    Yes he has, and now he's coming back to dominate 168 again. :yep

    Paul Smith or as mentioned above Gilberto Ramirez Sanchez would be my two guesses

    That wouldnt shock me and he looks beatable and as you note slow.
    Ward hasnt shown interest in facing boxer/mover types

    Great news. He could end up p4p #1 at the end of the year if Floyd loses and he fights Froch after this

    Yes. Slow being the optimal word.

    Plus he's rated as high as #2 by the WBC (don't ask why), as high as #4 by the WBA (don't ask why), as high as #3 by the IBF (don't ask why), has fought on HBO Latino, the fight's in California (lots of Mexicans live in California) ...

    And HE'S VERY SLOW.

    Did I mention that before? The part about him being slow?

    :roll:

    Unless he has somehow convinced Froch to fight in Oakland I will be disappointed. I suspected the fight wouldn't get made and this only confirms my fears.

    WBA mandated he must face Froch, will he be stripped of his title? WBA ordered fight must take place with Froch by the 28th June.
     
  11. What a dunce

    If he goes to 175 kovalev will kill him

    Not sure about Beterbiev, but Sergey 'the racist' Kovalev is definitely packing glass.

    how does he intend to fill 20K seats? MVC said he won't see it live, so that brings the fightnight audience down to 11

    Bizarre if true. Ward as the actual champion is the one who is expected to be stripped if the fight doesn't happen as the onus is on the champion to face his number one contender not the other way round. It's like demoting a number 1 contender if the can't come to terms. And if they can't come to terms it goes to purse bids and with Ward arranging another fight isn't he the one who has clearly avoided the fight?

    Also the WBA is going to make far more money in fees from any Froch fight compared to any Ward fight. Very strange if true.
