    He’s certainly a cleaner fighter and a classier one.

    Bivol
    He travels and is open to rematches and moves weight
    Ward is a biatch that was protected

    No one beats Ward. After 3 rounds of low blows and head butts and completely unnecessary clinching there would be nothing left of the russians footwork. Then Ward would go in for the kill, by what I mean a boring hometown UD that will lose the sport another 50k fans.

    100% ward right now
    Maybe bivol will change that with his next fight, but I think he is getting smashed

    Who has bivol beaten? Ward would school canelo too

    Bivol has beaten champions from his weight class. Joe Smith, Pascal, and even though he came up in weight Clenelo did win a legit world title at LHW. Zurdo was a champ at 168 and is the current WBA CW champ

    And Bivol is a small LHW who is almost always the smaller or much smaller guy in terms of weight. Hence why there was only a 3-5lbs max weight difference between him and Clenelo on the night.

    FTR, Ward weighed more than Bivol has ever weighed for his full LHW debut. Bivol 180-184 max vs Ward weighing 186 against Sullivan Barrera

    We know Ward has a better resume but he's also had 32 fights to Bivol's 22 and, as said, Ward is a deck-stacking filthy dirty serial cheat whose entire style hinged on the excusive use of fouling and cheating like crazy and who refused to ever travel or fight on a level playing field, whereas, conversely, Bivol wins all his fights via clean boxing and pure skill and he has no qualms about fighting on a level playing field or one stacked heavily against him.

    ROFLMAO Ward TOLD everyone how great a fighter he was but certainly didn't show it. Both Beterbiev & Bivol are streets better than Head banger Ball buster Ward they were the main reason he retired

    Finally realized how Canelo was conning you after all those years huh LOL Ward suffered the same impediments as Canelo. He refused to fight away from home where he had the hometown officials watching his back. He never once LEGITIMATELY beat Kovalev. Ward's homey officials, especially Tony Weekes who totally ignored Ward 's barrage on Kov's testes. Neither Ward nor Canelo would have a prayer against Beterbiev or Bivol Look how he whipped him like the proverbial top. Bivol Spanked Canelo lol

    Ward retired so he would never have to fight Bivol & Beterbiev He knew he could never beat either

    Ward has the greater career and intangibles that can't be taught. Bivol's always been the truth. Hard to say whose "better", their different and have that DOG in em.

    True, if Bivol didn't wear a cup Ward stands a good chance of getting the decision.
