    I think golovkin has much better chance of landing his power than kovalev,his combination punching is far more likely to penetrate wards defense than kovalevs is

    Kova has a better chance due to size. Ward would bully Golovkin, we saw GGG struggle with Murray's clinching, Ward is stronger and bigger than Murray. Not a much better chance though, Ward would beat both of these guys on the same night.

    You could say he struggled with Murray,or you could say he gave him the beating of a lifetime then stopped him,i'd go with the latter.both fights should eventually happen so I guess time will tell

    I'm not saying he really struggled with Murray in terms of winning the fight, but Murray was strong enough to tie GGG up, GGG struggled with getting out of the clinch. Ward is much stronger and bigger than Murray, I'd say that Kovalev/Ward have similar strength, we'll see if Ward can bully him. I doubt we'll ever see Ward/GGG, GGG is busy fighting C level guys and welterweights.

    It's clear what his objective is,he will clean out the mw division then I have no doubt he'll move up,maybe go for the record defenses but I doubt it.

    Clean out one of the weakest divisions in boxing? Why? What's the point, go fight bigger and better guys at 168. And if his objective is to clear out the MW division why is he fighting a WW next :lol:. Unfortunately most likely this WW is the biggest name GGG will fight. It's a shame because he has good talent, and his team got our hopes with the 154-175 comments, and he said 154-168 himself, but I guess they really meant 147-160.

    You better hope Ward doesn't butt Kovalev like he did Kessler. Ward has no chance of being disqualified in the US for doing it against Kovalev. :yep

    Who do you think the big money fight is canello or ward ? He's hung around for that yellow piece of **** for how long ? That by rights would be his next opponent. I won't rise to what is obviously gonna be your attempt to convince me ggg isn't that good etc while slagging him off.im completely neutral just know a special talent when I see one

    Uh, where did I try to convince you that GGG isn't that good? I said he's a good talent, but it's a shame he's only fought C level opposition, and next a WW. If he really wanted Canelo why didnt he go to 155 and fight him? He was willing to go to 154 for 40 year old Floyd, I don't see the problem with going down to 155 to force a fight. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices to get that huge money fight.

    Golovkin and Kovalev both would knock Abraham, Bika, Kessler, Froch out without any problem.....................Kovalev is superior to those fighters by far in every way....................Pascal punches much harder than Ward, better chin, Hopkins good defensive fighter, Chilemba so much better than Brand, would give Ward a lot of problems, Cleverly, Kovalev had fought better opposition than Ward.................Who has Ward beaten? Brand, WOW!

    LMAO.

    KANvalev is *nothing* special outside of his punching power - which apparently is the result of loaded gloves + meldonium. The TOMATO KAN Krusher isn't anything Ward hasn't already seen before...
