    What do you think the result would be with Andre Ward vs The following at SMW?

    Joe Calzaghe
    James Toney
    Roy Jones Jnr
    Chris Eubank Sr
    Nigel Benn
    Michael Watson
    Steve Collins
    Mike McCallum
    Iran Barkley
    Gerald McClellan
    Michael Nunn
    Sugar Ray Leonard
    Tommy Hearns
    Chong-Pal Park
    Murray Sutherland

    I only added Park and Sutherland as they were the first 2 SMW champions.

    Joe Calzaghe: Calzaghe very close SD
    James Toney: 50/50 fight, depends which Toney shows up
    Roy Jones Jnr: Jones late TKO
    Chris Eubank Sr: Ward wide UD
    Nigel Benn: Benn has a slim puncher's chance but 9 out of 10 Ward wide UD
    Michael Watson: Ward wide UD
    Steve Collins: Ward wide UD
    Mike McCallum: Ward close but clear UD
    Iran Barkley: Ward Wide UD, maybe even late stoppage.
    Gerald McClellan: Either McClellan early KO or Ward Wide UD, I think the latter
    Michael Nunn: Ward Close but clear UD
    Sugar Ray Leonard: Ward wide UD
    Tommy Hearns: Ward close UD
    Chong-Pal Park: Ward mid-late round KO
    Murray Sutherland: Ward Wide UD

    McCallum was too small and old in '93. Leonard and Hearns were too small and old. Ward won the Olympics at a hard 178lbs. Barkley's size and relentlessness would cause him fits.

    I also feel Ward has the movement and ring generalship to really cancel out Toney, winning 10ish close rounds out of 12.

    IF Ward moved (a lot), yes. If he came at Eubank and tried to outhussle him, he isn't a natural pressure fighter and would be countered and outboxed by Eubank.

    If Ward tried pressuring Eubank, he doesn't have the come-forward rythm to beat him. For me Eubank's outboxing of Watson in the first half of their first fight was more impressive than Ward's outboxing of Froch early on, but styles and attributes make fights and Eubank didn't have good balance on the front foot at all and Andre can move.

    (Watson a far superior technician to Froch.)
