Stevenson called out Ward live on HBO, but Ward refused to even respond to him, Stevenson even said that he would come down to 168, but against SOB Ward refused to answer. When asked if he would fight Kovalev, Ward said that Kovalev was too big for him, yet Ward was a light heavyweight as an amateur. Kovalev would knock Ward out and Ward knows it.....................no to mention that Ward will only fight in his home town with his personal referee, judges, boxing commission, etc., can't make any money by fight Ward, but Ward will not fight anyway........................Kovalev would knock Ward out cold.................
If he was an active fighter I'd agree. Who knows what Ward is these days. A huge disappointment, I had him as pound for pound number one before he retired.
Well back when he was active people were saying he was #2 P$P, some were even saying he was #1 P4P so he should be able to beat Kovalev if that's the case.
He could do it , dont know about decisively but he could do it . The question is will he dare and try?????
Would Ward consider fighting Kovalev though? I read that he isnt interested in going to LHW, he didnt fight Bute, didnt fight Dirrell and hasnt fought for a while
