Stevenson vs Ward

[Ry92]

Say andre ward actually defended the belt instead of retiring and fought stevenson. how would that fight have faired at the time cause truthfully just as many or more ppl wanted to see kovalov vs stevenson before those plans were altered

I think Stevenson knocks Ward out with straight left hands to the jaw.

If Stevenson didn't want to fight Kov he wouldn't fight a boxer like ward.

His straight left would be his only weapon he'd get picked off all night broken down and stopped different caliber of fighters.

Ward would make it another ugly, boring fight and foul/wrestle his way to a controversial decision.

On the contrary, Stevenson repeatedly called out Ward but Ward ran into retirement instead of unifying and taking the opportunity to become undisputed champion of the world.

He must be kicking himself because we saw how washed up Stevenson was just a fight later when he went life and death with Badou Jack and then got knocked into a coma in his next fight.

Did he actually make any real offer for that fight to happen? I remember Kov calling him out and he never did anything besides theatrics.

Ward would've been too much for him he beat the man who he was too afraid to fight against. If they would've fought he'd have 3 stoppage losses on his record.

Adonis's one dimension wasn't enough to beat Ward.

Ward should have fought him and became undisputed, instead we have another case of “he would have”...

Man boxing fans are so annoying and uneducated about their own sport. It’s still crazy to see the ignorance even after 14 years.

1. I predicted, in all Kovalev-Stevenson threads, that Kovalev would KO him but the fight can’t happen. Stevenson “not wanting” the fight is false.

2. Stevenson and Kovalev couldn’t fight even if they wanted due to promotional and network issues.

3. Ward fought the better of the two, twice.
