the most worthless champ in boxing.

Ward wouldn't leave Oakland when he was still a no-name pos who threatened to leave the Super 6 if he had to leave Oakland and then finally agreed once to fight in Jersey.

And he went on to dominate in that tournament and make a name for himself by fighting the best 168 had to offer. Stevenson has blown every decent fight he can get and instead has fought nothing but bums. Just cuz you dont like Ward dont compare him to a known ducker.

"Michel says there is no truth to the claims of a Stevenson-Jack fight being negotiated. He says the only way that the WBC would even approve that fight, is if Jack held a world title and then a unification would trump a mandatory defense."

Huh?

Something about this doesn't seem right...how would the WBC not approve a Stevenson-Jack fight if Jack does not have a belt, but approved the Wilder-Ortiz fight when Ortiz did not have a belt?

Coz Wilder payed Stirvirne step aside. Alvarez don't either don't want to accept step aside or team Stevenson don't wana pay step aside.

When it's a unification, there is no need to pay the mandatory a step aside fee, you just do the unification and ignore the mandatory.

I think that's what the guy was alluding to.

Wouldn't be shocked in the least bit if Alvarez outboxes Stevenson over 12 and wins a clear decision.

You're delusional.

I’d love to find more than five people who actually care about this fight at this point. Used to be a huge fan of him. Crazy how he went from knocking out Dawson, Cloud (when it still meant something) and Bellew all in one year to fighting lyft drivers once a year and his biggest win afterward is Fonfara. There’s a good chance he’ll be over the hill by the time he steps in the ring with a live body and we never see his full potential.

he shouldnt have to live in reality? he never bended his entire career. in fact he made crazy demands and if his opponents didn't bend the fights didnt happen. unfortunately everyone in boxing enabled this diva and every single fight was setup the way he wanted with the purse he wanted. he was overpaid so much that there was no way it could continue based on his real market value. blame ward and his enablers

You sounded like you were describing Stevenson ducking all those fights with Kovalev, Hopkins and Pascal. At least Ward fought some of the best. Stevenson does the same but against pure bums lol.
