    How dare you, you cry like ***** because I say Karpency who was utterly destroyed by or thoroughly outclassed by Murat, Fonfara, Cleverly and Rayco Saunders was a garbage opponent for Stevenson because he drew with and got a gift against a half dead Dawson. And now you start getting your passive aggressive jabs in on Kovalev, your hypocrisy know no bounds. All three of them are just as good as Karpency and Thomas Williams Jr. especially since Williams Jr. was almost KO'd by White and was stopped by Campillo two Kovalev victims. Yet you defend Stevenson.:smh

    Maybe Ward should face that future ATG Marcus Browne.:rofl

    the simple answer to this question is...

    "hbo is so hot to move ward away from golovkin and to make ward/kova they were willing to pay ward 2 mil for a sparring session...and ward will milk them for it...he missed 2 years of pay....would u not take 2 mil to spar on tv"?

    Ward would make more than 2 million if he beat Kovalev and followed that up with a series of A-level opponents, but he has realized that Kovalev is not a very winnable fight, so he prefers to earn less fighting cab drivers because that's easy certain money. Only fearless fighters like Evander Holyfield fight all the best.

    I'm not a fan of Golovkin and I've been chastising him for avoiding Eubank. But judging from the way you write, I don't expect you to be able to read my posts.

    Why ask people if you already have this set in your mind?

    Andre Ward wants to be the best. You gotta beat the best if you wanna be the best. Who's the best cab driver in the world? That's right! If Ward beats Brands he will win Kessler's belt, the world best cab drivers beater

    1. Ward tried to get a better opponent.
    2. Brand is a lot better than you think he is, go and watch his past fights.
    3. He has signed to fight Kovalev
    4. If you think Groves beats Ward I guess you must be trolling.

    Let me get this straight. He verbally agreed to fight Kovalev to much fanfare with HBO and the whole boxing world talking about the deal.

    Then a few days later he decided to watch some Kovalev tapes?

    He was bored, sitting around at home and idly decided to type "Kovalev" into Youtube. And then he was like "oops, I goofed up, this guy is pretty good. I probably should have done this before I made a huge and well-publicized commitment to fight this monster".

    That seems plausible to you?

    "Stevenson still fights?!??"

    -That's what was said.
     
  15. So he can continue to avoid Stevenson and Kovalev.
