What do you call a "real fight"? For the record, I admire Ward's skill in the ring but I don't personally feel one way or the other about him. It sounds like you are the one that is biased to me. Ward is supposed to fight Kovalev the end of next year. What more do you want?
A real fight is someone not called Smith, who's not dehydrated or a no hoper. He's fighting at 175 isn't he? Kovalev, Stevenson,Beterbiev would be a real fight but I won't mind if he ends up fighting Hopkins or Pascal to adjust to the weight class. But don't hold your breath on any of them...
Hopkins has flat-out said that he wouldn't fight Ward and Pascal, from what I remember, has more immediate things to think about. You sound like one of those GGG fans who is irked because Ward dissed your boy. I don't care who Ward fights as long as his fights aren't ppv and he keeps his date with Kovalev next year.
This thread doesn't make sense, GGG fanboys are getting desperate, probably because he'll keep fighting weak opposition and the fanboys need a distraction.
So you are happy with Ward's opposition in the last years and you are hopping to keep up the good work. Roger that:rofl
SOB has to always have his three judges, referee, boxing commission, that is always his demand, his hometown, but Vegas is almost in Oakland....................the American judges hate Eastern European fighters and will always score for, actually, they will score for SOB no matter what country they come from. SOB also has to have his commentators, and he hates Harold Lederman, so don't be surprised if Lederman is not allowed to score the fight for HBO this time, afterall, Lederman had the first fight 116 - 111 for Kovalev, actually Roid Jones had Kovalev winning, so did Max, so did almost everyone. Will SOB not allow his fans to come to the fight, you know..................the ones that booed the criminal decision? Kovalev wants to kill SOB in the ring, he knows SOB is a cheat, boxing is a sport, not politics....................................I don't trust Vegas judges at all........................
