Ward will not be moving up to face this monster... he will stay in that weak ass overrated division.
No one can stand up to the Krusher's power.
The only way Ward stands a chance is if he drains King Kova via catchweight.
Stay picking on the little guys Ward, you are trapped.

I actually have that on my office wall
Who's Andre Ward, does he box anybody?

The thing is people say ward is a younger version of BHOP. And i agree he is. But also we are not factoring Kovalaev held back. he carried bhop and only fought in spurts. The 8th round and 12th round imo were kovalev going at it almost 100 percent.
Ward is very strong in the clinch, but as Kovalev showed he can fight inside to.
But the main thing is wards activity, hes fought absulute bums at 168, since 2011, and not fought over a year. what makes you think hes not rotting his skills away???
Fight wont happen imo.
Might as well save your breath.
It's clear.
These guys will lick the piss from Ward's member if they could get their mouths near it.
Wards a much younger, stronger version, of Hopkins. But that's a bad thing in this fight, sergey completely nullifies that style. I can't see anything ward can do to win a round. Sergey showed, repeatedly, that he can use distance and roll out to avoid that bull rush these guys employ. It's a bad style match up for ward. Kovalev showed he doesn't have to engage to dominate.

:lol1: at all the fools hyping up Ward to beat Kova.
You know that fight will never happen right?
Kovalev will be ducked for sure! ;)
That's just not the way Ward rolls.
Are you ****ing high? If kovalev couldn't knock out a 50 year old hopkins, what the hell makes you think he can knock ward out in 3 rounds lol
Ward is a superior version of Hopkins in every way.
Kovalev got Hopkins good.
I dunno what ya talking about "hardly touched him" ???
But to answer your question, Ward doesn't have the Hopkins chin, can't match the guns.
Sorry.
Previously you had a case.. Now Ward will struggle with A level boxers.
I doubt he'll ever fight again.
Flushed his legacy down the toilet. Just like your other little buddy ;)
This guy is obviously trying to stir shit up, refer to the title where he calls those who side with Ward in a competitive match as "idiots" right off the bat. Also, go see his other similar thread he created today insulting Ward fans.
Butthurt Kessler fan...Froch fans have more class usually.
ward's entire style is rushing in behind his shoulder in order to disrupt his opponents rhythm. kovalev already knows how to deal with that as we saw against hopkins. once ward doens't have that and he also doesn't have inside fighting as we saw kovalev beat up hopkins on the inside what is left? outbox him at long range using a jab? good luck with that. not ward's style.

Losing 12rounds is the blue prints WTF
i think the real blueprint is the blake caparello fight. just do what blake did and knock kovalev down over and over. easy.
If you think Joe Calslappy could slap his way to victory against Kovalev. Ward shouldn't have any trouble Schooling Kovalev. Ward is a more active punch thrower than Hopkins. Ward won't be on the ropes the whole fight doing the rope a dope like Hopkins did.

Kovalev hardly touched Hopkins.
If anything Hopkins showed Ward the blueprint to beating Kovalev. His defense was giving Kovalev major problems all night.
Ward is a faster, stronger, more durable, more offensive version of hopkins who can fight on the inside and isn't 50 years old.
Losing 12rounds is the blue prints WTF
what blueprint did he give him? if you try and lure kovalev into counters he will have the answer? if you try to fight him on the inside he will beat you up?

The two best posts of the entire day on boxingscene. I agree 100%. Hopkins gave Ward a Blueprint. Ward is superior in every way.
