Does the Ward vs Abraham fight give us some clues for Ward vs GGG?

    Abraham is similar in size to Golovkin with similar power. With Ward's crouch stance the height difference really wasn't that much. Abraham gave Ward some trouble this fight, despite his inferior skill set to Golovkin.

    Abraham doesn't have the workrate of GGG. He boxes in short spurts, while hiding behind his guard for most of the fight. Abraham seems much slower, too.

    He's inferior all around, yet he gave Ward troubles. MAYBE.. He's a bit stronger than GGG in the clinch, that would be all.
