    You guys need to slow the heck down on this Andre Ward lovefest. The fact remains the guy can't really break an egg and a guy like Kovalev would walk in without fear of getting damage. GGG on a lighter version but would still walk through Wards lack of offense. GGG will beat Ward. Kovalev will destroy Ward.  Andre Ward has not earned the right to be considered great.

    No he's not, he's rated just fine.. and believe me, he'll eventually come out of his shell and face one of these dudes.. and he just may surprise you..

    Andre Ward is a very dynamic fighter, when he's at his best he brings a little bit of Bernard (best middleweight of our time)  and a little bit of Roy (blazing hand speed and adept counter-puncher).

    To say the least!!!

    Now the only reason we're a little down on him is because we haven't seen him in some time.. but best believe, he'll be coming out of hiding soon...

    Unfortunately he's stuck between a rock and hard place.  GGG and Kovalev both bring very tough fights..

    GGG is probably the tougher and more lucrative of the two fights, so my guess is he takes and BEATS Kovalev first then moves on to a decent paycheck against GGG.. in a barnbunner..

    Mr Parker. Last time I checked a fighter can't bring a bat into the ring. He has no power....He will get knocked out by Kovolev

    GGG has admitted  himself that Ward is too much for him right now. The lack of Ward fighting  may be the reason you're down on him.

    Haha.. that's funny...I'm not sure how much power Andre actually has, but I will admit that it's probably not one of his strengths.  In any event, Andre has enough skill to offset any power disadvantage even against Kovalev. 

    It would be tough, but he'd probably fight his way to a decision.

    He might be over-rated, but he did clean out the super middleweight division with ease, beat the light heavyweight champ (I know he came down, but he called Ward out). There is no one at 168 to face because he beat everyone. Also Bhop said he won't fight Ward.

    If Ward would fight Korolev and the fight would be in the pick em range I would really load up on Ward. What do you thing the ML would be if they were to fight soon? I would really like to see GGG fight Frock. That would be a great match up.
