I would like to ask what would haters think about these three fights. What would happen and would they be competitive? And should these fight happen? (CW)Denis Lebedev vs. Adonis Stevenson (LHW) (JMW) Erislandy Lara vs. Terence Crawford (JWW) (LW) Jorge Linares vs. Manny Pacquiao (WW) Btw. Why would anyone even write about Ward and GGG in the same sentence? Ward is a LHW and very inactive one. He has no fan base and he act like thug. Walking at least 15 pounds heavier than Golovkin. GGG on the other hand is the best MW out there and wants to unify. He talks no b.. and makes exciting fight. In terms of size not a big MW. Those fight above are more or less the same kind of situations as would Ward vs. GGG be - size would be the dominant factor not skills or athletism.
I like your point. Ive bedn wondering why people compare fighters in different divisions. It's like if you don't move up 2 divisions you are ducking someone. You can't just love up and down in weight. We have weight classes for a reason.
Mayweather - Canelo was 15 lbs... and 15 years. Paquiao - Margarito was 15 lbs. Paquiao - Clottey was 15 lbs. Haye - Klitschko was 30 lbs. Duran - Barkley was 15 lbs. I could go on and on. But the best example is; Mayweather - GGG would be 20 lbs. ...How do you feel about that one?
My question was about those three aforementioned fights. If you read the question again, you might notice that and understand my question better. IMO Lebedev would crush Stevenson by pure strength and walk him down. The factor would be size and strength. Lara would beat Crawford for sure. Both are excellent fighters but the outcome would not be decided by skills. Biggest factor would be strength and weight. Not taking anything away from Lara. You need to be fast as well if you want to catch Crawford but would this be a fair fight for Crawford? Should his manager advice to sign the deal if Lara´s manager would offer it? I would say no and no. Jorge Linares vs. Manny Pacquiao would be a mismatch most defenetly. Pacquiao is bigger but also better in every department. Actual fight night weight could be surprisingly close even though they campain two divisions apart. I would say Ward vs. GGG would be a lot like Crawford vs Lara in terms of skills and weight. Those who insist this fight happening are appreciating GGG´s skills and ability very highly.
Your points are taken, but it doesn't address the circumstances which brought the idea of a Ward fight into play. GGG and his people said they'd fight anyone in from 154-168. Ward is a LHW now, but not always. At the time, it was likely Ward could get back to 168, and a viable fight.
The sentence is taken a bit out of content. They mentioned (Abel) if the money is right. And with the same ****ogy haters should demand Ward vs. Klitschko because Ward said he could beat him. Obviously there is no point doing that. We are better than that.
Ban this idiot spewing GGG propaganda and ward hate. OMG GGG is the best at MW? MW that stacked division with elite boxers? Let's all suck his ****, and act like he's actually done something special.
GGG ducked Ward before he moved to 175. He was willing to make 168 for GGG. This is common knowledge. Poor thread.
Not really, those are completely different circumstances, as there is no chance Ward would be able to fight WK. Also as it seems they were willing to make other fights at 168(Froch, Jr), it was obviously within the realm. Point is, it is inaccurate to compare those other fights, which are between noncompatible fighters at the moment.
