    That would be twice Ward turned down fighting Shabransky. If Ward can't handle Shabransky, he better not go around Kovalev, but then he probably already knows that....

      I think they should let Shabranskyy have a few more solid fights before fighting Kovalev or Ward.
      I said after the Gonzalez fight that he looked great, but they should not rush him towards a Kovalev fight. Ward is almost the same thing. A Ward fight won't be brutal like a fight with Sergey, but if he loses he probably won't get back on HBO (or be given more opportunities). They should build Shabranskyy more.
      Ward is not a bum like people like to say. He didn't get a Gold medal for no reason, even though it should have been Bronze imo; I don't think he won his semifinal bout, but that's a another story. It's crazy to think someone would just walk over him, especially someone who just recently stepped up.

      So yeah I say build Shabranskyy a little bit more.

        Barrera, Shabranskyy, and Kovalev should be Ward's 3 fights on his HBO contract. Three undefeated fighters. If he gets all of them in 2016, he should win his second Fighter of the Year award.

          I see Ward winning a close and dirty fight in his backyard against Barrera and ultimately realizing Kovalev would just be too much and Ward suddenly retiring because of some "injury".

            Shabranskyy still needs a little seasoning, but he's much bigger than Ward. Not a risk worth taking for Dre. I'm not even sure how Shabranskyy makes LHW, he's probably closer to 6'4 than 6'3 and he's not exactly skin and bone.

              Shabranskyy looked great his fight against Gonzalez he will give any of the top light heavyweights a tough fight.

                I never heard anyone on NSB mention this guy for a fight with Ward, all of a sudden once Ward signs to fight a guy you guys said he would "duck", you're on to a new nutsack.

                  Shabransky can be next after Barrera.
