In a fair fight with an honest referee Golovkin would KO Andre Ward

This is a ridiculous thread. GGG hasn't defeated anyone near the quality of Ward, let alone even fought in Ward's weight class. Seriously, he hasn't even unified the titles at 160 yet. How can anyone with a straight face contend that GGG could beat Ward? I'm a fan of the guy and I can't. Let's see GGG get his defense against Rubio in and then move up in weight for a fight with Junior, Froch or Kessler first. If he beats one or more of them, at least then we can better gauge where he's at. Until then, come on, give it up, especially, when Abel Sanchez has outright said that they're willing to face Froch or Junior but not Ward because the risk isn't worth the reward, indicating at least implicitly that Sanchez views Ward as on a whole different level.

Finally! A person with common sense! Love or hate Ward...he is the bigger and more skilled fighter. GGG would NEVER fight Ward at 168. If this fight ever happened, and it's a big IF, they would try to bring Ward down. GGG has not faced anyone even remotely as good as Ward at his own weight class...but he is going to KO one of the top 3 p4p fighters in the game?! People need to stop drinking the cool aid.
