    Think I'd give the edge to Johnson in a close one on points. 2 excellent technicians but the career Light-Heavy takes it.

    I'll take the more proven 175 fighter in Johnson. His jab and faster counterpunching gives him the edge but it won't be easy for him due to Ward's defense and spoil tactics.

    I think I’ll go with Johnson by a decision. Andre Ward was truly an exceptional talent but I didn’t see enough of him at 175. Johnson is one of the greatest fighters at that weight all time

    HJ is far more proven. Love Wards awkwardness but HJ is to good overall.

    Johnson all the way. Far better fighter who fought way better opposition.
