Comments Thread For: Andre Ward's Coach on Bellew: If Offer is Right - Never Say Never

[tokon]

shocker, Ward pulls the "retirement" card so he won't get tested, only to come back a year later at a higher weight class.

Not su****ious at all...

Yes, I'd like to see WADA turn up unannounced on his doorstep . . . .

Well if the WBSS winner moves to heavyweight, that creates 4 vacant belts. It would be easy to see Ward-Bellew for the vacant WBC cruiserweight title in late 2018 or early 2019.

Ward becomes a 3-weight champ.

But I thought ward wanted Joshua?

See a lot of folks trashing Bellew. If he were to beat the Usyk-Gassiev winner, would he then be an acceptable opponent for Ward?

Yeah but that would never happen. That's like saying if broner beat Errol Spence would he be an acceptable opponent for Thurman.

Ward is a future HOF and will go down as an ATG!

He can do what the *** he wants!

He's earned the right to cherry pick unlike Stevenson, Lemonchenko, and David Haye!

Bellew has no shot against either winner of the WBSS at cruiser, Usyk would toy with him and Gassiev would put him in the emergency room!

So a Ward vs Bellew fight makes sense, safe money retirement fight for Ward and a money fight safe last fight for Bellew!

Now, if Bellew somehow beats the winner of the WBSS at cruiser tourney and Ward fights an beats him for all the belts then Ward must be in top 20 ATG or even Top 30 ATG!

Unified 168, cleaned tourney

Unified 175, beat top 5 p4p prime undefeated champ at weight

Beat undisputed 200 champ!

Ward would deserve his own movie if that was to happen...but i doubt it!

Nice. Hopefully we get to see Ward fight again.

The man doesn't have to but if he comes back he will be back on the #1 P4P spot automatically.

Bellew has a much better chance against the cruiserweight tourney winner than Broner would against Spence.

I give them both no chance. Bellew lost at light heavy to cleverly and Stevenson and sc****d past Chilemba. Whether you think usyk gassiev are overrated, they are a damn sight better than bellew. I'd favour breidis and dortocos against him too. Thing is I quite like bellew Too, but he's a limited fighter.

I’m sure Bellew and his supporters would counter that his struggles at light heavyweight stem from draining himself to make the weight. And since he moved outta the division, he’s been unbeaten. Whether there’s any truth to it or not. And technically, he’s a true beltholder as a cruiserweight. I think the WBC has him as their Emertis champ. Whatever the hell that is. I know he never lost the belt in the ring.
