    Ward fights above 175 on fight night. He is in his prime rates as one of boxing top pound for pound fighters with wins over Froch, Kessler, Abraham, and Dawson. Ward is undefeated.

    Ward's last fight was at 175. If Kovalev beats Ward, he has wall space reserved in Canastota.

    But I'm sure you'll make an issue of Ward not being a natural light heavyweight, even though if I point out that **** Tiger was old ( 38 ) short ( 5'8" tall ) and far lighter than Ward will be v ( 168 pounds ) when he fought Bob Foster...and **** Tiger is likely Fosters best win at light heavyweight!

    Heck Jack Johnson made a living on fighting short and light guys in title matches, one of whom floored him, the other made him look bad. And they were super middles

    1, but he's a light heavyweight now, and has weighed over 175 for many of his fights. At 6 feet, he has the body size to fight here. Ward even said he wants to move up past light heavyweight. No one can say Ward is too small for light heavyweight. He's not.

    Kovalev's big fights are coming up. First is Ward, then possibly Stevenson if he's ready to cash out.

    Stevenson vs. Kovalev will make Stevenson more than Steven's last two title fights, so economically speaking it makes sense for him.

    I'm not sure if Stevenson is 3rd best in the division right now. Beterbiev hits as hard as Kovalev does, and appears to be super durable.

    The light heavyweight division has a nice mix of established talent and up and comers.

    You always need everything explaining to you ,sometimes
    several times:patsch
    What Ward weighs is irrelevant ,it's about which lightheavyweights he has beaten.Christ you are thick!

    I said one your crusty and cancerous old man in terms of what class they fought in. Learn how to read. :lol::lol::lol:

    I also said Ward and his opponents have been above the 175 pound limit multiple times. :deal

    Not sure if you can't catch the differnce. You simply like to take a conversation way out there to get one point, and it has little relevance.

    A crusty cancerous old man you won't meet in New York in July.:lol:


    Bottom line Ward 's resume at 175 is underwhelming as is Kovalev's.:deal
