    How do you guys think the current Ward does against the LHW Toney, McCallum, Griffin, and a green 178lb Holyfield?

    Yeah I can see that.
    I think he would beat Toney too.

    I think a guy like Ward will always look easier to beat than he really is. Stylistically he is a crafty diffuser.
    Not much flare.

    McCallum was past it at LHW but gives a close account of it.
    Toney can out box him
    Holy can possible make it too rough for him and just push him harder than he wants to be pushed and win on effective aggression.
    Griffith loses

    Really don't see how he beats Toney he wouldn't be able to win on the inside

    He would beat McCallum and Griffen. Why is Griffen in this.. Montel?? Toney? I think he would edge Toney, but that is pickem? Holyfield? Somehow I think that is pickem or leaning toward Evander.

    Haven't really seen Holy at LHW, but Ward outworks and outspeeds the rest. Toney would be the trickiest, but he was too lazy at LHW to beat Ward.

    If James is ready, he kicks Andres ass convincingly. Evander sends him to the hospital.

    I'm surprised people think Holyfield would whoop Ward. He had something like 4 fights at LHW. No way in hell does a 4 fight Holyfield even make it to the 6th rd.
