Ward won the gold medal in Athens at the Olympic LHW weight class of 178 lbs. How would he do at 175 lbs. against Bernard Hopkins?
He would De-Thrown Hopkins and Hopkins is my favorite fighter, but the torch was passed tonight to Ward, it's Ward's time!!!
Hopkins. Shoot, half of what worked for Ward tonight is patterned off of Hopkins, so you KNOW the old man would be ready for all of that junk. Dawson is B-Pops kryptonite, not Ward.
I like Ward a lot and I think he is now a star in the makings, but he loses to Hopkins. By the time the Super Six is over, things might be different, though.
