    You forget that it's Ward we're talking about. Everyone said Kovalev would be too big for him, then Ward made every white boxing fan cry twice, and the crying hasn't stopped since. You know that he, like Mayweather, is one of those next level technicians who could conquer one weight after another. Heavyweight is too much, but he conquers cruiserweight, that much is sure.
    Why??? Most felt Kovalov won the 1st fight and Ward the 2nd.The only real loser in either fight is Kovalovs nuts. Watching that 2nd fight made me a lil uneasy seeing Ward pound away below the belt...

      Go argue with yourself in the corner ******.
      You brought it up.

      Take your L like a man lil buddy.

        Boxing doesn't revolve around American boxers with American boxing 'names'. There's more of a chance that Usyk fights either Tony Bellew, David Haye or even Anthony Joshua than Andre Ward.

        Murat Gassiev is a bigger 'name' in some parts of the world than Andre Ward. The same is the case with Glowacki. If beating Ward isn't going to be much of an accomplishment for Usyk. Then chances are, he isn't going to face Ward.

This guy was cutting to 175 not very long ago.

          *Before y'all come on here acting silly. Let's not act like it's not logical. Some of our favorite fighters (Toney, Jones, Holyfield and Mosley) were dopers at some point.

          And don't come with that "walk around weight stuff". All that will do is reveal how uninformed you are about muscle mass and weight cutting.
          Exactly!

          This is a well trodden path!

            Where did i criticise Usyk or mention it ******? Inventing arguments to claim wins? If only it was so easy for the fighters you support. Maybe you wouldn't be crying so much.

                  If Usyk wins the tournament (which I don't think he will), I would think he'd fight Ward if the opportunity is there unfortunately.

                  He will also fight in the US where Ward will get his usual VIP treatment from his officials to secure another dull and dirty win.

                    You really haven't got a clue have you? The only market for guys like Usy, Loma and Golovkin to make big money is the US. Sure they might get decent pay being the B side to a Brit but that doesn't really improve there marketability. They need to be noticed in American, which is why they all move there.

                      I pointed out that Ward has exactly that history of not taking the biggest fight available.
