Kathy Duva confirms Ward deal.

Bottom line both were not that good. People used to trash Hopkins resume at 160, but he at least had real solid blue collar guys to fight. At the time he fought them, Echols, Johnson, Holmes, Jackson, Allen(first two fights) Joppy, etc. were real contenders. They make Golovkin's opposition look like ****.

 

Berto was ranked #1 with the WBA/WBO before he fought Floyd, I guess he was a top WW too .

 

:deal

 

Ward will NEVER fight Kovalev that's blatantly obvious. #Ward is shot hasn't had a meaningful fight in FOUR YEARS!!! & yet some say he P4P top 5 ? ROFLMAO

 

sigh, is anyone surprised CJ the old fart Floyd hater is now hating on Ward no that floyd retired . I was a huge floyd fan, not so much of a Ward fan. And yes, he will fight Kovalev.

 

I like Golovkin, just don't like the hype train built up around him fighting bums. Golovkin wouldn't be champ at any point in the 1990s.

 

So? Paul Smith was coming off giving the guy that beat GGG's best win a close fight. Hell Paul Smith didnt do that much worse than Murray in the first fight . Monroe was coming off beating Bryan Vera , since when does being ranked in the sanctioning bodies mean jack ****?

 

Ward and contract and Ward and a deal doesn't guarantee anything. There can be an injury, update to contract with the change of date as Ward will need tune-up fights and of course there always can be a court....

 

Who's the coward in his division? Are yout alking about the welterweight cotto, who weighs in less than the full LMW weight, and is about to get a huge payday with a more established resume and bigger name?

 

PPV?

What are they thinking?

 

Double standards as usual :happy
