Ward fans, if Kovalev beats Ward what will you say?

[-PBP-]

I'll say wow, I just witnessed two of the best fighters in the world live in person. I'll stand up and clap, walk out of the arena and enjoy the rest of my night in Vegas.

I don't wear skirts and carry pom poms for any man. I appreciate skills so if Kovalev proves me wrong and demonstrates a higher level of skill, I respect that.

You just labeled Kovalev's opposition mediocre...what does that make Rodriguez, Smith and Barrera then?

I guessi n your opinion Hopkins and Pascal are bums. Great stuff. Really smart guy. You win lots of awards. Green k sent, hope it makes you feel better.

Have you seen who Kovalev is facing??? The guy is coming off a loss!
And, yes, I consider a 50year old man and Jean "I had one good win 6 years ago" Pascal to be mediocre comp. I do consider Kovalev to be far above the level of the comp he's faced and this is close to a 50/50 fight. However, it's extraordinary how people have hammered Ward for recently facing guys just as bad as Kovalev's best comp. Hell, he takes crap for shutting out Kovalev's mandatory. I wish BOTH these fkers were fighting better guys because Ward and Kovalev are the two best fighters in the world, IMO.

Kov will be the #1 P4P, this fight is ripe now for both guys so there should be no excuses for either side

I feel if Ward loses posters will say Ward was on the decline blah blah

Yea, they'll cry endlessly about Salido coming in overweight, fouling,... Oh, wait, that's a different fanbase...

What can anyone say? I don't accept excuses after fights and i usually make fun of posters who come on here and make excuses.... for example when Danny Garcia beat Matthyse or when Margarito beat Cotto in their first fight.

If Kovalev beats Ward, then it turns out that Ward is the best at 168lbs and that Kovalev is the best at 175lbs. Kovalev would kill himself to go down to 168lbs, so yeah. This fight determines if Ward is the king of 168lbs and below or the king of 175lbs and below.

If I was a pretend Ward fan I'd say that Ward is a disgrace and that his clinching and headbutting that he tried simply wasn't good enough and that Kovalev exposed him

They're not gonna put him ahead of Canelo, just no.

Any rational person will give the winner of this fight their due credit. There's no two ways about it.
