    Kov`s shorts were high the ref agreed to punches on the waistband.

    They actually weren't high. In boxing anything below the navel is low. You can see Kov's navel. A borderline shot is when it connects on the beltline AND the skin but even intentionally targeting this area is illegal. Ward wasn't even making contact with the skin. They were low blows for the most part. Now, not EVERYTHING was low obviously but there were a LOT of fouls committed by Ward. Kov also rabbit punched as did Ward especially in the first fight.

    Probably nobody beats Ward. That's the logical answer.

    Wrong! He lost twice officially and got his a$$ whooped! in the second fight. I did have him winning the first fight by the narrowest of margins as did many but that doesnt mean much. #lowblowexcuseisfakenews

    Ward's last punch in boxing was a low blow.

    GGG doesn`t punch as hard as Kov and he couldn`t outbox Ward, GGG is shorter than Ward and may have a shorter reach, I feel a fighter would have to have a longer reach than Ward to beat him, only a few men could beat him with the same reach, a shorter reach gives you a very slim chance, you`d have to be a 168-175lbs version of Loma I feel.

    Doesn't need to punch as hard as the Krusher. He cuts off the ring better, has a better jab, better body conditioning and has enough power to knock Ward's head off his shoulder.

    You know your boy is between a rock and a hard place.

    He better stay retired with his feet up in front of the fire mantle, if he knows what is good for his health.

    Otherwise he will have no option but to get in the ring with anyone of the aforementioned killers, who are all waiting in line to deliver an unforgiving beating on his skull which he would never forget.

    Maybe Bivol... not sure.


    Not Kova.

    And nobody below 168 has much of a chance, imo. Including G.

    Ward, being the money making cash cow, can never lose.. He's like Mayweather.. He's protected because he makes so much money.. He paid off all the refs and judges with his Oakland money...

    Punch yourself in the nuts and then determine.
