Is Ward stalling in the hope Kovalev outgrows 175?

    you are delusional.......

    beating two top 10-15 lhws doesnt put ward in the position to dictate to kovalev......no way no how.....never....not in any universe....this one or an alternate one

    By that time, Pascal would be stopped twice by Kova, so Ward outhugging somebody who drew with Pascal woudn't make any difference.

    Kovalev isn't going to outgrow light heavy, he's not huge at the weight, just compare his build to guys like Drozd or Lebedev, he's clearly a natural light heavy.

    Ward is just being Ward, injury prone, inactive, poorly managed and poorly advised. I'd be amazed if Ward has 3 fights in 2016, I'd be happy with just 2 fights as long as one of them is Kovalev.

    Kovalev was fighting at MW in amateurs at the same time when younger Ward fought at LHW.

    Gonzales is the perfect preparation for Kovalev. It will get Ward used to being in the ring with a larger man. Gonzales doesn't hit hard like Kovalev so Ward could try other things and like I said before just get accustomed to pushing around a legit LHW.

    Kovalev is smaller than Dawson and about the same size as Hopkins. I really doubt he's struggling to make 175.

    Kovalev looked taller than Hopkins. His arms are also longer.

    "What's the rush?" means he doesn't want to fight.
