Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: I Don't See Any Weaknesses in Kovalev Right Now

[aboutfkntime]

they both have a lot of respect for each other. it will probably be another high profile chess match and afterwards everyone will say boxing is boring/dead again

people expecting a war are in for disappointment.

Yup ^^

I been saying that for awhile now.

That fight will definitely be a boxing match, and the best boxer will win.

I will give ward credit as I thought ward was retired not too long ago! So not bad beating kovalev not long out of retirement

Yep, Ward would deserve the same credit for beating Kovalev, that Golovkin would deserve if he beat Ward. props to you, GreenK.

[aboutfkntime]

I'm not doubting the fact that he deserves credit and should be a top 3 p4p fighter, my only concern is him hyping up kovalev then using a victory over him as a push for to be recognised as the greatest ever LHW.

But, who said anything like that ?

Pacquiao stated that he was the greatest fighter of all time.

So did Mayweather.

Never heard Ward say anything like that, and I've never heard any poster make similar claims either.

Ward would need way more than Kovalev to take that mantle.

[aboutfkntime]

I just want to see andrea in the ring against kovalev before anything else. we all know andrea's past of pulling out of fights/being inactive.

I wish your dad had pulled out.

I bet you said the same **** before kov fought bhop. "But he was old doe", you should of took that in consideration at the time huh

Look it up...isnt that what you guys do? Like I said....Ward is going to outbox him...Kov is not a one punch hitter at the elite level...obviously, if he was Pascal whose defense is leaky, would have got blitzed in 2 rounds or less


Kov only shot at winning is a tarver vs jones one punch kayo....boxing is hit and not get hit....Ward is faster, has a wider variety of punches...can fight inside, outside, on a pivot, slip, dip counter...you name it


throwing jab jab str8 right over and over isnt going to cut it with someone who hasnt even had a close fight as a pro....Kov is there to be hit on the elite level and has no head movement....doesnt throw many hooks or uppercuts.....leans back away from straight punches

and does NOT vary his jab, throws it the same way and speed...ward is just a more well rounded fighter.
Outside of Power, what else does Kov have on ward? Be honest...im all ears

Cant wait for this.

Whether he is pretending or not I like the fact that he is giving Kov all the respect possible, personally I think Kov beats him, might not knock ward out but I see a KD and a UD win for Kov, the crazy thing is people are saying he is only saying this so a win over Kov would look great.... Whether he said this or not a win over Kov would be a great win period!!! Kov is a monster not just hype machine, his resume says so too not just hype machine.

LOL this post shows clear bias. You do realize pascal was never knocked down or KO'd in his entire career before Kovalev?

The fact you think Kovalev is there to get hit easily baffles me. Gonna save this thread for future laughs

you did not answer my question... On the elite level he is not willie pep bro....he isnt gatti but he isnt slick either....ward counters very well.outside of power what can kovalev do in the ring that ward does not do better? Name 3 things

Pascal also fights in spurts, doesnt have a great defense like Ward...he definitely does NOT have the jab or variety of punches depending on that wide azz left hook and right hand combo over and over

His defense is leaky and he leans to his right instead of block or slip a right hand to the left.....he has his head in line for the straight right, thats a bad habit....Ward doesnt make that mistake.



what baffles me is the people who think Kovalev will win only talk power....no tactics, assessment, why you think he kayos him, what can he do to disrupt wards rhythm.....its like casual fans rooting for someone they like but really dont know ***** about boxing.


Out of all these threads, its been one guy(cant remember his name) that gave strategic reasons why he thinks kov would win...i respect that not the old typical "he destroys him"...who has destroyed Ward? let alone win a 12 round decision


My point is Whether Kov wins or losses it wont be a cake walk like you think and I slightly favor Ward because he is the more versatile fighter
