    Newbie to a message board but not to the sport. Ward at best would win a split decision. He is not dominating this guy. I think his chin is suspect and would have a hard time with Gennady's work rate. He is a much more polished boxer than a guy like Froch.

    And how can you say Triple Duck when Ward ducks Kovalev and Stevenson? There are no fights for him at 168. Nobody cares.

    :lol::rofl:lol:

    Yet you have no problem with PBF moving up to fight GGG at least keep it real.

    I would love to see Ward fight Kovalev at 175 I think Ward would school the **** outta him. There's level;s to this stuff and Ward is on a different level than Kovalev is.

    Isn't Kovalev a Light Heavyweight?

    I don't care if they fight. Both are at the top of their divisions. I just want to see GGG prove himself. The second he does, I'll be the first to support him. Not giving him any fantasy wins, or premature praise though.

    Suspect chin but has faced Froch, Kessler and Abraham all of which can bang and was never hurt by any of them.:deal You talk about his chin because you know damn well GGG can't beat Ward without koing him. It's a similar thing when it comes to PBF this guy will KO because deep down they know he can't win without one. Skills pay the bills and Ward is a better boxer than GGG is and that's the reason why his supporters don't want anything to do with Ward period, if they thought GGG would win they would be calling for this fight everyday like Kovalev fans do with Stevenson.:deal

    You should stop smoking the crack.

    There is *nothing* special about Triple Duck. He fights in the typical come forward stand straight up Eastern European style. These are the types of guys Ward eats for lunch.

    We're discussing professional Boxing, what he weighed as an amateur means absolutely nothing here.

    so what if ggg loses to ward he is a great fighter.his fans won't just disappear only the fake ass bandwagon fans will.Pacquiao got ko'd cotto has been ko'd hopkins has lost a bunch of times and their careers are not over because of one loss.people need to stop acting like one loss is the end of the world.I want golovkin vs ward all boxing fans should too.

    :deal

    Golovkin wouldn't lay a glove on Ward. His defense is WAY too good for a plodder like Triple Duck to land anything of significance...

    For the record, I'm a Golovkin fan (what's not to like). And I DO want to see this fight. I like a lot of fighters, and I don't care if they win or lose. I just want to see the best fights, and this would be a great one.
