Ward is still chasing a big money fight -- Froch (i.e. Hearn) didn't want to give it to him, therefore he's after Chavez Jr. Whom I'd see going for Bika rather than Ward...

Kovalev should be focusing on cleaning out the 175lb divison which Stevenson owns right now. A fight with ward doesn't make good logical and business sense at this point. Ward hasn't given any indication that he's ready to move up. So, at this point, any serious discourse about this fight is a waste of time.

Good for KOv for not being ****** and saying something like "i'll go down to 168 to fight him" like someone else we know did

No i dont think so., We dont have a linear champion until Stevenson and Kovalev fight each other! Shumenov is not on their level and B-Hop is to old for these guys. Stevenson and Kovalev have to fight each other, then we will know whos the best 175 pounder.

Well said bro!

So tired of Kov and his so called team saying he wants to fight Ward and Stevensen to keep getting themselves press when they have been trying to get HBO to buy C and B level fighters for his next fight. Mark my words, Kov is fighting a bum his next fight. He isn't asking or trying to force a fight with Stevensen or Ward or any other descent fighter. Don't fall for this bs and hype, you all are much brighter then that.

So why don't these guys call his bluff? Stevenson can simply send an offer and watch him squirm then, not choke up and give excuses when asked about that fight. But who are you kidding, you tried boosting that fraud Shumenov.
