    It would have been like Floyd vs another Floyd. Both have been very inactive, but it would still be a solid fight if made today. BTW he beat Froch plain and simple.

    Ward doesn't hit hard enough to "actually fight".
    Pushing his arm punches and a shaky chin forces Ward to do a lot of other things.

    Shaky chin? Ward beats everyone because of his elite boxing skills.

    He did something like 88 clinches for no reason in his fight with Kessler. You call that boxing skill?

    Yeah, he's good at not getting hit clean on his shaky chin.
    Probably the second hardest chin to land clean on in boxing(when Ward is active as a fighter).

    Ward isn't handing out career ending beat downs. He wins doing what he has to do=Jab n grab, hold, headbutt, barrell into his opponent's body/knee on knee.
    It is effective for him but complete **** to watch as a boxing fan, imo,

    One would try to hold and clinch while the other one would be running from it!

    Great match up, indeed!
