    Or disagree? I have a stomach-feeling intuition that Andy will lose a fight next year, and not necessearily against top opposition. I'm not saying Pavlik will beat him (he could, he's very live and teak tough) but I think Andrew is due for a loss,

    call it a gut feeling or fate, but I predict Andre ward will lose a fight and become sad in 2013 what do you boxing experts think:-((

    I really don't see who should trouble him.. Kessler and Froch are both very good fighters, but neither of them stood a chance. And I don't really see anyone from 160-175 that is much better than Kessler or Froch.

    I don't like Ward, but I can't see him loose in 2013.
    Only a lucky punch would take him down, and I really doubt that.

    Anything can happen, especially since he doesn't have the greatest chin, but i would favor him hugely over anyone 168-175.

    No. As long as he keeps draining opponents, cherrypicking hasbeens and fighting at home with his judges and referees, I doubt he'll lose

    Soon as he steps up he will! Dirrell probably stops him, Dawson cruises past him at 175, Cloud and Pascal plainly hit too hard for him and Chavez Jr is too strong which is Wards greatest strength!

    Hes not gonna fight any of these though unfortuantely.

    At 175 he'd be fighting bigger guys so while it's no sure thing, there'll be a feasible chance. I thought Froch might be able to hurt him, but apart from gassing in the last few rounds Ward was fine. So Ward needs to prove himself in Nottingham now

    Don't see it. Unless he gets caught with a bomb. His opponents have a punchers chance. Can't see anyone from 168-175 winning a decision against him.

    Disagree.

    Far crazier things have happened, but I'd make Ward an overwhelming favorite over everybody from 160-175.

    Martinez, Golovkin, Chavez Jr, Pavlik, Oosthuizen, DeGale, Dirrell, Froch, Bute, Kessler, Dawson at 175, Hopkins, Campillo, Cloud, Sillakh, Grachev, Pascal, Cleverly, Erdei, Shumenov...you name it, I think Ward beats them handily. It helps that he prepares well and always displays great mental focus and determination. Makes the chances of suffering an upset loss even lower.

    If he keeps fighting the likes of drained Dawson and hungover Pavlik, he'll be absolutely fine
