Who is the more entertaining, fan-friendly boxer: Andre Ward or Gennady Golovkin?

GGG all day long.
No one gives a **** about --- whats his name --- Ward ???

 

Wrong.





“As far as 160 is concerned, I think that it is only fair to [Golovkin] to allow him to exhaust all possibilities before he does anything above 160. I think that there’s three or four guys that, hopefully within the next year, all those problems, network problems and all those issues get resolved and we end up fighting because they have to fight him. If [Golovkin] reigns supreme at 160, then I don’t doubt that we will move up to 168. And there’s several fighters there at 168 that we can go after,” said Sanchez.

At 168, the recognized champion is Andre Ward, who has cleaned the division out and then some. Ward shares Golovkin’s problem in that he is also an HBO fighter with no marquee name to fight at his weight beyond the brand name of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. But that is a hard fight to promote considering Junior was exposed by Martinez, who is perceived to not be the boxer Ward is. All of this makes Ward-Golovkin an attractive fight for both men. Another name that would make for an interesting fight for Golovkin is WBA/IBF titlist Carl Froch, who brings a tough style and drawing power both at the gate and on TV.

“I think that all those three names are possibilities and they would be good for boxing,” said Sanchez, “but the Ward fight may not be the most exciting fight for boxing but I think that in order to be considered the best at 168, you have to fight the best at 168 and Ward right now is the best. But all three of those fights would be easy to make. In order to control the division at 168 like [Golovkin] would at 160, you have to fight those guys. Hopefully, Chavez Jr. stays at that division and he doesn’t grow out of it. Froch would be a great fight in my opinion. And just because of the styles, Ward may not be as great a fight but I think it would be a tactical fight between two guys that can really fight.”

Golovkin is a fight fan favorite. With an extensive amateur background and what is turning into a dominant pro career, what is missing is an opponent who can take him to the limit. To Sanchez, Ward and Chavez Jr. offer potential to bring out what many consider latent greatness in “GGG.”

“I think that for the purist, it would be [Golovkin] controlling Ward. A domination would give [Golovkin] a lot of credit,” assessed Sanchez. “But for a fight fan who wants to see some action, I think the Chavez fight would be a really exciting fight because Chavez has a great chin; he has a good punch. He is going to take a good punch and I think it would be one of those classic wars between them.”

 

The question all depends on which style of boxing you like to watch.

H2H, in all around skills, Ward wins hands down and GGG lacks the skills and will never be as accomplished a boxer.

 

HAHHA the 12 people who voted Ward clearly had an agenda like the fruitcake who posted above me^

 

^ Brand new alt, just to post in this lame thread.

 

Who doesn't leave Oakland? Ward

Who's trying to fight bums on HBO for million dollar paydays? Ward.

Who didn't want to fly to Canada to fight bute? Ward

 

Can't wait for this one! Ward on the other hand is a boring & dirty fighter:!:

 

Golovkin by far..................

 

91.5% for GGG. You cannot get that high a percentage of people to agree on what day of the week it is.

 

Remember, this world calls a man named Yashua by the wrong name of Jesus. :yep

 

Ward only fights once every two years
