Notice how they pick and choose who to call cowards.

GGG...their current hero...just turned down 15 million to fight 5'7 Canelito.

Lol Ward got up from a KD and still whipped that ass. Kov just bitter af

[Bronx2245]

I don't see a hypocrisy from Kovalev, just because it was Duva talking, while Ward is trying to make a business move, the only business move that Kovalev is doing is getting screwed by Duva

Kathy Duva was probably backing down from that fight, that's possible. But as much as I don't like Kovalev for being stubborn and hot-headed, I can't call him a coward or ***** because it wouldn't make logical sense - he was willing to face Ward who was a way bigger threat to him than Stevenson and everybody thought he'd outbox Kovalev and give him no chances. Ward was the favorite in the books, and Stevenson wouldn't be favorite against Kovalev.

I don't like calling fighters "ducks" because there's a lot of **** going on behind the scenes. 90% of times when they get called ducks is always only business related. These people beating mother****ers for money, it takes a certain kind of mindset to compete in that sports and they have big egos, so it's not easy to scare them off like that, so when everybody was calling Canelo "duck", I was telling people to chill and they were sending me red k's. I understand that it was just a business move and if I was Oscar I would tell the same thing to Canelo who's probably aching to fight GGG, I'd say calm the **** down, I'm not sending my biggest cash cow to no slaughter. So I'm calling him "duck" and I believe he wants to face GGG, but I can't deny that Canelo is protected by his team as much as Golovkin, who is another "protected" fighter who's carefully matched. Every fighter is protected to some degree. Haymon or Top Rank can afford to lose some fighter from their stable, and Main Events can't afford to lose their only one big name so it's possible that Duva wasn't enthusiastic about Stevenson fight from the start

I like your response!

ward 11-1'd kovlev

[Cinci Champ]

to me his demeanor was of a guy who never lost who knew a losing decision was possible i wouldnt say he was shocked as much as just happy this **** getting ridiculous

Get em Krusher!!! Correction though, we already know he's a coward. And a PED cheat. And a loser in his last fight.

slappin' soggy don't have to retire to be marked as a coward he has had the style of a coward since day 1 of his " career"

Kovalev calling you out coWARD. You arrogant punk, quit crying about how you got a gift and get your ass back in the ring for the rematch.

I don't understand how y'all are calling Ward a coward. Who didn't he fight that he should have already in your eyes? He already fought Kov, so saying that he's scared to do it doesn't match reality. If you don't like him because of his attitude or him "acting like a diva" that makes perfect sense. However, how is he being considered a coward with the names on his resume while hyping a rematch and posturing for a larger payday against one of the baddest boxers on the planet? Any facts are greatly appreciated...

The problem is this...

It was a very close fight and the majority of people who saw it had Kov winning. As close as it was, its easier to make a case for Kov winning than Ward. Kov dished out more damage and as a result felt he won.

Ward on the other hand is acting as if he won convincingly and "schooled" Kov when it was faaaar from. His own trainer even felt as if he was behind come rounds 11 and 12.

All Ward needs to say is..."If Kovalev felt he really won lets just do it again so that I can silence the critics". Instead he's talking about retiring if the "business" isn't right meanwhile he already signed a contract stipulating the rematch dealings.

[Ake-Dawg]

As much whining as Ward has done about not being respected as the winner vs Kovalev... don't tell me he doesn't let the fans get to him. He knows he lost, and he's straight up pulling a Bradley move after Pac I. Won't stop blabbering about how we should respect his win. He basically even demands it. Fek that. If he doesn't rematch Kovalev, anyone with a pulse should read that as a duck. No excuses.

So it's blabbering and whining since you disagree with what he is saying. But when you agree it's just answering questions posed during interviews. Gotcha. How do you duck a rematch? The whole premise of ducking is to avoid fighting a person at all. Ducking doesn't apply to rematches.

You guys are so eager to classify a fighter as scared. Be patient and let things play out. Be a fan of the sport not just a complainer and criticiser.

if fighting like a coward means you get to be undefeated, make millions and be recognized as #1 pound for pound by most of your peers..then where do i sign up?

You forgot to mentioned fighting like a coward also means moving up and fighting the best in the division.
