Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Vows To Clean Out 175, Starting With Kovalev

The narrative will change to "I always knew Ward was a great fighter but I don't like him because he's inactive and a diva"

no i think it will be ward held and cheated the entire fight since thats his only chance at possibly winning. ward fans will be like "i didnt' see anything...i'm blind!" just like the kessler fight

how do you know that? k2's counter offer was come back when you are serious about fighting us. not in 15 months time. that was a joke.

There you go. Loeffler said the same thing Ward said. They told him the same thing Canelo told GGG

"

Little G' turned down an official fight with us," Ward told the reporter. "The reality is for all the talk ... the proof is in the pudding. I have an email right now that shows we gave them what they want ... 50/50 ... and the man -- the promoter --turned it down, said maybe 2017."

Loeffler said his emailed reply to Ward’s camp was that if Ward was still at 168 pounds in early 2017, Golovkin would be pleased to consider the bout at that point.

If Ward beats Kovalev- it'll be all downhill from there. Adonis can duck but somebody else will knock off Adonis regardless, he is getting up there in age and Ward and Kovalev likely aren't going anywhere. I think Stevenson loses badly to either.

Nothing but respect for Ward right now going up to 175 and beating Barrera showed he is very legit, he needs one more tune up and he is doing it all perfectly. Kovalev will have his hands full that is a super fight. Stevenson is irrelevant right now and should be retired in 12 months anyway.

Maybe Andre needs to vow to clean out his special 172 division first. Just shut up and show up on fight night, then i'll give you props.

Last I checked his last fight was at 175 and so will his next 2 so keep crying :'(

When Ward is quiet .... "Ohhh he's not mentioning Kovalev at all, anybody who thinks he's ever going to fight him needs to get real"

When he does speak about him then you get posters like this guy who doesn't know where to start with his BS.

Haha, Ward making sure to mention that "a date of November 19 has been discussed" and " it could happen in November"

Like I said..... it isn't happening in November, not this November at least.

Funny how people think that Ward will pose all these issues for Kovalev while Kovalev offers no resistance to Ward. More than a few people are going to be shocked at how Kovalev commences to break Ward down until he quits on his stool to avoid a KO.

This is if Ward ever faces him obviously.

JABS long time. Hope all is well.

why are either of you surprised. some guys prefer their guy not fight rather than have to deal with the loss. same thing happened when the Floyd/Manny fight was actually official.

Actually it doesn't surprise me at all.

I been doing great my friend. Working a lot and taking care of my daughter. How have you been?

doing well. At least up until the last 72 hours and watching all the needless loss of life.

On topic, it is always funny how the irrational confidence of some posters changes as soon as a fight is actually made.
