Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Stevenson Has To "Ask Haymon" if He Can Fight

[My Low Place]

So why did Stevenson end up turning down that last offer from Duva, which his own promter said was "very fair"?

Superduck doesn't have an exclusivity deal with ST, and they don't screen all his fights, but when it comes to Kovalev, ST gotta get screening rights, or no deal. He knows HBO won't give permission for a joint screening, and he uses that to duck the fight.

lying again..that was an offer before the purse bid that he called fair..if stevenson wanted to drag it out to a purse bid he has ever right..HE STAYED IN IT KOVALEV LEFT IT...the last offer the sent he said hbo just flopped with ggg and we wont let them promote our guy alone and flop with him...

i'm a real dude and yall fake dudes that is all it comes down to..other grown men got u lying on they D1CK OUT HERE...u suspect right now..

i still think the blame is mutual for kov and stevenson

naw kov ducked when all 6 belts were on the line...
stevenson elected to go for bhop's 2 belts and not kov's 1...not that big of a deal...except bhop punked tf out bd he couldnt take 75% of the purse...

hope joe smith jr rids us of that ddue real quick

with a 6 inch reach advan on ward u prove first that he can take the left hand or long right jab away

the rest is for the bold

that's false..ward isnt strong enough..and see the fonfara and thomas williams jr fight....i bet you thomas williams jr would give andre ward all kinda hell on the inside..
dont go by names..go by skillsets..
i know ward is the better fighter but williams his a big lwh with a massive punch and aggression on the inside..ward wouldnt dare go on the inside wth him like stevenson did1!

His reach might matter if he had a jab worth speaking of, but he does'nt. His strength advantage, assuming he has one, won't matter because Stevenson will have no clue what to do with Ward once he is inside. Ward will simply do what Ward does and control the distance, change levels with his jab, bait Stevenson into throwing the punches he wants, which with Stevenson will almost always be the left hand, and have his way with him. Without a meaningful right hand Stevenson is showing up to a gun fight with a paper clip versus Ward.

I've never seen Stevenson demonstrate the level of competence in the ring that would suggest he could do anything with Dre outside of landing a miracle punch.

Thanks for correcting me on the 8 figure thing. In my defense anytime Oscar talks about GGG vs Canelo my eyes tend to glaze over & I don't pay too much attention in shame for Oscar & pity for Canelo that his promoter isn't as bold as Arum was with Oscar back in the day.

dude has the 2nd or 3rd best resume in the division
ducked by kov, pascal overpriced himelf, bhop did as well, and now ward is making excuses to not even negotiate..

u should be smacked for your ignorance..im tired of ppl like u getting away with foolishness

Yeah everyone in the sport ducked him it's a vast conspiracy against a honest trustworthy ol' stevenson (who went to prison for underage sex trafficking).

STFU you pedophile worshiping creep. He's done NOTHING in his division. His resume is complete ****.

he dominated the cloud fight with a jab..he goes high and low with it..U GET OUT OF HIM WAT YOU CAN BRING OUT OF HIM...if u dont see that then u'd go in the ring with him and be in for a rude awakening when u found out u took the left hand away and still lost...

u need to understand andre ward has already been said to have ducked stevenson..u need to understand that stevenson could throw him around like a rag doll..u need to understand that andre ward just went 12 fuggin rounds with brand..u need to undrestand that he just might be a cherrypick with a name vs kovalev...i like ward, but he did this to himself..he should have been active

ward's going to bait a guy with a 7 inch reach advantage?..reach just doesnt mean jab bru..the left hand hits you form across the street..adonis his a master at distance as well..u just refuse to accept it bc u dont want to...but like i said ward gets tossed a round like a rag doll on the inside..adonis moved to 175 and tossed fonfara and williams jr around onthe inside..ward got tossed around on the inside by barrera...have fun with watching kovalev make you cry tho...and btw adonis beats kov to..but kov has a much better puncher's chance than ward does..ward needs a pascal..175 isnt his land

Chickenman Stevenson should just keep quiet. His talk of fighting real contenders always ends with him fighting has beens or never was fighters. His act is getting old, if I was kovalev or Ward I'd ignor him as he's second tier compared to them
