Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Promoter: The Andre Ward Fight is Inevitable

[bojangles1987]

Not necessarily, I thought Ward/Bute was inevitable.

Bute decided to test himself against Froch rather than wait for Ward's injury to heal. I don't think anyone does that to Kovalev or Ward before they end up in the ring together.

Boone fought Ward in 05 , I guess Hunter is right when he says the your never the same once Ward gives u a beating . Im sure Dawson and Kessler can attest to that . Aside from that Boone may be the greatest .500 fighter that's ever lived , lol

Boone had already been KO'd at least once before he fought Ward. And Andre didn't give him a beating, that's not Ward's style.

He was decked himself, and badly hurt, but survived and won on points.

Would the reaction be the same if that was Ward's promoter saying the same thing ?

Precisely !!!!

Ward turned down 2 offers from Bute before he even got injured.

Nobody has any thoughts on this ?

Of course there r no thoughts on this , despite how frequently they throw around the coward title , u know those same people would never consider that title for Kov . That title is only reserved for black fighters . And the same ones who ONLY consider that title for Black fighters are the same ones who'll swear up and down that your just a whiny guy playing a race card if u call out some of these obvious things . When Beterbiev backed out of the Kov fight I heard absolutely no one call him scared which is kinda surprising considering he had been calling Kov out for a while . But look what happened when Stevenson went with Haymon after verbally agreeing with HBO that he'd fight Kov , his whole name was changed to Adonis Chickenson . When (Haymon more than likely) told Beterbiev not to take the Kov fight due to the differences in money taking the fight now vs later damn near everyone gave Beterbiev the benefit of the doubt , but not Adonis of course , instead it's that racist black coward stigma they choose to perpetuate while simultaneously always claiming their not racist . Whenever race is mentioned , people like to say your playing the race card when really it's quite contrary . Rather , in very rare instances where racism doesn't exist , that's the actually card , the anomaly/exception card .

Not sure what you mean ?

I have seen no reaction whatsoever to the fact that Kovalevs schedule is booked for "his next few fights"..... not a peep, other than your post.

Put it this way..... you tell me what you think would happen if RN issued a press release stating that Wards schedule is booked for " his next few fights ".

Tell me honestly what you think would happen ?

Also, imperial1.....

Kovalev just moved to HBO, and yet..... his schedule is booked for " his next few fights ". Taking that into account, consider two things..... 1) the Stevenson purse bid back in May 2) a potential offer from GYM to fight Stevenson next

Boone KO'd Stevenson. Either way, if being KO'd is such a sin. Exactly what's with the massive boner you and your kind are having over GGG-Lemieux?

[stuff jones]

What gives you that impression?

Apart from being a butthurt Golovkin fan of course.....

You mean besides the fact that Ward is chasing a name guy 12 lbs lighter than he is and not saying anything about the name guy in his own natural weight class? Besides that?

Bute was exactly what Ward thought he was : A Paper Champ
or in Wards words "He hasn't convinced me he's worthy of a fight with me" . Why try and slight Ward because he was right ? No champion just accepts the invitation from any random up and coming contender , I know I wouldn't .

That fight would take place at 168, the same weight that Golovkin was willing to fight Froch and Chavez.
