    This is the only fight i would make a 50-50 everyone else i would not be worried about.

    I am GGGs biggest fan but against ward this would of been a very bad style match up i still think GGG would win but it would be too close to call.

    Hopefully this fight still can happen in the future, if ward beats kovalev this fight would just get even bigger.

    You won't have the usual team here to back you up on this one. They would have to admit that Golovkin can't beat Ward and that's admitting that a Black man is superior to the beloved Great Hope Golovkin.

    They will diss Kovalev, Lomachencko, Povetkin and anyone else. But "NEVER" will they admit that the biggest fraud since white Jesus can beat beat by Ward.

    You dont have to be worried,fight will never happen because Ward will never agree to go down to 164.

    So aside from Ward, you think he'd clean up at 175?

    Ward would have dismantled GGG in clinical fashion. The Ham Man knew it

    I think GGG would give Ward hell. I'd favor Ward but it would a painful win

    Ward-GGG is not 50/50, Ward's far too big and too skilled, it'd be about 70/30 for Ward if not more IMO.

    GGG wouldn't beat Ward unless he weight drained him to within an inch of his life.

    Discounting other 175 fighters, then yes. Ward, for me, is the only one who could beat him. I think DeGale and Andrade could give him problems as he isn't particularly quick and they have styles that could give anyone problems.

    Just the fact that people evaluate would LHW win against MW tells a lot which fighter is better.

    The fight itself is 50/50 but not because of skills. Ward has considerable reach and weight advantage plus his style is very negative, based on spoiling, hugging and head butting.

    You better be worried about Kell Book. This fight has cherry pick gone bad, written all over it.

    Ward is 1-0-0 at LHW.

    And GGG would also beat the only guy Ward beat at the weight.

    Ward is a natural 168 pounder. GGG wanted badly to fight 168ers Froch and Chavez.

    The weight has nothing to do with it. Ward is just better than GGG

    People I would expect to beat Golovkin:

    DeGale
    Ward
    Kovalev
    Hopkins

    Unsure about Stevenson. Unsure about Canelo. Unsure about Lara.

    Really hope Brook turns the trick.

    Ward is a huge threat to Golovkin but I wouldn't really be surprised if Golovkin beat Ward either. Both guys are very skilled and whilst Ward is bigger and faster, Golovkin is probably just as strong and even more powerful.

    The annoying thing is many of Golovkin's fans seem to think he would beat everyone at 168 but for some reason very few of them actually seem to want to see him actually do it.
