    This seems like hype to try to build up Ward's image. I don't think anyone takes this seriously. In the past, I think Ward said he could beat a Klitschko. Just silly talk.

    Ward would not fare well against Usyk. Putting him against someone even larger would be like premeditated murder.

    Again though, I think Ward and his team know this. Seems like hype to get people talking about Ward.

    This is beyond stupid. Be funny to see it happen though just for the spectacle of Ward trying to tie up/low blow/headbutt AJ before being KTFO.

    Seriously - I have no idea what Hunter and Andre are thinking here.

    Sure he can beat Josh, just use the same referee they used yesterday and have Ward bludgeon Josh into submission via low blows and have the ref stop the fight instead of giving time for recuperation or an eight count. Then have the commentators ready to say they didn't see any low blows.

    Perfect formula for a victory!

    Ward seems to be back tracking now. He said it's his trainers job to expect he can beat the best guys in the world.. It's just trainer talk he said. He said he wants nothing to do with AJ right now. lol they shouldn't talk so big if they aren't really prepared to back it up.

    AJ would put Ward in a body bag.

    It has as much chance of happening as Mayweather V McGregor.......Oh wait!!!

    ALL THAT aside, I can actually see Hearn setting up Ward V Bellew with the winner getting AJ.

    McGregor has a better chance beating Floyd than Ward has beating Joshua.

    Ward won't come in looking like that though. He'll be coming in at 270lbs with no Vada testing and a huge hole in his arm where he injected the T-Virus into himself.

    so what numbers did ward-kovalev 2 do on ppv? i think ward is mouthing off because he knows he brings no money to the table. there is no reason for joshua to fight him. if he does, ward gets a very nice cash out.

    Mayweather will school McGregor but no one is worried that he'll kill him.

    The difference is McGregor comes away from that fight with minor bruises and gets paid a ridiculously high amount.

    Ward comes away with the worst beating of his life and could potentially die in the ring against AJ.

    The only way Ward is beating Joshua at HW is if he circles the ring for 12 rounds making Joshua hit wind and winning on the scorecards in Vegas for controlling the fight.

    yep

    Ward vs Joshua is just one step above McGregor vs Mayweather--a circus side show that's more spectacle than sport and so there's no real "winner" or "loser"

    But it's easy to see how the Hunter-Ward opportunistic mindset came up with Joshua:

    let's see, we can stay at LHW and our mandos will be from this lot: Bivol, Beterbiev, and Gvozdyk​

    *$#k that! what about CW?

    Well just this chap named Olexandr Usyk, a Cossack beast

    ok, what about HW?​
