Froch believes Bivol is part of the reason Ward retired

Duva and Kovalevs team really fought they would knock out Ward, they believed in the Krushers power that they were willing to concede everything. In a way I admire their courage but it was naive and arrogance too and it backfired.

 

Ward and Froch are my two favorite fighters of the last 15 years, but this comment is dumb as ****. You're telling me Ward wasn't scared of a proven, moster-punching, truly elite LHW who had previously killed an opponent, but kicked it in over a very talented prospect who might end up being elite? Come on.

 

I think he will stop Barerra who is abit too reckless, however I think it will be Bivols toughest fight.

 

stevenson is ducking every live body for years now. ward would have easily beaten him.

 

I know just like he was supposed to be scared of Kovalev, Lool first people said he is scared of GGG, GGG’s team ducked him, then it was Shabranksy who got smoked by Barerra then Kovalev who Ward stopped now Bivol. It’s ridiculous just give the man his due, even Bivol wouldn’t say something like this not sure why another person would.

 

He won’t even fight his mandatory who is B level at best, Stevenson as dangerous as he is has just lost all his the steam that he had when he beat Bellewand Fonfara.

 

Guys at this level, their "comfort zone" is in-ring against the best in the world. Kid has been fighting in national and international high-level competitions since he was 14. Froch was a stone cold warrior no doubt, but he sounds like a wicked sore loser right here.

 

Yep it’s like someone commented earlier that Ward isn’t as talented as Crawford, May and Loma and I said the guy has lost in over 20 years, just coz he doesn’t win in similar fashion to those guys who are flashier doesn’t mean he isn’t as talented. He is obvisiously doing something right when it takes the top 5 p4p man at a higher weight class to push him all the way. Not to mention this is Ward with only 3 fights in 3 years when he takes on the Krusher.

 

stevenson wanted nothing to do with a rematch with fonfara, until smith cracked his chin.

 

i think he retired because he would never again get a payday anywhere near those he earned against kovalev. he wasn't going to risk losing his 0 for a million or less every fight he had in the future would earn him.

 

who was the second guy who died in the ring against kovalev?

 

Don't like Ward but respect his ability. Froch is really reaching with this assessment. Ward schools Bivol at this point in time.

 

Ya, people confuse talent with solely physical talent. He's still a hell of a horse, but what made him special was on the inside.

 

LOL Ward fought Kov, not once, but twice! Hope that clears my post up for you.

 

what on earth does that have to do with you saying kovalev killed two boxers in the ring?
