    Do you think that a fight with Kovalev is something that Ward will look to avoid?

    a rematch with Froch, GGG, MArtinez or way more intresting fights to me.

    Who has GGG beat? GGG would also need to go up weight again to fight Ward.

    I'd like to see it because I believe that Kovalev has the best chance of beating Ward out of everybody, especially fighting at 175.

    I think Stevenson has a better shot at beating Ward than Kov and I favour him over Kov as well.

    No offence but when you have had just 256 views of your profile in over 6 years on esb then your opinion is basically worthless Jasper :yep:deal:nono

    Chavez Jr would be a bigger fight for Ward than Kovalev. Maybe even a Froch Rematch as well, if he puts out Groves.

    Krusher isn't a big name yet.

    Not necessarily talking biggest fight vulva because we both know that ward bores the **** outta the majority, we are talking a fight you'd most like to watch. Would you prefer to watch ward fight chavez jnr over ward v kovalev?

    Id prefer to watch Kovalev but don't see it happening. Ward is staying put for the time being.

    Stevenson is probably a bigger threat to Ward than Kovalev.

    Thats fine if thats what u want to see, just know its not that big of a fight.

    GGG has fought almost everybody at Middle weight expect for Murray (who just ducked him) and martinez. beat everybody else. who has Kovalev beat?? 1 person right? hes got alot more to do. everybody loves people with power but they get shut down very quick but somebody whos got a good plan. via Garcia-Matthysse and Ward would do the same IMO

    I do not know why everyone is sleeping on Superman . . . his record is far better and he is a lot more versatile than Kov. I like Kov but his best win is over the very limited (and fragile) Cleverley

    I suppose Ward could take advantage of Stevenson's lack of speed, and perhaps, (lack of an inside game?), but Stevenson's solid fundamentals, savy defense, and punching power make him a very formidable opponent.

    Lack of speed? Stevenson has ridiculous handspeed for a LHW
