    I've been saying this for awhile...

    Assuming Ward and Kovalev meet this year or early next, and both remain undefeated - then whoever wins that fight is CLEARLY the rightful heir to Floyd's vacant P4P throne.

    Ward vs Kovalev is THE FIGHT that will crown a true P4P King in the post-Floyd era.

    :lol: I kind of figured you hadn't.

    But if you like him and I think you will, here he is facing Vitalijus Subacius, who's a very tall HW who beat Szpilka in the ams.

    Some of the stuff he does in this match in the last 4 rounds is beautiful.

    Ward hasn't lost since he was 12? Guess him and Kov didn't go to the same Middle School :hat

    Yes, you still don't know Shi'ite about boxing :nut but this was a pretty good breakdown. I agree with your prediction but, lets be honest here, this is a tuneup...

    Not for me. Nothing in my views has changed, although I haven't really followed much boxing since I recorded that last episode, which was this prediction.

    We can't all know a lot about boxing. :D

    And yeah, if Ward wins handily, it will be viewed as a mere tune up, and perhaps rightly so. But given Ward's recent history (or lack thereof), I consider this a true test for someone we've not seen much of at an elite level in recent years, and someone we've never seen at 175 as a professional.

    Fired-up for the fight!

    Work and vacation.

    Been following a bit, but not so much since the weekend of the Chicago protests against Trump.
