    Because for one, the IBF is pretty strict in enforcing their mando.

    And second, the winner of the Beterbiev/Koelling fight (in July) will be that mando, and most likely be Beterbiev win that fight.

    Beterbiev would be a bad matchup for Ward, the dude is a vicious puncher from the inside, and generally likes to fight on the inside but would Ward vacate the IBF cuz of him? Or prove he's p4p #1 like Max Kellerman says he is and fight him?

    Once Beterbiev becomes mandatory, Ward will drop the IBF belt faster than one of his fanboy mascots signing off for a welfare form,

    Kellerman also said that the last blow Ward landed on Kov was legal.

    Andre Ward is not a ducker, but he won't fight Beterbiev.

    If Ward were still 27 it might be different, but at this stage of his career Ward only wants the money fights. Beterbiev is just too high risk and low reward. Even legacy wise - a win over Beterbiev doesn't do that much.

    He will drop, ward fans will make excuses but there's not the money that ward wants in this fight.

    Yes. He'll chase 'the names' not the defenses IMO

    At this point you guys are like a broken clock. You create these boogie men only to have Andre the "Krusher" Ward disarm and destroy them.

    Money fights ? He just got paid 6 millions by Roc Nation for the rematch, while Kovalev will be lucky to get 500k from the ppv money. Whoever they put in front of him Roc will pay. And right now, there are no PPV fights at 175lbs.

    I see him confidently moving up to HW, ruining his health irreparably coming back down to his regular weight and getting knocked out repeatedly as happened to Jones.
