    You dudes still fantasizing he's fighting Kovalev this year? Wouldn't surprise me if he has 6 or so tune ups before fighting Kovalev or anyone with a pulse at the weight. He's going on tune up #4. Last decent guy Ward fought, he made him come down in weight and in 2012. Yea respect that. FOH!
    So when he fights Kovalev you will say what?

      The most dangerous LHW each man has faced was Stevenson-Fonfara (50% ko rate) and Kov.-Cleverly 47%
      Yeah and Joe Calzaghe had a 75% KO ratio. Don't try to BS people who've seen Sullivan fight. If you want to say its impressive beating Sullivan because he's a skilled fighter, fine, but don't try to pull "he's a big threat because he has a 67% KO ratio!" as if that means anything. Quite frankly, a guy who is a big puncher should have a higher KO ratio considering the level of opponents he's faced so far. Sure, he was able to KO shot to bits Jeff Lacy but went the distance against 9-13 Larry Pryor and 16-10 Joell Godfrey, etc. KO Ratio isn't telling us anything much at all, especially when we're discussing prospects who haven't faced good opponents yet.

        BS man. Smith was coming off back to back losses, had to fight at a catchweight of 172 pounds and came in himself at 176½, flabby and not giving a ****. I'd pick Monroe over flabby Paul Smith any day.

                Bro, you saw 176 pound Paul Smith in the ring did you not? You think THAT was better than Willie Monroe? Context man, jesus christ.

                  no shame losing to Boone. In case you forgot, Boone KOd Stevenson, gave Kovalev all he wanted, and put your hero Ward on the floor.

                    Calzaghe's KO ratio is fool's gold, he was the beneficiary of ridiculous stoppages, the same way they stopped Murat-Cleverly when Murat finally started throwing more lmao. Barrera is the only person to legit stop him.




                    You act like lil g or Kovalev haven't gone 12 with no names lol.
