Ward never fought an undefeated world class opponent. Does he has the balls to step in the ring with someone who literally kills people in the ring? Or will he hide in Oakland fighting the pavliks of boxing until he retires?
I think 2 conditions will have to be met for this fight to go ahead. 1) Fight needs to take place in Oakland 2) Kovalev needs to boil down in weight like Dawson So unlikely. Ward will be content on calling himself "the man" whilst sitting around for the next couple of years.
So he's ready if he turns Kovalev into a mummy, just like he did with Dawson. But the thing is Kovalev is undefeated and he's no bum like Dawson, i don't think Warddke can handle that.
Make it at 175lb and make ward get a passport.... He will be then doing a Boone chicken dance special across the whole ring...
he fought an undefeated world champion his last fight. how many of those Warddke fought? that's right, keep counting....
should be at light heavy! If ward wants to prove he is p4p number two then he needs to get rid of all challenges and doubt.
Ward saying he's the man, and no challenge at 168, so simple step up and take on bigger challenges at LHW. All the best champs have been doing it in recent years, so you've cleaned up 168, so take on a dangerous foe at 175.
Warddke doesn't fight undefeated challengers and you all know it. Warddke will wait another 2 years and he'll make a superfight with Pavlik, in Oakland. He's on vacation til then.
Koralev didn't even want to fight Hopkins even though he was his manditory. The big bad Russian ducked a 50 year old man:hi:
