![]() looking in your archives and finding a video of ward getting tagged is not valid proof he doesn't have a iron chin. Since this time he has won the super 6 faced the best guys in his division who are known to be hard hitters and he has dominated them. His chin is clearly rock solid and there is such a thing as development. I guess you must be the same bum you was 5 years ago as you are now. I could show you a video of ward getting hit by froch after the bell in the middle rounds, ward had his hands by his side and didn't even flinch when froch tagged him in the face. Who at SMW can hurt ward's chin? |

Stylistic nightmare for Ward... I can not think of any way he could beat a Prime Jones at 168.. He has never fought anyone with the speed and power combination of Roy.
And to the OP that said Ward is "too fast" for Roy, are you joking? |

I don't see that. Roy was a bigger SMW than Ward. He was faster and had punchin power in both hands. Ward might be rougher on the inside than Roy but I can't see him gettin inside on Roy and stayin there long enuf for it to matter. Ward might test him a lil bit but I'd definitely take Roy on points.

I disagree. RJJ is just the type of guy that would give Ward hell a superior athlete with faster hands and better reflexes. Think of it as RJJ-Hopkins 1 or RJJ-Toney all over again and we all know how that ended.

But Ward's inside game is too much for Roy, Roy has never dealt with someone as good as Andre SOG Ward. Never dealt with a beast with a vicious inside game like him (Besides Calzaghe and Calzaghe gave him a fucking schooling of a lifetime) Roy CAN'T FIGHT vicious rough inside fighters, that's a fact. |

It would be an outboxing lesson. And it's not like Ward is feather fisted, you can't knock Dawson out with feather fists. He BROKE HIS HAND 6 days before his fight with Froch, and that could be a reason that he couldn't finish that fight. But then again probably not, Froch has an IRON chin. I don't think he's a stylistic matchup for Ward, I think the opposite. Roy has never fought an inside fight with as much skill as Ward (Possibly Calzaghe and he couldn't deal with it at all). |

Ward is too featherfisted to even bother glass jawed RJJ.
And Calzaghe would wipe the snoot out of Ward's nose. |

MVC,
What makes you think 168 Roy is gonna stand there and fight Ward on the inside? One of Roy's best attributes were his amazing foot speed, the way he could get in and out of danger, while unleashing a great deal of damage. James Toney was a defensive master, and was clueless and dumbfounded a lot of the time as to where Jones was even coming from. I see the fight going similar to Jones-Toney... Except I would probably give Ward a couple more rounds than Toney, who I really had to try hard to pick a single round to give him. |

Ward's reflexes/foot speed/Boxing IQ completely trumps RJJ's and you can take that to the bank. And Roy has a GLASS CHIN, I can see him weakening after getting hit with a few left straights by Ward.
He's also a MUCH better technical boxer than he is with great head movement He can movement around the hooks and completely thrash RJJ on the inside. It will be a easy fight for Son of God. RJJ's inside fighting was atrocious man and Ward would find a way to get to him. |
