Why not Andre Ward vs. Sergey Kovalev III?

[HarvardBlue]

Unless Kovalev can fix his stamina problems he's not beating Ward. One more shot will only give his fans a whole set of excuses to come up with.

I wish...Ward would beat him down worse than the rematch. I think a trilogy is warranted.

[A-Wolf]

I actually think that isnt a bad idea given the controversy in the first fight.

Kovalev arguably got robbed in the first fight and second fight wasnt really conclusive as well so a 3rd fight can settle everything.

No he did not. A robbery is what happened to Roy Jones in South Korea. What happened with Ward and Kovalev in their first match was a close fight.

Unless Kovalev can fix his stamina problems he's not beating Ward. One more shot will only give his fans a whole set of excuses to come up with.

I don't want to see another immediate rematch. If Kov returns and has a few good victories then fine, he'll have earned the right at another shot.

Besides, I doubt Ward and Duva can tolerate working with each other anytime soon.....

I would like to see this. Tony Weeks not deducting points for the low blows and stopping the fight way too early ruined this win for Ward. I feel that Kovalev was breaking down from legal punishment he was taking and wouldn't have lasted another two rounds. The low blows and stoppage ruined Wards win and gave Kovalev excuses. Has Kovalev been exposed? Does Ward just have his number? I felt that Kovalev should have looked to start fast and not let Ward settle. Horrible tactics.

Sure why not. If there is money to be made by both sides unlike the last one go for it. Remember how many times PAC/ Marquez and SRR/Lamotta fought.

After Ward vs Stevenson unification.

Unless Stevenson is going to keep running.

[Vlad_]

He should move on to fighters who don't rely on "borderline" low blow potential shots from time to time. One or two of those every few rounds takes its toll on a man. Navel and higher are the rules. Ward's "borderline" bullcrap is only defended by his fanboy supporters, calling it IQ. It's borderline cheating.

[MasterPlan]

Sure but not an immediate rematch. Let them fight 2-3 other opponents first.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

I think they need to fight other people and build towards a 3rd fight in summer/fall 2018

Either guy vs Stevenson would be great.. even though kovolev is 0-2 vs Ward, him and Adonis is still a huge fight..

Ideally and realistically, I would like to see

Kovolev in November vs a tuneup
Ward vs sometime in the next 8 months vs someone like bivol
Next spring kovolev vs Adonis
Ward vs kovolev 3 August or October
