Honestly, if GGG ever plans on fighting Ward, he should do it now.

    Ward is coming off a long lay off and this may be GGG's only opportunity to beat Ward.

    Ward might be rusty and it's possible he gets stopped in this fight.

    If GGG loses, but it's a competitive fight, it doesn't really take away much from GGG's legacy as Ward is considered the second best, if not the best, PFP fighter in the game and already has a solid if not Hall of Fame legacy by dominating the super middleweight division.

    If I were GGG and on GGG's team, I would definitely consider this option.

    No, he'll fight Ward when he can't make weight anymore.

    Probably be a couple of years from now

    In an ideal world yes. I don't think he will have that luxury

    Who else is going to fight him?

    We all know that Quillin won't go anywhere near the guy.

    Cotto has made it clear that he doesn't want any part of him.

    Chavez backed out.

    So, who else is there?

    Might as well try and catch Ward while Ward is coming off a long lay off.

    Ward ain't getting any younger.

    Last nights fight was a joke, fighting Ward would prove that.

    Even GGG knows the money is with Canelo and Cotto. Ward is not in the drivers seat the less he fights

    Cotto and Canelo are busy and will not be looking to fight GGG anytime soon. They will probably fight a rubber match

    Dude, hypothetically..they will fight each other in May and GGG will be on te undercard.

    Canelo vs GGG is where it's at. Bob knows this and it will happen within a year.

    That leaves Ward out..way out

    Golovkin doesn't need Ward, his popularity is burgeoning, Ward is falling away to irrelevance.

    I agree. But it won't happen. Way, way too high risk for golovkin, with little reward when he loses. I seriously doubt they'll ever fight

    I would make Ward favourite. He will make the fight ugly and wont get caught with big shots. He will frustrate the life out of GGG.

    :deal

    thats how i see it going as well but I don't want to see it. Who wants to see a hugfest from Ward

    Though I used to think that GGG had no chance against Ward but I'm starting to feel that GGG could catch Ward and KO him but just not likely.

    The only thing people are basing a possible win by GGG over Ward is his power. Ward has been in the ring with some heavy hitters and he's still undefeated. Don't sleep on the fact that Ward has decent pop and can and will knock a fighter out. I like Trip G but my money is on Ward because I think his skills are superior and I wouldn't rule out a stoppage of Trip G.

    If Andre Ward plans on fighting again he should do it soon
