    Ward signed a bunch of stuff with Goosen too, doesn't mean anything.
    Fact is, Kov is fighting Pascal then Stevenson or winner of Barrera/Murat in the summer.

    So you're accusing Kathy Duva of being a lie.

    No, I'm accusing Ward of being a fraud and not following up on his obligations. He has done it in the past.

    I don't give a **** what he signed to do next November. Right now he has nothing to show for his sorry ass.

    Come on man. Did Floyd cheat?

    I know you said Pac cheated, and Floyd has WAY MORE **** on him than Pac.

    So did Floyd cheat???

    You tell me, what athlete of Floyd's caliber has a T to E ratio of a 138 1/2 year old man?

    Come on. Don't be a hypocrite.

    Well, if people believe Andre, he's just admitted that he had been pursuing the easy way out for the better part of a year. He was targeting Golovkin and didn't sign the contract for the Kovalev fight until he was forced to.

    Alt, Kov is a better fighter than GG in all phases.

    I don't know if I agree. GGG is a silver medalist. I know that Kovalev beat Hopkins without much trouble, but he has regressed since then.

    Kovalev has been fighting wreckless in his last few fights and has looked vulnerable. He's been fighting when he should be boxing, and throwing punches with his chin in the air. He also keeps his right hand low, even on the inside.

    GGG has never looked vulnerable. His competition hasn't been as good as Pascal's, with the exception of Rosado and Lemiuex, but GGG has displayed an excellent overall game.

    I think GGG has one of the best jabs in boxing. I would like to see GGG against Canelo. I think that would be a great fight.

    I agree Kovalev is a better opponent for Ward.
    He enters the ring at least 15 pounds heavier than GGG.

    I will give major props to Ward if he beats Kovalev.

    Kov has been fighting real threats. GG hasn't.

    Same here because I don't think that Wad can beat Kov.

    I don't think a lot of that is GGG's fault. Who will fight him? Canelo is putting forth a ridiculous stipulation and Quillin won't go anywhere near him.

    Maybe the winner of the Quillin vs Jacobs fight will fight GGG. That could be a competitive fight, but it may not happen.

    Kovalev has been fighting better opposition, and beating better opposition, but I don't think he is as refined as GGG.

    That's why I'm saying, I would love to see GGG in with Canelo. I think both of them are immensely talented, and it would be a great fight to see.

    That would show where both guys stand.

    I think Ward can beat Kovalev. I think Ward would beat GGG as well, but GGG vs Ward would be a fight at higher technical level.

    Kovalev is just not refined enough to beat Ward. Then again, Ward is having a lot of physical problems. He might not be the same guy anymore.

    I've got bad news for Ward--you lose to both, son.
