Does this mean we get Ward vs Kovalev?

Rodriguez was hardly some stiff.

Yes he was. He was a clubfighter.

Only fights I'm interested in at 168 are Ward v Dirrell (just want to see it) and/or Kessler II in Denmark.

Me too. I'm suprised this fight hasn't been made yet. I think Dirrell could give Ward more problems than any fighter he has yet faced.

Ward is following in the footsteps of Floyd except he doesn't have that sort of fan base to get away with it, he will only shoot himself in the foot sooner or later.

I think this is unfair to Ward. He has no history of ducking. The only thing I can criticise him for is suing Goossen when his contract expires soon, but he's really only shooting himself in the foot by doing that.

What does that make Sillah then?

I think Kovalev should worry about guys in his division.

What has that got to do with anything? Ward vs Kovalev makes sense for both parties and the fans would be content too.

I'd actually like Kovalev vs Pascal or Braehmer. Would like to see him vs thse top contender types.

I wouldn't mind those fights either. I cannot see Brahmer stepping up at all though. Pascal probably would.

Anyway these fights wouldn't get Ward in the ring against a live opponent though.

[The Problem Child]

Get real. Ward has been blatantly ducking smaller Golovkin, do you really think he is going to fight Kovalev? The guy is a coWard. That's why he is inactive, he waits for fighters like Rodriguez and Dawson to pop up that he can drain and beat.

As soon as Golovkin moves up (which Triple G is doing to pressure Ward), he'll probably move up as well and try to switch to Showtime like Stevenson did.

I think Pascal would be a lot of fun vs Kovalev. I think once Ward gets all his managerial issues sorted it'll pick back up for him.

I Can't really act like he is some ducker with what he has already accomplished.

Some people just ignore the fact that he's been embroiled in management and injury problems for the past two years. There are some things you can criticise Ward for but there's a limit. A lot of his problems come from the fact that he cleared out an entire division in half the time it would normally take.

This is true. It's amazing that no one is even interested in fights against other top guys in his division because he already handled them easily. Abraham rematch?
