Is Bivol better than Prime Ward?

Canelo challenged Bivol not the other way around. Even though it was "Bivol's" weight and his belt Canelo was the favorite...and there's a reason for that. Dude was on an absolute tear and Bivol humiliated and dominated. To make matters worse Bivol offered Canelo the rematch at 168 and Canelo refused lol.

Bivol never cried about weights, like Ward, and Bivol did what had to be done to make great fights (Canelo, Beterbiev). Bivol's best win is better than any best win Ward ever had...and Ward refused to come out of retirement to fight Canelo, too. Bivol also has good wins in Barrera, Smith Jr., Pascal, and Arthur. Those wins are comparable to Kessler, Froch, Abraham, and drained to death Dawson.

I'll take Bivol's career if I had to pick. He has no free wins like Ward in Kovalev 1. He has an exciting style not a foup-filled grappling style. And Bivol would win head-to-head.

 

Protected yes you heard me right

 

Yep! It’s funny to see all the Ward clowns failing to admit Kov won that first fight hands down. Ward was a dirty feather fisted cheater. He scurried away from the sport rather than face guys like Bivol and Beterbiev. Ward was no dummy.

 

no one thought ward lost more than ward. watch him moping dejectedly until he hears the scores and realizes kovalev got one of the biggest shaft jobs outside of lewis-holyfield 1

 

Ward retired way too early imo few more solid wins he'd be up there with atg

 

What are you, a behavior scientist?

 

anyone with a brain can read that body language.

 

Ward easily beat Froch in New Jersey, which is halfway between Froch's England and Ward's Oakland. AND I felt Ward lost to Kov in their 1st. However that is a moot point because Froch was at 168.

 

Prime Kov was 1 tough hombre.

 

He lost to prune Kovalev though.

 

Bivol would box Wards ears off but Ward wouldn't fight anywhere but at home where , like Floyd, he knew he would never lose a decision as long as he was standing at the final bell. That was proven time & time again.
Ward retired so he wouldn't be forced to fight Bivol or Beterbiev

 

No he didn't Get that right Kovalev easily won fight one but got the shaft. On fight 2 Kovalev should have won that when Ward got DQ'D for blatant continuous low blows that ref Tony Weekes blatantly ignored. especially that final barrage to Kov's testes that Weekes claimed was a legit TKO Both Ward & Weekes should have been banned for that disgusting performance

 

I bet you can always tell when someone is lying too!

 

Definitely more skilled, and not afraid to fight outside his home town.
