    Calzaghe gives him a run. Would be a hell of a fight and would depend a lot on how the referee chooses to manage the fight. All things being even, I'd probably give Ward the edge. Not much of a chance for Ward against prime RJJ. Toney would be tough if focused and I'd fancy Toney if he was in form.

    At MW? Well Ward has never fought there but P4P if he were to fight Marvin Hagler I wouldn't fancy him.

    LHW Roy has a chance of beating him but not a middle weight Roy. The rest lose near shutout UD's.

    Huh? Nigel Benn shuts out Toney and Hagler in UD? Benn is probably one of my top 5 favorite fighters of all time, but that would not happen...

    No need to get aggressive, mate. I still completely disagree though. Especially about Hagler if they were in the same weight class.

    Froch either ends up snogging the canvas ala Manny Pacquiao after nine or ten rounds of a brutal war or manages to make it to the final bell but his face resembles a baboon's ass that a poacher has been hacking at with a machete.

    Ward out boxes him and grabs a hold of him like petrified baby gorilla everytime Benn manages to corner him or get close. Benn's behind on the cards going into the tenth round but he catches Ward with a huge right or left over the top which freezes him and then knocks him out with his follow up attack.

    Golovkin stops Benn sometime between the 8th and 10th after a thrilling encounter.

    Benn at MW was a monster and with GGG it would probably come down to who got who first they both like to attack.

    Ward out points him up until the stoppage but I also have Benn catching him and stopping him.

    Froch is another, who gets who first, Froch is a natural SMW with a solid and better chin than Benn but if Groves can hurt Froch then Benn can too.

    It's funny this ''Ward'' outboxes him theory when Ward barely outboxed a past prime Bika.
    Ward looked amazing against statue Green, he looked excellent against Froch who is the slowest SMW champion in history, but anyone with any speed and movement would change the game, then add in power and aggression, you have Ward looking worse than when he lost against Boone.

    Calzaghe easily outboxes Ward, prime Calzaghe KO's him before his hand injuries.
    Benn destroys him in under 3 rounds and I favour Eubank to crack his fragile mandible while outboxing him.
    Collins would make him look bad too, Ward looks great against people who lack movement which is why he always faces that calibre of opponent.

    i think benn could beat them all.
    ward has never fought anyone like benn with power speed and non stop aggression.
    ggg has not been hit as hard as benn would hit him
    froch is too slow and would get battered

    I don't think you understand. Nobody beats Ward, he cannot lose.

    Nigel Benn is a cheating fraud.
