    I agree ,in fact it would be great if intelligent fans just boycotted all of Wards fights. He is so boring & a stain on boxing.

    I think Beterbiev if he makes manhandling his primary style is virtually unstoppable, and Ward's inside work may not be so effective against the physically strongest LHW ever who likes to ragdoll.

    They'd be like a pair of pinballs flying around the arena taking out everyone they came into contact with

    I need more yet. He hasn't done enough to fully gauge him.. Beating a Eleider Alvarez or Smith Jr would definitely put the division on notice. He does look freakishly calm & supernaturally powerful..

    Let's see Beterbiev vs Kovalev first. Want to see if he's legit before forming opinions.

    Just like Ward would never fight or rematch Kov right?

    Ward will continue to pretend Beter doesn't exist.

    I've never heard him once mention his name.

    Ward would easily outbox Beterbiev, like 12-0 easy. Artur has very little boxing ability and just relies on his strength and power, which Ward can easily neutralize.

    This exactly.

    I do not like Ward's style, but I admit that it's ultra-effective and Beterbiev is tailor-made for him. Beterbiev is an easier matchup for Ward than is Kovalev. I consider Ward's ring IQ to be levels above Kovalev's and I attribute that huge gap as the main factor in Saturday's outcome. The Ward/Beterbiev IQ gap may be wider than the Ward/Kosalev gap.

    I've always favoured Beterbiev against Ward.

    I haven't seen enough of Beterbiev against top opposition to honestly pick him against Ward. Not that I don't think he's capable of being challenge but...I just need to see more of the guy

    I think he would be an issue for Ward early on... Like 3-4 rounds. If Ward gets out of those then it's easy work without a doubt.
