    Golovkin at 160 Gennady takes him out,but not at Wards weight think Ward would be to strong,if they met at say 164 would be a huge fight and in my Book 50/50

    I see a classic to come! Ward-GGG will be huge! But GGG can fight winner of Sexy Sergio-Junior or Ward. All good fights but Golovkin smashes them all inside of 8.

    Based on what or is this just wishful thinking? It will take more than stoping a guy like Proska before you say he will stop them all inside 8. Especially if you think he will do that to Ward you're setting yourself up for failure if you truly believe that.

    Golovkin is slower and faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar smaller, i'd no longer be a fan of Ward if that fight happened.

    I don't really understand the logic behind your assertion that he wouldn't hit as hard at 168.. are you saying his power will have less effect on a man of wards size/weight or somehow he will magically go backwards in punching power because he comes in anywhere between 1 & 8 lbs heavier than his normal weigh in (which most likely requires a bit of dehydrating anyway like most pros) and most likely getting in the ring at his normal ring weight regardless just without the stress of having to rehydrate in 24 hours? I just don't buy into the "blown up" softer punching theory unless a guy has to add a significant amount of muscle mass to jump multiple weight classes.

    Ward beats him, A better more evenly matched fight is Golovin vs Dirrell

    I think Ginnady Golovkin is going to emerge is the top man at 160, but I don't think he beats Andre Ward.

    I think I just heard Dan Goosen shriek from across the country as I read this.

    as of right now? no, too inexperienced. Give him some time to grow as a fighter and if he constitently beat top comp in the manner in which he's dismantling his comp now then its a 50/50 fight

    Kessler, Froch, and AA all have good power too...I don't see how GGG beats Ward.
