Is this his grand plan? Pull out of fights, stall as much as possible, then when it comes to negotiations, draw them out and make ridiculous demands and stipulations Hell he might even deliberately get himself busted for doping to completely throw off the fight
Kovalev will stay at 175 for a few more years, he got some diet and rehydration tips from Hopkins. He had a hard time making weight for Pascal but much better camp for Mohammedi. Ward simply wants to milk HBO for a few tune ups then move on somewhere else.
Despite being a complete waste of talent, Ward's highly intelligent and articulate - can see how he fooled these guys into giving him a 3 fight deal He seems to have fooled a few posters on here, but the vast majority know whassup and just enjoy the attention they get by trolling/pretending to support him and his actions He plays the Mayweather game to a T - minimum risk (zero where possible) for maximum dolla He's a businessman first and foremost, and could care less about his 5 fans
Isn't Kovalev already like 33 years old. He better hurry up and beat him soon or nobody will ever give him credit.
We see the same storyline played put all the time. "_ is running from (insert latest big name knockout puncher). When they meet his glass chin will get smashed!". We see it day in day out months on end until these guys meet. Wash and repeat. Rigo vs Donaire. May & Mosley/ Pac/ Canelo/ Ortiz/ Guerrero (I'm not lying on the last two. Check the archives) Garcia & Matthysse Kahn & Maidana I can even pull up a comment I made on a thread where people were clowning Broner for not fighting Matthysse or Maidana yet where I said I heard Broner say in a radio interview he would be fighting one or the other. And now we can look forward to Ward & Kovalev. Smh. The more things change the more they stay the same at this place lol.
Ward seems to be much older, both physically and mentally than Kovalev. It is probably a result of PEDs abuse.
Ward is the most talked about man in boxing today!! And people say he doesn't have a fanbase? What a bunch of BS:rofl
