Comments Thread For: Roc Nation: This is Ward's First Step Toward Kovalev

[HeroBando]

Never said he was the best! I did say he would make a top 5 GGG best list and I stick by that.

"never fought a top 50 opponent" ??? I'm pretty sure both him and Jack are ranked in the top 50...

"Coming up in weight" Again??? Aren't they BOTH coming up in weight? Do you need me to highlight both? If you're going to pick apart my comments you're fair game also...You get mad enough we can see who knows more about boxing when certain th$ngs back the talk up...

How can he be top 5 GGG opponent when he beat 7 Ring top tenners, and this guy is nowhere near top 10, never fought a contender (fringe even), and coming up in weight?

Jack was a 10 fight soso prospect, and soon drew with Periban and got crushed by journeyman in 1. He wasnt top 50 then

Dunno, Ward last fought at 172, and hasn't hit 168 in 2 years. Even if you grant him that, this guy is nothing at 175, never mind Ring top 10. Just silly. Even GGG fringe comp like Ishida and Adama are way more proven to

What all GGG fans don't realize is, that Ward has moved on. He is looking for a show down with Kovalev, which probably be in another year or so.

well it aint going to be in 2016 so it will be "or so" = 2017? 2018? Lets see Ward Fonfara or Ward Gonzalez in the 3rd fight - if he dominates one of them i'll have him as a live dog for the Kov fight.

But ... no way he fights 3 fights next year so any Kov fight is gonna be early 2017 at best.

I literally LOL at how sone of you cats literally HATE Andre Ward because he is not only a threat to GGG. But how he basically exposed GGG for not being this, "take on all comers", "do it for the glory and not the money" warrior they were trying to portray him as.

Its all good. He's moving on to bigger and better things. As a fight fan, Ward-Kovalev is a better match-up than Ward-GGG. GGG isn't close to being ad good as either of those guys. Although I am looking forward to all these clowns saying Kovalev is gonna destroy Ward. And, Ward is gonna duck the fight. Looking forward to how they turn on Kovalev after Ward beats him. Then all the, "GGG beat Kovalev in sparring" posts are gonna from the same clowns.

lot of assumptions there amigo

Wrong, wrong wrong you don't know much about boxing, enough said.

Like I told Mike1010011 earlier , I don't think Ward (who hasn't lost a fight since like 12) needs u (a nobody)
to advise him on how to stay an undefeated world champion , thx , but no thx .

[Nomadic]

Yeah but Ward fans who have him as no 1 or 2 P4P wanted GGG to move straight up and face him at 168

He called Ward out, Ward's fans wanted to entertain it.

You basically just said the same thing I just said.

[SteveM]

fighting nobodies in prep for kovalev seems like a good strategy if you wanna get beat by kovalev

It's a strange strategy - at least he should have fought a crap LHW instead of a crap SMW - surely part of getting used to LHW is adjusting to the power a natural LHW brings to the ring?

[HeroBando]

Ward didn't deserve 50/50 ???
GGG (the PPV flop with 97k buys) was being generous ???

A loquacious post filled with nothing but raw indigestible sewage . The government must be aiming their CERN partical accelerator right above your house .

Ward wouldn't do 25k buys carrying a Ppv, nor sell out Msg lol. Remember, 325k viewers on basic cable

[Nomadic]

I know but people have been riding the hell out of GGG for no reason, so it should go both ways.

Yea, that is true. No argument here.
