Comments Thread For: Kovalev Explains Why He's Not Fixated on Andre Ward, Yet

[Mr. Philadel]

I ant worried, I dont think anyone can beat kovalev or ward outside of each other.

This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ×100

Ward does all that talking about how he wants to fight Kovalev when no one else does.
He needs 2 interim fights first though lol
He really, really wants to fight Kovalev, you guys. Honest. Just not next or the fight after that.

Ha ha, so true. He is taking "getting acclimated to the weight" to a whole new level of scientific endeavour."
Meanwhile, back on earth, his stablemate with the same trainer is jumping two weight classes to take on Canelo. Sugar Ray came back from a 3 year layoff and went straight in with Hagler, but Andrea, who wants to be great let's not forget, needs to get the ring rust out and get acclimated at 175, a weight he has fought at many times. He's getting beaten badly if the fight ever happens, but I'm not holding my breath.

How about a Ward/Brahmer, Kovalev/Fonfara HBO double header like they used to do in the old days?

[Dean_Razorback]

Why, GGG haters think he should jump right up to LHW and fight Ward.

Besides, Ward isn't unfamiliar with LHW. He was LHW in Olympics and fought at 178 in amateurs.



Ward said the injury wasn't that bad, but he pulled out just in case. I doubt he skipped out on a PPV just because.

exactly this, ward is sooooooo good, yet he still needs 2 tune ups before KOvalev. GGG is a tomato can crusher but he should jump right in the ring with Ward without testing the waters at 168 lbs lol

Who has he fought 'many times' at 175?? Glov fans are complete ******s.

[KillaMane26]

Ward just came off a layoff and just moved up in weight.....it would be dumb to not have tune-ups when you are facing P4P fighter destroying dudes

[j0zef]

In 6 months we'll be hearing "Kov ducking Ward" :-/

[Bronx2245]

I gotta feeling that after Ward feels Barerra @ 175, he will re-consider going back to 168 for GGG!

[Vasyl’s dad]

Hilarious as always. Ward needs to get acclimated to a division 7 pounds higher, but Gennady needs to jump 8 asap to fight what many think is the number one pound for pound fighter in the world.

[Tobi.G]

The good thing is Ward will be considered as a ligitimate 175 pounder after he beats two real 175 pounders without a problem before Kovalev. If he would fight him now they would say he isnt any good at 175 and has been to inactive if he loses to Kovalev.
