbag, it's not an easy fight for Ward but he would be the favorite thou.
Ward won't come back because even though he would outbox Canelo, he can't KO/TKO Canelo, which means he'll get robbed on the scorecards.
Ward's best chance would be if he managed to cut Canelo bad and then got a doctor stoppage, which is much easier said than done.
I think the Ward in Ward/Kovalev 2 would stop Canelo, maybe even the Ward in Ward/Kovalev 1.
Canelo has serious stamina issues, he's just very good at managing them. If Canelo didn't have stamina issues he would have whitewashed GGG in both fights (actually he would have stopped GGG in the second fight), but he constantly has to rest and manage his stamina throughout the fight, which is why he fights with GGG ended being close despite Canelo quite CLEARLY being the more skilled fighter both defensively and offensively.
Ward would have steamrolled Canelo in the second half of the fight. Ward has endless stamina and he makes you fight like hell every second of every round while sucking your stamina dry with mean body shots and brawling tactics.
Canelo wouldn't last.
But if 35 year old Ward comes out of retirement and jumps straight into a Canelo fight, I don't see him winning.
