Enough with GGG vs Ward, How about Ward vs Kovalev?

[bojangles1987]

just get ready to pay for it. that's all i have to say about the fight. if you want to watch the best fight in boxing, which this is, you should be willing to pay for it.

both guys aare at the point where they can't fight top opponents on regular HBO or showtime. their purses are too high. they'll be on PPV.


ask for the fight. don't stream it, either. be a man and pay up, or ask mommy and daddyf or the $70 it takes tow atch the best fight in boxing

I have zero problem with paying for Kovalev/Ward. You're right that it is the best fight to be made right now.

Agree, GGG has better options waiting for the winner of Cotto/Canelo, he can also fight the winner of Quillin/Jacobs...provided he beats Lemuix...
Ward has more $ to make at Light hvywgt: Stevenson,Kovalev...etc...

Is Ward just gonna go from a Paul Smith lvl opponent to a Kovalev lvl opponent?

[Scipio2009]

Everywhere I go I see fans arguing about Ward vs GGG matchup even though it's almost unrealistic. GGG fights at 160 and it appears he won't be outgrowing that division anytime soon. Ward used to fight at 168, his last fight was at 172. Why not fight Kovalev? it seems to me all this GGG talk by Ward is BS to avoid the Krusher at 175, this fight seems more realistic to me, we all know Kovalev is eager to fight anyone.

Ward keeps busy with his fight on the Canelo-Cotto PPV card, fights Golovkin on PPV in Feb/Mar (Canelo-Cotto, with or without the WBC belt, are likely going to fight twice and WBO champ Andy Lee has bigger money fights in Eubank Jr and Jacobs-Quillin winner once he has his fight with Billy Joe Saunders, and there's no way that HBO puts out the big money for Golovkin-Heiland or Golovkin-Johnson), has an early summer fight at the full 175, probably has one more fight in the fall, before closing out the year with Kovalev (if he still has any belts around his waste).

Golovkin and his camp spent the better part of two years talking ****, building their name off of some foolish thought of every fighter being afraid to step in with him; they kept throwing around Andre Ward's name, and Ward's taken that a bit personal and wants to simply make an example of Golovkin and his camp.

If you're going to talk all of that mess, you better be well and ready to back it up.

Im pretty sure virgil will want a warm up fight at the weight before he takes on kov, i think we see it in the future tho

[Rudiamonds]

Ward track record shows he will fight kolv

What was so unrealistic about Ward/GGG?

Save me, Sergey Kovalev, you're my only hope!

Loooool. It's embarrassing really.

Did you just get out of Jail, Kathy Duva has said 4 times now that Ward vs Kovalev is likely for Late 2016

Ward vs GGG is not unrealistic especially since he was willing to go up for Chavez Jr and Froch! It is just a match up GGG fans as well as GGG Team really don't feel good about and rightfully so but it makes them all look bad because they STARTED this Ward vs GGG BS . Like him or not...Ward Is No ***ing Joke In That Ring! The Resume and Accomplishments Speaks for itself. You can kid yourself and try to down play him but deep down you and I know that Ward is not going to be a easy fight for ANYBODY

But no need to talk about it, we shall see over the next few years who was really HYPE and who will still be standing. I will just say respect to all of the other fighters but my Money is on Ward and Gonzalez to still be sitting at the top of the P4P Rankings a couple of years from now

You're going to have to do better than that!

GGG- I will Go Up To 168 For Froch and Chavez Jr

GGG- Ward must come down to 164

Ward cleaned out his Division while some HYPE JOB from Canada decided to take it easy while everybody at 168 was fighting each other and he wanted to show up after the dust settled looking for a shot? Well we see how Bute Career has turned out compared to Ward
