Comments Thread For: Kovalev’s Trainer: Andre Ward Needs to Meet Us At 175

[MDPopescu]

Ward v. Froch was completely one-sided. There is a reason Froch doesn't want a rematch with Ward.

... Yes: Froch said he felt like being "pickpocketed' by Ward...

You're delusional.

Ward beats the **** out of Kovalev and Golovkin.

GGG wants no parts at all..he drops his looping punches to his waist.
Kovalev squares himself up too much to beat a guy on Ward's level.

As I've written before: no fighter employs Ward's constipated fan unfriendly boxing style unless he's not athletic enough to boxing more dynamically. Either GGG or Kovalev (and when it's his day Beterbiev too) beat the living daylights out of Ward. What Ward will experience is what a level of competition that he has yet to experience as a pro. Why Ward chose to fight Super Middleweight after boxing light-heavyweight as an amateur, I don't know, but if he fights Kovalev, we'll all know why Super Middleweight suited Andre and light-heavyweight did not. And as for GGG, he beats Ward regardless of the weight they fight at (if Ward ever resumes his career plus I doubt that Ward even has the punch to hurt GGG). Also, I will tell you this now: Going back to Ali's resumption of his boxing career: Next to nobody expected him to get the beating he took from Joe Frazier - but it happened, and if it happened to Ali, it can happen to Ward (especially since Kovalev is bigger than Ward unlike Joe Frazier for Ali). Trust me on this: Ward fought at super middleweight and not light heavyweight for a reason, and the most likely reason is that Ward felt his chances for success as well as his size was more suited to super middleweight.

Hahaha, lol

I would love to see how Ward handles 175 against guys like Kovalev, Pascal, Stevenson, but when he does come back in mid to lat 2015, he'll have some decent options at 168. For the future fights of; Degale/Andre Dirrell and Groves/Anthony Dirrell, I'm going with the Brits in both. Both Groves & DeGale would offer types of fighters we haven't seen Ward deal with yet.

No, you are delusional. Paul Smith. Is that his name? The guy Andre Ward selected for his comeback? Paul Smith lost his two most recent fights. Paul Smith lost three of his last seven fights. Paul Smith lost four out of his last ten fights. Yes, it's that Paul Smith whom Andre Ward has chosen. I'll repeat myself, you are delusional.

ward said anyone from 168-175, 3 years ago, then when kova called him out he backed out like a biitch. also keep in mind ward fought at 178 in Olympics.

Its the 15th paragraph, ward said anyone from 168-175

I think I heard an interview where Kovalev said Ward started at 140lbs like Canelo, that’s why he’s realistically open to a catch weight.

Remember when Canelo said he’d do 152 for Floyd and TMT exploited that all or nothing! Now if Kovalev does it, Canelo is the bad guy.

Wasn’t Floyd and Canelo the same age gap as Canelo Krusher?

Truth. Look at these idiots. A lot of them don't post anymore and those that do want to pretend this didn't happen.
