    Be specific: an inch taller, 1" in reach-both can come in same weight
    Your facts don't add up

    Ward by UD... Ward is one of the best spoilers I've seen so far. Ward would keep his distance... Jump in... Hit GGG with 1-2 shots... Hold hit hold... Wards inside game is damn effective!!

    I think it's a competitive fight but I think Ward would win via UD by smothering GGG inside, using his size advantage and using "veteran tactics".

    ward has the better competition regularly and yet is younger (I think).

    Wards predigree, plus wiehgt advantage, plus age advantage, are both greater.

    ward survives early onslaught to tie up GGG and win on points by UD or SD.

    Ward loves to dictate his fights holding and smothering and stuff...He would have a snowflakes chance in Hell of dictating His terms against Golovkin...to do that would be Suicide for Him.!!!!

    Have you seen any GGG fights ?

    He starts slow then break you down by making you expend more energy.

    I would expect Ward to have the advantage early, but as he's forced to move around and survive, GGG will come up stronger down the stretch.

    It's Ward early, and GGG later on.

    If Ward isn't penalised for his spoiling tactics then he will get a UD

    I'm pretty convinced Ward outboxes GGG. As good as GGG has looked so far, he's not that fast. And there would be a noticeable size difference. GGG rehydrates to only 171-173 ish. Ward would weigh about 182ish.

    We have seen Ward troubled my some rough house tactics. If Gennady needs to do that, I believe he can. This really is a pick em fight, but due to Ward's inactivity and Golovkins surge, I would pick Triple God.

    Definitely Andre Ward on points .

    Im wondering if ring rust would affect him in his next fight .

    Every fighter is different .

    So a MW can't fight a JMW/WW champ at his weight, but he (MW) has to move up in weight and fight a LHW? You're :nut

    Nah. If anything, it's the opposite. Ward is better at making adjustments.
