    you do know that Adonis already holds the lineal title don't you? :patsch

    so he can fight him now can't he? then defend against Kovalev for all the marbles.

    he's very skilled at the headbutt. he's very skilled at the jab and grab for twelve rounds. he's very skilled at Wrestling. he's very skilled at using the elbow.

    unfortunately, boxing is the area where he lacks. because he's too busy doing all the other ****, he hasn't got time to box within the rules. :deal

    Golovkin doesn't look like moving up for some time, so for Ward to wait on that would be stupid.

    Chavez is fighting Froch. that pay day has sailed my Friend.

    plus, why can't Ward move back down after those two fights if he wants? :think nothing stopping him if that's the move he wants to make.

    EDIT: the best winning resume of all time at 168? Hahaha... yeah, sure he does. not even close.

    In order for Ward to have REFUSED to fight Adonis Stevens, he would have had to have an offer on the table..

    WHERE IS THE PROOF STEVENS' TEAM APPROACHED WARD'S TEAM FOR A FIGHT?

    If you can't put up a source, then you don't know **** about boxing.....as your VCASH CLEARLY SHOWS :lol:.

    well, Ward knows about it because he answered the question of will he take it. Ward said he had no interest in Stevenson or Kovalev as they do nothing for his legacy. :rofl

    he said the same for Golovkin as well.

    no, he's going to build his great legacy by fighting the likes of a drained Dawson, a nobody in Rodriguez who can't even throw a straight punch to save his life, and a shot Alcoholic in Kelly Pavlik. :patsch

    Ward needs to stay away from the media for his own good. every time he opens his mouth, he puts his foot in it.

    he's even doing it now with the Chavez thing and him fighting Froch instead of him. bitter little imbecile.

    **** the so called experts.

    Bert Sugar was supposedly to be an expert. have you seen his top 100 fighters in history?

    it was criminal.

    i'll take what my own eyes see Thank you very much.

    why would they waste time making offers to a fighter who has come out to the media to say he won't fight him?

    Stevenson has plenty in front of him to keep his focus on instead of a boggle eyed ducker who wants nothing to do with him. Adonis is flying right now. no need to stall your career for a nobody like Andre Ward.

    i never said he was. just making my point that these so called "experts" aren't the masters that some make them out to be. they're anything but.

    Saying a fighter won't get credit for a win is a not a legitimate excuse. Boxers, like everyone else, are paid for their services in cash, not credit. If a bricklayer refused to build a wall because he thinks he wouldn't get any credit for it people would think him an idiot.

    Besides, people who strongly dislike a fighter will always find a way to discredit his victory, if not on the basis of weight then on something else (i.e, that fighter was simply a "hypejob", or was "tailor-made" for him). This is, unfortunately, just part of the sport and happens to all fighters. The perceptions of others is outside your control.

    If a fighter is willing to make weight in the division in which you hold a title and constitutes you biggest threat then you ought to fight him.

    Adonis Stevenson: "I said I would go to Oakland and fight Andre Ward at 168 and then we have the rematch at 175 in Montreal. I still haven't got a response from Andre Ward."
