the man is facing kovalev next year. i don't give a damn if he fights his gardener in the meantime. krusher is the most fearsome puncher in the sport, if ward conquers him he's the undisputed king of boxing. he could do a rematch with brand and i could care less, the kovalev fight will happen, that's the biggest fight of next year period.. unless floyd comes back.

Would have liked to see Ward and Pascal fight before Kovalev

For me just because he is fighting Kovalev after his two other fights with HBO i cannot critise him.

I doubt Ward would risk that, risking to Kovalev is OK.. if he loses at least he loses to an undefeated brute

Ward just wants to stay fighting bums, leave Andre alone!

i.e he will have 3 "tune ups" and then pick up a neck injury in training for the kovalev fight and be sidelined for a year with promotional issues before he comes back and needs a tune up

No doubt, and we know he is talking about Brand when he mentions the quote below.

I'm on a mission to be one of the greatest fighters who ever laced up a pair of gloves, a guy who they say fought the best and beat the best.
