the speed difference would be massive. khan gets ko'd sometimes by everyone but not a significant % of the time vs ward, who, with all due respect, kinda sucked.
I agree.... I have a very hard time seeing Ward pull this one off, even via fluke KO. Khan would just be too quick, and wouldn't take any chances. Still would be intriguing to see if Wards toughness and grit could prevail v.s Khans speed/skill but frailness.
Khan would outbox Ward easily. Ward would have to take Khan into the late rounds and then hopefully cut the ring off and get a good tap head...body shot x 2...I like watching all of Wards fights, he was a true warrior.
I agree Ward was nothing special skill wise. But, he was tough. A lot tougher than Khan. And I don't think Ward is all that much worse than the Danny Garcia that destroyed Khan. I see Amir out-boxing Mickey for the first 4-6 rounds before Mickey starts landing some tough body shots which slow Amir down. Eventually, I think the heat gets too much and Amir gets stopped. Remember, the Ward who beat Gatti was already past his prime. If Khan was as good as some people think, he would be a lot more active, and have a lot more big wins in this barren boxing landscape. But, his camp knows his limitations. That is why they are holding out for the big money cash-out loss against Manny or Floyd.
