As a fan of andre and somebody who respects his ability and skill level as a fighter, let me just say how frustrating its been to support this guy..... ward has fought about twice in two years and is coming off a fight against some bum ass fighter from the uk. Ive been extremely patient as fan waiting for this man to fight some quality level opposition. I believe his skill level and talent no doubt justify him as the best fighter in the world. The problem being that as of late his lack of appearances in the ring and the quality of opposition has been a major problem in his life. So to hear that he signed off to fight kovalev was big reason for me to be happy. But hearing how he's handled the contract situation with Barrera (who by the way is a above average fighter with some skill) makes me seriously doubt that we will see ward in the ring with kovalev in November. Andre seems like a good dude outside the ring but hes mind is
Way to wrapped up in the business side off the sport. Just get in the ring and fight. A fight with Barrera would be big time help in preparing for Sergey and adjusting to the new divison. I believe ward has the skill to outbox kovalev no doubt, but if he doesn't prepare him self right he could end up being shocked and dropped by Sergey.... who is your favorite fighter who makes you scratch your head the most???
