Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Stevenson Had Opportunities To Fight - Why Now?

[KeyboardWarrior]

alvarez is getting his shot in 2017..he worked to bet the mando unlike pascal

idgaf wat kov says hbo didnt bid to keep stevenson, and then when the purse bid came around his promoter pulled him out of it when he could have made 5 million bucks...hbo said they were fine with kov being in the purse bid

and pascal should take a page our of alvarez's book and become the mando...pascal had zero belts and zero big wins in years except when bute almost ko'd him late...yet he tried to be stevenson's A side or the head of negotiations...lol is he nuts a purse bid would only get him 25% and he would walk away and show his true colors...CHAMPS WORKED TO BE CHAMPS..now it is the contenders turn to pay for their shot and pascal was not willing to do it...SOUND LIKE U NEED TO DO THE RESEARCH..and learn that some ppl demand to be paid and they deserve it while other like pascal are just fads that have came and went..

PEACE!

Champs work to be Champs? Is that the excuse you use when Stevenson continues to be irrelevant at Light Heavyweight?

Stevenson-Pascal is a big money fight in Quebec. Period. And a winnable one for Adonis.

The infamous WBC purse bid a year before a fight would take place? How often does that ever happen in the history of Boxing?
Do research.

What would you have preferred Ward to say? Stevenson should stand in line. Was that first sentence a typo? I think I'm interpreting it incorrectly.

I would've preferred Ward to say "I want that belt, I want that fight!"

Ward just exposed most of his so called "fans"..the dummygraphic defending Stevenson for the last couple years. LOOL that ether.

Ward should try to get THE missing belt before the rematch ... We can't expect Kov vs Ward 2 before summer 2017 and Adonis will be ready to go in Spring after Alvarez ... Ward is only showing that he fears Stevenson as much now as he did in 2014 when he said no to a 2 fights/2 Belts offer ... Stevenson might be the prickiest Boxer around for some A+, but fact is they all find good reasons not to fight him...

I like Ward but I think Stevenson knocks him out. Dude hits like locomotive. Adonis skills are underrated. I think Stevenson knocks out Kovalev too.

Understandable... I'm okay with him focusing on Kov considering that they have a rematch that's being set up. I will think about Stevenson later. Considering how close the fight was, Ward should be thinking about Kov as well. LOL.

yes it is winnable..but when u're pascal and u get a deal u dont like u cant be a punk about it and start negotiating in the media for more..HE HAD THE CHANCE TO HAVE 3 BELTS..instead he begged for more money in the media!
AND YES CHAMPS DONT OWE CHALLNGERS **** EXCEPT AN OFFER..if they offer u and u decline i question your will to be a champ!

dude u wbc purse bid happen and the fight has to be done in about 90 days...kovalev elect to not go to the purse bid..dont start lies here.

if u are talkin about a purse bid for pascal..he never had one bc he never made it to the mando position..he was just beggin for money...dont salute a man begging for money fights..salute the man willing to take th title for crumbs!

i got more respect for williams jr than i do pascal..
pascal made kovalev be his bside bc kov cant sell
adonis does and always willi n canada..pascal sells as well there, but hey when u dont have a belt that gives adonis the uper hand..PERIOD!

He has a rematch against Kov. Stevenson can (and will) wait. No point in even talking about Stevenson-Ward right now, in my opinion.
