Who here thinks Ward will fight Kovalev at 175 before the end of 2016?

[NEETzsche]

voted "yes" although i don't think it's a sure thing. i'm not going to get my hopes up or start dishing out praise until a date is signed and training camps begin

A better question would be "Who here hopes Ward doesn't fight Kovalev?"

For some reason there seems to be a lot of so-called boxing fans secretly cheering for that fight not to happen.

It's weird, first they wanted Kovalev to come in and protect Golovkin from Ward.

But now that Ward-Kovalev might happen, they are still unhappy?

They'd rather Ward retired it seems - cos even if he fights and loses to Kovalev, he still gets credit for actually stepping up to the plate.

maybe not the end of 2016, but I hope Q1 of 2017.

If not what's next for Kova, unless Haymon is back on HBO (for now only a rumor)

The question still remains? The guy will have fought 4 bums in a row, and we are to believe he will step up to fight Kovalev?

What "4 bums in a row" are you referring to? Who were they?

[elgu]

1.Rodriguez
2.Paul something(the last guy)
3.He wanted the guy the NSAC wouldn't approve so you know the caliber of fighter he is looking to fight
4.Another bum because he won't risk losing before "fighting" Kovalev as the next opponent.

He will have fought 4 bums is a row before getting to Kovalev

Kathy Duva was the one who said she doesn't believe in random PED testing.

When did she say that? Post a link.

It's against the rules to post false information.

Now why don't you turn yourself in for being a f@ggot and posting that Ward wants the fight in Oakland with this referee or that referee? That's false information.

Also post a link to Ward turning down Gonzalez. You said you would the other day but you were "busy"

It's against the rules to post false information.

She said something along the lines that " she didn't believe in current testing because it's not done all year round. She also said it was expensive."

She didn't say she was against testing, just that if it's done it should be all the time because there's no point in testing if guys are still getting away with it.
