    Stop making stupid people famous on the Internet. Where the listed morons post, I just see "you are ignoring this user", which is far more informative Han anything naysayers and uppercut could ever post.

    People really are clueless on this forum when they compare Froch with Kov, the only similarity is they are both white!

    I don't think Froch has any advantages over Kov, who i think does everything better. People are making out Ward is ultra quick, yes he's quick but he's no RJJ and Kov himself is deceptively quick.

    I'm with Cafe here in that it will start off being cagey with both giving each other respect. Yes Ward may have the speed advantage but his inside game that makes him so hard to beat will be less effective, against a more stronger man in Kov. This is where things will get really interesting as Ward relies heavily on his inside game and clinches. We saw Wlad unravel against a guy as strong or stronger than him in Fury and I can see a similar event with Ward.

    Also Wards lack of punching power will work heavily against him and it will only be a matter of time when he gets hit by Kov. It all depends on how Ward reacts to being hit, but not just being hit but by the biggest puncher of his career. Will it be a case of fight or flight? My guess is he'll go on his bike and try and evade.

    I have Kov winning because he'll have too much for Ward. If Ward had power then I would go for him, but fighting a big powerful guy with a good beard will always be an uphill struggle without power to hold him off. Of course boxers like Floyd and Whitaker have won fights on their defense alone, but they were pure genius and Ward isn't at their level concerning D.

    Every night, before going to bed Kovalev gets on his knees and asks God for a Jab like Andre Ward's.
    God always responds, "Fuk you! Be happy with what you got"!

    Andre Ward has been blessed with ability beyond that of Kovalev's ability to contain.
    This fight, when it happens will remind the world of the true definition of greatness.
    I can't wait. It has the potential of being a great one.

    By ducking.

    And if they ever actually fight Ward is going to retire in his corner.

    You're right he isn't, Kovalev has no chin. Ward knocks him out cold

    What great boxers has Ward actually beat? He has beaten great fighters and tough guys like Froch and AA, but let's not pretend they ever had tremendous skills.

    Past it Kessler? The guy who calzaghe schooled years before?

    And now he's suddenly going to totally school the number 1 LHW in the world who has barely lost a round the last few years even though he has never actually fought in the pro's at LHW :lol:

    Andre Fraud is just as fraudulent as the other us 168 "greats": Jeff Lacy, Roy Jones Jr and James Toney. And all got their ass whooped at light heavyweight, just like Andre Fraud will much sooner than his fanboys think

    Ward has no chin either, and he is feather-fisted.

    And Kovalevs best win is Pascal, who Froch beat years ago. Kovalev isn't some master boxer, by all acounts he was outboxed by Boone in the first fight and looking at the first round of their second encounter you can see why.

    Wards never been knocked out like Kovalev was in the AMs, and his defense is levels above
