then he will make his move to 175, much like how calzaghe did it late in his career
He already beat everyone at 168.
His shoulder is healed.
Its time to fight.

He has practically cleared out the division.

Originally posted by BafanaBafana View PostEdwin Rodriguez, Bute, Stieglitz, Chavez Jr., Dirrell brothers, Froch II, Oosthuizen, etc. There are plenty of fights out there for him, beating Kessler and Froch isn't exactly 'practically clearing the division.'

Originally posted by Light_Speed View PostWrong, Ward wants to be on PPV, he's looking for the most lucrative fights he can get (like every fighter). Right now, it's either a Froch rematch or a Chavez fight. Hopkins did what he did because he had no choice, Ward is much more famous than Hopkins was at his age.
Oosthuizen, Rodriguez and the Dirrell bros aren't lucrative opponents, Stieglitz only in Germany. Bute will probably get destroyed by Pascal.Last edited by BafanaBafana; 08-20-2013, 01:52 PM.

I'm sure that if HBO is willing to put in the money, a fight against Stieglitz and other half-decent opponents can be made. Also as far as I'm concerned to Bute v. Pascal is either off or postponed for the near future.
Bute/Pascal is still on but postponed because Bute is injured, so a Ward fight is out of the question.

I think Kovalev knocks Ward out, but I'll say this: Ward has the best chance of anyone around light heavyweight to beat Kovalev. Ward is a great counterpuncher, knows how to use the ring, and has great hands speed. He can't match Kovalev's work rate, but he could time him with a few good shots and earn his respect, unlike the rest of Kovalev's opponents so far.
Ward should not be scared to make this fight, either, as it's his best chance of creating a Mayweather type of payday for him.
But both guys need one more big win to make this fight a superfight.

Im not sold on his stamina yet,,,, nobody has been able to give him a deep waters fight,,,,,,
Thats my only question mark about kovolez
