    That's right triple duck fans need to take note this is how you chase greatness not fight can after can and then try to call yourself an a talent..

    Ward is very smart. By jumping ahead of the line and beating Kovalev's mandatory, in his first LHW fight, it makes a statement that the top guys at LHW are mere tune ups for him. Haters in denial will have to wake up to how good this guy really is. Of course they already know. But, don't worry, he is about to show you...again. Great move to build up the Kovalev fight.

    This makes no sense at all. He talked about fighting GGG and Lil g didn't want the gravy train to stop so soon. Barrera is a solid first fight at LHW...and is more of a threat than GGG's last few opponents.

    People who DKSAB greatly underestimate Ward's power. They base it on Ward's performance in the Super 6 where he fought the tourny almost completely with one arm. They fail to see the accuracy and power of his straight right now that his should is healed.
    That will change in the upcoming fight.

    Ward TKO10.

    So GGG should go right after Tyron Zeuge so he can pretend he wants a DeGale fight in his 3rd fight at SMW.:patsch:patsch:patsch

    If Ward beats Barrera he will not become the mandatory, that's not how things work.
    Plus he's getting a free shot at Kov anyways.

    And would anyone have a problem with that ?

    Ward isn't pretending that's something GGG does very well .

    Mohammedi was Kovalev's mandatory as well, just FYI. Would it yield Ward major kudos had Kovalev not fought him and Ward faced Mohammedi instead? :yep

    Yes Barrera is a good test, was just saying I highly doubt Ward picked him because he's mandatory to Kov.
