    Ward would crush DeGale and his ego.

    Yeah.

    GGG has said all along he will go to 168 or 154 but only for a PPV fight.

    He becomes PPV and his first PPV fight is tonight, Ward then makes an "offer" to fight him, AFTER all the contracts have been signed against Lemieux, then he decideds to move up.

    His fanboys buy it and apparently it's GGG that ducked Ward according to them not the other way round. :lol:

    Yeah, he's ducking Degale to challenge far more dangerous opposition. Brits :rofl

    He's going to LHW because he's too big to cut to 168 now.

    It's rather interesting, Ward himself has said if someone calls him out he will fight, he did with GGG anyway. But he seems to be ignoring DeGale, just like he ignored Stevenson and Bute's call outs. Ward is a *****.

    He didn't fight GGG. He ran to Light Heavyweight the minute the fight became feasible.

    Ward/Froch wasn't close. Some of you need to stop scoring fights.

    Are you an idiot?, don't answer that because you are.
    Loeffler said Ward in 2017 is whats feasible, so how is that Ward's fault? Offering to fight Triple G before he moves to 175.

    Also moving to a weight class in which many Ward ditracters have said he should be fighting at for a long time now.

    Ward fighting against bigger heavy punchers including a much tougher fight with Kovalev shows he's ducking Triple G who is smaller than Ward?

    The problem you have is he embarrassed your fellow brit in Froch and have been hurt ever since.

    Its possible. Ward is a talented fighter, but I have not yet seen him against a top boxer/mover or top undefeated fighter and he didnt fight Andre Dirrell, wasnt interested in Bute and apparently decided against defending against Degale

    some need to be able to score without listening to the commentary.
    Even if you scored wide for one fighter, there were many close rounds where little happened or lots of holding. It was by no means a schooling

    Has Ward agreed or signed to fight Kovalev?

    exactly, Ward is taking the Mayweather route: easiest opponent for the most posssible $$$ that Jay Z will pay him
