    Win or lose ?

    I don't really get into the debate of who ducked who because people no what happened even if they feel the need to lie to themselves.

    Win or lose would he a bigger name right now or in the same position.


    By the way, I feel Ward and GGG are too good to get washed by each other regardless of the outcome of the fight. Both make it to 13 rounds.

    Trip G has already made a far bigger name for himself than ward could even if we gave him a whole new career.... sadly that's exactly what ward needs to do, build himself up to trip G's level.

    Ward should be thanking God there's one somewhat close to trip G in Kovalev in wards real division, at lhw..

    And FYI:,winning is the most important, people claiming it's even possible to get a bigger name while losing are irrational, a bigger name associated with losing is never a good thing

    Ward has a $40+M contract with Roc Nation while Golovkin gets an allowance parcelled out by K2.
    Golovkin would be better known if he dumped K2 and singed with Al Haymon.
    Kovelev not only seems to be the better boxer but he also seems to be much smarter than GGG.
    Golovkin remains me a lot of business passive Pacquiao, both slaves to their promoters/managers.

    Like a modern day Charles and Eddie?

    Of course most haters would have to shut up if Golovkin beats Ward. Not sure how losing to anybody can't help one's standing.

    to boxing fans, yes. to everyone else, no.

    Ward is as irrelevant as it gets at this point, which is a damn shame because he is a world class talent.

    At this point No, accept amongst knowledgeable fans.
    If GGG won he beat an overrated clown who wasted his talent.
    When Ward wins he beat a guy in the wrong weight class who never fought any one.

    Probably not. A shutout points loss would have been a big setback for his profile.
