I haven't seen Ward as a 175 pounder, so I'm not sure how he will handle 175 pound power (cue the trolls and his one knockdown...). But, I do know that power has to land to be effective. Based on what limited video I've seen of Foster, he would eventually land. In a case of one guy can knock out the other but not vice versa, I tend to take the guy with KO capacity.
At 168 in Oakland (which is the only way this fight would happen), I'd favour Ward, he's very proven at 168 in Oakland, provided Foster is weakened by the weight loss At 175? We'll have to see if Ward ever moves up, how he'll settle in at that weight.
Ridiculous matchup. Foster would outdo Ward from the outside with his jab and then knock him senseless with a clean power shot or two. Ward wouldn't beat LHW monsters like Spinks, Foster, Saad, etc.
So we're talking about Ward fighting in a higher weight class than he's ever fought in before against one of the all time greats and hardest p4p punchers of all time in that weight class and yet some people actually think Ward wins. This is how you know you can't take anything seriously on here, a bunch of 15yr olds who started watching boxing in 2010.
Can I see Ward fight at 175 one time before he gets matched up with one of its ATG champions, please?
