Problem is no one wants to fight Beterbiev and for good reason. Ward can't even summon the courage to clear his throat and pronounce his name, for fear of what it would mean. Better pretend to keep his name unknownth to his fanbase lest they begin pushing for Ward to step in the ring with his destroyer.
You are taking the one of the best against an unproven fighter that tells a lot about your boxing IQ, boxing 101 never take a puncher over a boxer.
I don't think Ward wants that kind of work at this stage of his career. He's chasing big money fight.
AB is a different breed to your average puncher. He hunts and mauls before scalping his opponent. This is Sparta!
Im a fan and think Beterbiev may end up being better then Kovalev but Cloud was probably his toughest opponent and I would like to see him step up in competition. Beterbiev has the power to trouble Ward or anybody obviously but at this stage he is just raw potential and I easily favour Ward to win. Sadly Ward has so many haters I doubt he would in a poll against anybody at the moment,despite being 1 of the best if not the best P4P at the moment.
Explain to me how Beterbiev beats Ward. Break it down for me. You say on paper the style advantage favors Beterbiev, but honestly you couldn't be more wrong.
Ward can box and Ward can fight inside...and his defense fighting inside is damn near flawless. You can just walk in the ring and start brawling Ward. That won't work on Ward.
Lucky for you we'll never find out since Ward will avoid Beterbiev at all costs, you worthless racist troll.
