I just don't understand what the big rush for Kovalev vs Ward is?

[NEETzsche]

ward should have one more fight in summer and then, provided he wins and doesn't get injured, the kovalev fight will be perfectly ripe for the end of the year

[BKM-]

And the rush is that the brittle, unreliable Ward could be out for a year just like that. Better get this big fight out of the way before that happens.

[kiaba360]

They have few options other because of politics. If we could get Ward/Kov vs. Haymon fighters, then fans probably wouldn't be so fervent in their desire to see this match-up next.

[Jc8804]

Cause people say ward would beat kovalev. Well then prove it.

Or are you saying he can beat kovalev in the
Future but not at this moment??

Which is op

[sicko]

Ward have every right to take one more fight before going in with the best of the division. Hopefully he can get a big name, would love to see him fight Fonfara if possible.

Fighters should NEVER EVER listen to Fight Fans, most of us really don't know as much as we THINK we do. Ward and Hunter been working together for years and they clearly have the Formula for success. Ward brings his BEST vs THE BEST so when he steps in with Kovalev he will be more than ready

[bojangles1987]

Ward will be fine. If he wants to get another fight in this summer, fine, but if not, November for Kovalev will still be perfect.

[Bushbaby]

It should happen this year. That's not rushing.

[Foreign Soil]

The "rush" is for Ward's benefit, he needs to try to accomplish something other than the Super 6 before he gets old and retires. To me, he's already looking a bit old.

[Dr Rumack]

No more marination. The sport is in a shit place. Make the damn fights.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

agreed...dont you idiots know by now that EVERY time there's an awesome fight that EVERY one and their mothers wants to see, we have to wait 3-4 years before we can watch it happen


we're not giving enough time for the fighters to get older or lose in an upset or for the public to stop giving a ****
