Will ward v kovalev live up to the hype?

[Tony Trick-Pony]

I've seen very few big fights live up to their hype. It's quite a task, really. The other Ward and Gatti went above and beyond as did Morales-Barrera I, but it doesn't happen a lot. I will say that if it turns into a snoozefest with Ward controlling Kovalev, it's because Kovalev didn't do his job. I've seen Ward hit on a number of occasions. He's not untouchable by any means. If he can land that right hand with authority, things will get interesting very quickly. Pascal is no all time great but he doesn't have a weak chin and Kovalev battered the hell out of him. Ward is on another level for sure, but Krusher has had months with JDJ to work on landing on Ward. He can do it, but he's got to make it happen. I really think it will get more interesting than people think. Kovalev is not a go away quietly type of guy. He'll get mean in there and I don't think he'll need fouls to do it.

how funny, got more boxing knowledge in my little toe than you and your hero prima donna larry combined

You didn't even know who Carlos Monzon was the other day Mr Boxrec percentages. The ****s I take before I go to work have more boxing knowledge than you.

Leading the sport to it's demise by taking on the challenge of Kovalev and giving us one of the most demanded fights of the year??

How does that make sense, I can get blaming Mayweather but what on earth has Ward done to be accused of bringing down the sport?

No surprise though, you generalise far too often.

mayweather did way less to ruin the sport than ward. As unpopular as he is on this site, mayweather brought the glitz and glamour to boxing, wards brought boredom to it. Mayweathers fights were always massive events, and say what you want about mayweather he didnt go on a run of fighting rodriguez, paul smith, sullivan barrera and alex brand. People say he cherry picked but he never had a 4 year stretch of fighting people who were useless. his style was more entertaining than wards too

Ward must be a star of the sport then which is the opposite of what die hard GGG fans like yourself say.... because I'm struggling to see how a guy that supposedly can't draw flies to ****, nobody watches and is supposedly extremely boring can be responsible for the demise of the sport.

So which is it man???? You guys can't seem to get your story sorted. You're a bunch of flip flopping boxrecing clowns.

Not too many people know who the hell Ward is, he is a quiet fighter but he is a good fighter. Are you denying that he has a small fan base?

[Mr. Objectivity]

Ward can try to be GREAT.....just saying...i would love to see a clean outcome..
