He earned my respect by moving up a division, getting off the canvas and fighting well enough to make it a close fight, no matter who you think won. It was a damn close fight that could have gone either way.

What doesn't earn my respect are fanboys who are claiming that Ward did not clinch or that Kovalev initiated them. That statement is so idiotic that even a chimp would laugh at you for saying that.

we understand nothing will never be enough, he went up in weight and had a great fight with the best in the division, some days I wonder if u guys actually understand how hard this sport is, ward deserves respect even if u felt he lost.

Who said he didn't deserve respect for taking the fight? He does, absolutely.
