    Fair enough regards Ward did beat Froch convincingly for most spectators. Now considering Kovalev was a significantly better fighter than the Froch that Ward would have fought, I think Ward would have had a comfortable decision and Froch agrees with me too.

    I don’t believe Carl wanted that fight just like I don’t believe he wanted the GGG fight he was on his way out riding off a big win why ruin it by taking on someone who admits is a better fighter than him or someone like GGG who he said he would avoid like the plague.

    LOL

    It gets closer everytime he's interviewed.

    Froch was lucky to win 3 rounds.

    I think it was after Dawson, before Rodriguez.

    I think Eddie paid off one of the judges, he had a draw after 10 rounds ffs Lool.

    Lol I think Bivol, Beterbiev and Gvozdyk are all reasons Ward retired. Plus he knows he can’t pull that same disgusting **** he did in his last fight forever. He’ll either finally be caught by a PED testing agency, DQed, someone will squeeze one of his paid off judges, or cracked in his nuts back.

    Ward would be the favourite vs every LHW in the top 10 and rightfully so. Wouldn't be surprised if Ward beat them all. However they are all dangerous and could quite possibly beat Ward if they are on form on the night. Including Kovalev.

    Yup. About right.

    Ward retired because he's almost 34, and has been fighting for 25 years. And that's about the age guys retire. Full stop.

    It was about 12 months really, so is it confirmed that Stevenson’s team put an offer on the table? If they did and it was a good deal then that was a duck. However if we’re going off their advisor talking about maybes then that isn’t a duck, not to mention it was probably around this time that Wards relationship with Goosen fell apart.

    You're post is devoid of sense, not that you're a credible poster to begin with. For a guy that's difficult to negotiate with, you'll be had to find any current fighter with deeper credentials than Ward. Even when Ward is kind enough to return his opponents penalty money for coming to fight night above contract limit, he's still considered the bad guy, which further highlights how disingenuous his critics are.

    Every fighter who has fought Ward since the Super 6 tournament made more money against Ward than they ever made in their career. Every one of them. If I'm lying prove me wrong.
    How much did Kovalev make in his last fight? Exactly!!! Now remain quite and stop posting nonsense.

    You still stalking me? I told you to meet me somewhere so you can polish my pole with those thin red lips.
    I'll blow my load down your spunk gauntlet and you can finally be satisfied unlike Carl Froch is with Andre.

    Nah, Dre retired to avoid The Nail. Who is a stylistic terror for Ward.
