Dan Rafael: Ward's team wants GGG this fall

[megas30]

Kovalev has nothing for Ward. He's so overrated based on beating faded guys. Ward fought peak guys at 168 and handled them. Stepping up a beating Kovalev won't be but a thing. Kovalev isn't slick enough to figure out Andre's game. Ward doesn't hold, he has an active clinch that no one has been able to deal with.

Kovalev is a solid fighter. He fights smart and uses his jab well, plus he punches hard. It won't be easy for Ward. I would say GGG is overrated not Kov.

Only one way to find out. No matter who you think will win Kov-Ward is a really interesting fight. Winner is instantly near the top of the p4p list.

I think Kovalev > Ward > GGG, who is just too small and slow to beat the other 2.

Kovalev beats Ward. Toss up between GGG and Ward IMO.. Personally I think Wards looooong lay off is a disadvantage and that recent bum he beat don't mean he is ready

I'd rather he just take another warmup at 175 then go after Kovalev.

Ward is known to be extremely stubborn with negotiations and if the fight takes place at 168+ in Oakland come on, Ward has it in the bag before the bell rings, not very interesting.

When and where did Ward say he wanted it in Oakland. I must have missed that part.

LOL, ****ing lies. Andrea doesn't have the courage to fight Gennady. He is a coward, all talk and fronting. Bish ass low life trash.

I don't think Kovalev is bad at all. I'd agree that he's solid. But Ward's resume is so much better and, strategically, doesn't have the gritty or awkward tendencies needed to bother Ward. I see him falling into Andre's traps just like everyone else. He's not going to be able to bully him like he did old man Hopkins.

lmao what? overrated?

Kovalev went to ALL his top opponents backyards and beat them in their own home. Something Ward doesn't particularly like

I can imagine Kovalev landing a bloody dangerous liver shot onto Ward and ending it. I can't picture Ward, being the smaller and weaker man beat Kovalev. You're also underrating Kovalev's ring IQ.

I agree, GGG will most likely lose.

Ward is in jeopardy against Kovalev, he knows this too, I remember Ward calling Kovalev the "boogeyman"

Oakland or LA. 10 of his 11 last fights have been in Cali and Golovkin has been marketing himself to Mexicans so where else would it happen?

Ward will almost assuredly ask for Oakland @ 168.

Golovkin will ask for L.A. at 164 (pretty reasonable for a small middleweight from Khazakistan), Ward will say no.

Just skip forward to Kov vs Ward plz.

[Kagami Taiga]

Good. Team Golovkin need to negotiate this fight asap. Damn wish Dirk was here. Hahahahaha

[aldo5408]

Damn ward beating Both ggg and kov is very likely I think he beats both easy. Let's make it happen loeffer.
