    People talking ward-Golovkin are just deflecting attention from the real challenge... Kovalev. GGG is too small for a guy like ward

    Let's not forget that GGG and Kovalev have sparred and GGG more than held his own. I know its different than the real thing but I think this recent momentum of Golovkin being too small for Ward is incorrect.

    Ward 6'0" with 71" reach

    Golovkin 5'10" with 70" reach

    GGG will connect and when he does, Wards legs will wobble.

    People can put on muscle/weight as they get older. He fought in the 200lb division for a reason. Beterbiev is very tight as a light heavy, that's why he couldn't make the limit for his first few fights. He looks very skinny at 175, when he fought at 200lbs he wasn't carrying any fat either.
