    Ward will have to find a way to make Usyk fade, rather than just wait for Kovalev to fade after about 4.

    Froch's workrate was enough for two judges to return cards of 115-113.....

    So Usyk, a naturally bigger man, with 100x the boxing ability of Froch, with an incredible engine, beats Ward.



    Ward could probably drag it the distance as he has a lot of bottle.....

    But its a Usyk UD.

    Have not checked if any truth to this but hellz yeah, if Ward looks good at CW (which I expect him to do so cause he's a solid weight traveler and had the free time as a retired fighter to use any means to bulk up), this is a dream fight for the P4P top status.

    Putting Andre Ward and 'fun to watch' in the same sentence is bold

    Would be a great fight, they have very good but different skill sets and would be a great clash of styles. Volume puncher/boxer vs a defensive spoiler, I can't wait to see it. I still don't know how good Usyk really is, we would find out against Ward.

    this isn’t happening. Ward knows his limitations.

    And we already know Usyk gives ZERO ****s about fighting in ANY foreign land... but make ward fight outside the comforts of his home soil. THIS ONE TIME!

    Usyk knocks out anybody from Lightheavy, including Beterbiev.

    Usyk traditionally has had more trouble with smaller guys. But I don't think it will be enough to give Ward anything other than a 5% chance at beating Usyk right now. I don't see this as anything other than a road bump further delaying Usyks ascent to HW. If Ward is serious he should fight whoever takes the CW throne after Usyk. Then if Usyk picks up a strap at HW somehow then he can entertain the notion of taking on Usyk at HW. There's unlikely to be any other fighter picking up a strap at HW within the next few years small enough for Ward to contend with other than Usyk.

    Ward is shot. Has been for a while. A prime Ward vs Usyk if they were the same weight is a clear Ward decision. But Ward moving up with his busted shoulder and his speed declining is an easy UD for Usyk.

    Usyk will never be the same after such a fight, all those skilled headbutts and lowblows would take their toll

    Great quote when used in reference to the guy who literally said it during his prime.
