Andre Ward says he can beat a Klitschko:



What do you think?

I think it's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Everyone says Wladimir has a bad chin, but he has never been dropped by a fighter having a KO ratio less than 50% at heavyweight. Ward barely has a 50% KO ratio at super-middleweight. Wladimir wouldn't have to worry about Ward's punches at all. He could just walk up to him the entire fight throwing punches. It would be like Margarito-Cotto 1 except 5 times as brutal.

I'm going to post this in the main forum.

Andre Ward says he can beat a Klitschko:



What do you think?

He's just saying as a fighter and as a champion, he isn't one who has the doubt of losing in his head "I'm wired to think that way." Before that, he said that to get a HW title, he'd need to fight the 'right heavyweight', by which he didn't mean the Klitschkos.

Don't pay attention to the video title inserted by boxing 'journalism's' biggest attention whore, either.

Picking the 'right heavyweight' (was) possible, suppermiddleweight Roy Jones did that with Ruiz, he also had Lewis available at that time but he knew it wasn't the right one to pick. In the 1990's it was still possible, in the 1980's too with some alphabet titelholders that weren't very good (exclude Tyson, Holmes). After that too big the heavies. Ward has skills and is both taller and heavier than some good heavyweights of the past, that he could beat. Greb was both lighter and shorter than him, but today scene is different, Ward gets destroyed by all hard punchers and good overall complete heavyweight boxers of today.

Francesco Pianeta says he'd like to give his son the heavyweight belts for his birthday on May 8.




Wladimir Klitschko says his experience will be the key to beating a highly-motivated Pianeta.




Klitschko-Pianeta will be shown on two major networks in Russia, Sport 1 and Russia 2, which will show it live, while Sport 1 will re-telecast it after a one-hour delay.




Eddie Hearn would like to make a Fury-Haye fight. Prizefighter International Heavyweights will be on the undercard of Haye-Charr.




Wladimir Klitschko says money is not his motivation, he enjoys fighting. He says he's focused on Pianeta and trying not to think about the Povetkin fight right now.




Klitschko vs. Pianeta will be telecast live and in HD on Orange Sport in Poland. There will be a legal stream of the telecast on Facebook.




According to Ring ****zine writer, Bermane Stiverne has no chance against Vitali Klitschko.
