Hypothetically would you give Ward credit...

I'd be beyond shocked if Andre 'The Road Warrior' Ward made those fighters you mentioned fair offers so the fights could happen

 

The people saying Ward is going up to LHW to avoid Golovkin have be trolling.

 

Also, I would be shocked if Ward fights Kovalev or Stevens in his second fight at LHW.

 

If Andre finishes a 3 fight contract in less than 3 years, I'll give him props.

I've always respected his skills, but damn, this guy sabotages his career worse than Winky did. I'd be thrilled if he got back on track and got back in the ring more often.

 

Given Ward's recent history there is absolutely no reason to think that the last fight of a 3 fight deal would take place before 2019.

 

Ive been calling for Ward to move up for quite some time after the super six. he left a sour taste after he wouldnt fight Bute for a unification instead leaving the door open for Froch to revitalise his career. then same thing again when he had the chance to make a name for himself by moving up to fight Chad Dawson at 175 . . . . instead drained him down in weight.

Now after the long layoff from the stinker that was the Rodriguez fight (although granted all of Wards fights are unwatchable to me) he chose to fight an overweight Paul smith coming off two losses.

All that being said if he were to fight a tune up fight at 175, id be okay with Fonfara (possibly Cleverly should he somehow win) but as far as chavez is concerned it would just be another waste. there are plenty more deserving fights such as Alvarez, Beterbiev, Braehmer, Oosthuzien, Chilemba, Pascal but the trouble is Ward would likely price himself out against the Big names and refuse to travel as he always does.

should he somehow beat Kovalev legitimately I would give him credit but he has a habit of turning fights ugly with excessive clinching and his use of the head ..... its nothing to do with him being a black guy with next to no punching power, I actually enjoy a lot of Bernard Hopkins fights and would sooner rewatch the Calzaghe/Jones 2 bouts than sit through another Ward snoozefest

 

Sure, I said before beating Beterbiev and Kovalev would be quite insane. Stevenson I think he's beatable but he deserves great credit for beating him too.

 

yep, look at their names. They are the usual trolls.

 

You just had to put "because he's black" didn't you? Grow the **** up.

 

No, no I wouldnt. In the privacy of my own home I would, but on here I wouldn't. Besides, let's face it, he'd half to be on that A-side meth to beat the Krusher. If Ward actually agrees to a contract to fight Sergey, with drug testing, and puts on a halfway competitive effort I'd be absolutely shocked.

 

Ward has become my least favorite Irish fighter.

 

Stevenson would be 40 by the time Ward decides to fight him. I would not give too much credit for that. A clean win over Kovalev would deserve huge props.

 

Full props for sure. Anyone who would do otherwise is pure hater.
