    It's funny how I actually like and respect real EE over white Americans who hate black fighters and try and ride EE LOL.

    style wise Golovkin is more difficult for Ward than Kovalev but Ward is a natural LHW while Golovkin is a natural middlweight and might be too small

    Beterbiev vs Ward could also be interesting but I think Beterbiev needs more pro experience before.

    No he's not. He's far easier. Kovalev's jab range, and control of range is what gave Ward the most problems. Golovkin has a shorter reach than Kovalev and is less agile in his movement. Kovalev is actually pretty slick while Golovkin blocks more than moves on defense. Ward would definitely tag Golovkin far more.

    Gvozdyk clearly has size/reach advantage over Ward, but I am not sure about Bivol. Bivol doesn't look very big at 175 to me, more like an average sized LHW.

    just because you are at a higher weight classes does not mean you automatically win especially if the weight class is only 2 weight classes difference

    Golovkin man handled kovalev and knocked him out with big ass gloves in sparring

    Darnell boone even said golovkin hit him harder then how kovalev hit him and golovkin had big gloves

    Golovkin has much better conditioning then sergey has much better skillset and hits just as hard.

    styles makes fight who would of thought maidana would of caused more issues for mayweather then a big canelo?

    This . Its hard to get to Kovalev with clean blows , he dictates the range really well and had a size and power advantage up close to tie Ward up.

    Golovkin just comes forward and would get eaten up by punishment round after round. Ward wouldn't need to work at all to get off on GGG , but look at how excellently Ward moved around the ring last night and you'll realize how difficult it would be for GGG to get to Ward.
    Krusher is a much harder fight than GGG , Ward GGG is a mismatch.. GGG would never enter the ring against Ward.
    Kovalev failed these losers so they are latching on to GGG knowing the fight will never happen.

    Beterbiev vs Ward is a different story.

    I think Ward beats Beterbiev though Beterbiev will be a hard test. You see how fast Bivol was tonight? Him and Gvozdyk speed could definitely pose problems for Ward. Those guys are so damn fast. Way faster than Kov and Ward.

    Yeah honestly haven't seen enough of Bivol to really judge his size. Ward just looked tiny against Barrera and Kovalev so I pretty much assume he's far smaller than most natural/bigger LHW.

    People think that GGG is one dimensional fighter... Kovalev is one dimensional fighter and GGG is not. GGG will show totally different style fighting Ward.

    And again GGG is more durable, has way better footwork and timing which will allow him to overcome Wards reach advantage, GGG has granite chin.

    Kovalev is a one dimensional fighter, GGG is a better fighter than Kovalev with better stamina, ring intelligence, better punch variety and better mid range and inside fighting skills, i would give GGG a good chance to beat Andre Ward, if they would fight at super middleweight.

    It's a shame GGG and his team never had your confidence of his chances against Ward. You need to ask yourself why!

    People said?

    There are STILL people saying it. Last night there were several regular posters insisting that GGG would be more difficult than for Ward than Kovalev.

    Amazing really.
