Andre Ward’s needed heavy weight opponents to justify a fight with Anthony Joshua

Andre Ward said this week that he would leave his retirement to face Anthony Joshua “If the business was right.” The offer was found with a sarcastic response from the former two -division champion of two divisions Joshua, saying: “Pay Day Pay (Canelo Voice).

In order for the 41-year-old room (32-0, 16 kos) to take seriously, it must leave its eight-year retirement and overcome one or preferably two heavyweight contestants of the first level.

Could Andre Ward beat any of these heavy weights if he got in shape? During his first, Ward was known for throwing simple features followed by an immediate clinch. The technique is known as The punch and grab‘Style. It works, but it is boring to see.

This strategy was effective for Ward during his career, which allowed him to remain unbeaten and win world titles in Super Middleweight and Light Weight. However, it is doubtful that it would be effective in heavy weight. Even a larger heavy weight like Zhilei Zhang, 42, would take some time and nail it with a great shot while moving forward.

The Ward comeback: Legacy or Payday?

Ward has been out of sport since 2017 and there would be no interest in boxing fans to pay to see that the old world champion of 168 and 175 LB returns after eight years to get a money to make his retirement more luxurious.

“If the business was right, and everything was fine on this front, I and Anthony Joshua, this is a struggle that would make me at Wembley Stadium,” Andre Ward told Instagram. “This is a struggle that would take me to the gym and take me to the mentality I need to go to war.”
