Comments Thread For: Andre Ward on Going To 175, Sergey Kovalev Possibility

[HeroBando]

Are you holding your breath waiting for Duva or Loefler making anyone else an offer?

Or is that too much to ask?

They make offers all the time, just not to self proclaimed A siders with A side financial demands. Why is Roc Nation talking financial sense? At least theyre loaded, and proven theyre willing to lose money

Oh no u didnt!
Ward is the super champ, #2 P4P.

Really? On whose P4P list? He isn't on any reputable one that I can find in any position, much less #2. And fighting guys like Paul Smith isn't about to get him back on any list either.

I honestly don't understand you guys!
Am I the only one who wants Ward to fight both? I'd love for GGG to fight Froch and then Ward. I'd love for Ward to fight Kovalev and Adonis but after the GGG fight. Otherwise they'd never fight! It shouldn't matter who you like more or who you'd pick to win. All the boxing fans in the world should want top guys to face the best in and around their divisions, if possible!
There's no excuse for GGG not to face Ward & Froch/#3@168 or For Ward not to face Kovalev & Adonis!

You better move where people will actually want to see you, he'll be fighting where Rocnation tells him to fight. Two years out of the ring he should be itching to fight anywhere at anytime against anyone.

Duva and Loefler both know that Ward couldn't draw flies to a dung heap right now and that he would want at least $5million to fight their boys so no, I'm not holding my breath for that either.

But Andre is the one who's running his mouth off, and Roc are Andre's promoters and they have much deeper pockets than Duva and Loefler. ...

Looking forward to seeing what Ward looks like in this next fight. If he looks the same as his last 2 outings I'd pick him to beat GGG or Kovalev via UD. If he's slowed down then Kovalev could be a tall order.

Ward is supremely skillful and excels at smothering and controlling distance which I could see him implementing well against a (even slightly) slower opponent.

Yet he made Dawson come down to fight him.. nice Ward.

He made nothing. Dawson called him out and said he would go down to 168 for the fight. Ward agreed. You are ignorantly and knowingly comparing apples to oranges.

Yeah sure if there was no such thing as ring rust. Ward is too smart to come in all rusty. If a highly skilled, high ring IQ boxer like Ward is respecting ring rust, what doest that tell you about the seriousness of rust? Floyd did the same, he fought JMM after 2 years of not fighting.

Ward was deleted from The Rings P4P strictly because of inactivity. And when 6-20 rolls around and he wins I believe Ward will be back on the list the following week, where he belongs. Because if anyone, for what ever crazy reason, doesn't believe that Ward is one of the best ten fighters on the planet, then its just your very biased opinion. And it surely has nothing to do with any real logic.

ward would win and snatch all those belts

He better do it quick before Kovalev has to surrender each belt.

I think Ward should face Medina next, followed by Chudinov and then DeGale. If GGG hasn't moved up by the end of 2016, Ward should start thinking about moving up.
