    Ward has already made his intentions known about retiring, which is a classic hit and run of his before he makes it his favourite pastime of holding his belts hostage.

    Which is a shame as he could have made tens of millions of dollars more had he had more courage.

    Ward is tailor made for Beterbiev, absolutely tailor made.

    When Ward talks about his "inside game" Beterbiev starts smacking his lips and gets a faraway look in his eyes.

    So, Beterbiev apparently hits harder than Stevenson, HW Rivas, HW Bogdan Dinu, etc...

    ...he's the only one who made the 2nd level of GYM headquarters shake from underneath workers' feet when he first hit the heavy bag down in the gym as part of his 'trial'. Every fighter that comes through for a trial @ GYM trains for a week with Marc Ramsay and either leaves or stays at the end of that week. Beterbiev is the only one who had Yvon Michel's secretary, who sits/works directly above the gym area where the heavy bag is mounted (anchored), complain about the floor shaking. She thought something was wrong with the building, or that heavy construction had begun nearby. It was Artur walloping that bag. After a few hours on the first day of a trial week, Beterbiev was signed.

    Remind me but were you not the Bute fan who watched Bute against Froch?

    No. Stop being so overly sensitive
    I cant remember who it was who was saying they were from Canada and going to England to watch the fight. I certainly did

    Overly sensitive? What intense emotion did you read out of my post, O psychic? You're telling me to "stop" something, what are you my wife? My dad? An internet cop?? That's exactly why you live on forums and don't bother with the real world, bailey. You make shyt up and try to use conjecture as fact - you would get put down after speaking your mind for just 30 seconds in a proper sports bar. I used 'moddafokka' and a popcorn face, you take that as being sensitive to something. My lord.

    By the way, YES I did travel overseas to go watch the fight - with a TOTAL stranger from what used to be ESB back in the day. Didn't get killed, and even made a video for PimpC at the Leeds train station before I left for London.

    What have YOU done as a boxing fan? Have you traveled outside the UK to see a fight? Oh I'm sorry, I shouldn't say "UK" as you get a bit sensitive on England and Wales being worlds apart as if they were Ukraine and Mexico. Have you traveled outside of England then?

    What a sensitive, I mean sensible post, don't you think? :icon_popcorn:

    At this stage I'd favor Ward to UD both Stevenson and Arthur while he's biggest threat would still be SK. The rematch should and I believe will happen though I wouldn't be surprised if Ward fought and beat Adonis and/or Arthur before taking on SK again.

    Weirdo. Not sure why you thought you may get killed? This whole post showed the emotions that showed you to be overly sensitive. That doesnt take being associated with you to know that.
    All that and you could have just answered with a simple yes.
    Guess that fight took something out of you with this response. Still I do know one thing and that is someone as sensitive as yourself wouldnt be the person to put me down. I can tell by that post alone that there would be tears before you get the words out.
    Anyhow thought it was you but couldnt remember for sure. For the record I liked Bute and went to watch him and favoured him to beat Froch at that time.
    What is it with that, that you think is invented and attempted to be made off as a fact. Nothing and you being overly sensitive

    Kovalev can't fight on the insider worth ****. I think ward figured that out after the 7th round. I didn't think the second half went to kovalev or even a draw unlike majority of the people here.

    That's a pretty tough pair of fight for Ward if they were to happen. Individually I'd pick Ward to win each fight but the idea of getting past both is a big task.

    The fight I'd prefer is Kovalev-Beterbiev. That might be the best action fight in the entire sport, especially among top level fighters.

    Beterbiex is easy work for Ward, but does Beterbiv deserve the fight? Hell No!

    Match Beterbiev up with Sam Smith so both of them can prove their worth.
