So, is Ward stepping up finally from the Smith's and Rodriguez' in this world?

You mean Kovalev beat a damage chin of pascal thanks to take many big shots from froch, dawson, hopkins? Lol.

 

Kovalev was the only one that ever knocked out Pascal....:deal

Pascal has a steel mandible, and the Krusher shattered it.

 

He ko pascal because pascal chin was already ruined by taking shots from froch, dawson, hopkins twice. Kovalev just took advantage.

 

That is perhaps the dumbest thing I had ever heard. Pascal has never been knocked out before, but whatever :hi:

 

What use would that resume have in the ring with Kovalev ? Sergey would shove it into Andre's mouth.

 

Ward will beat Kovalev. But, it's a very good fight. I have to say I rather see Ward face the winner of Stevenson vs Kovalev, so that the lineal title is on the line.

 

that was for even $$$$, and no titles.
There were 3 drafts offered to Ward.
Roc could have made it happen.

GBP gets out of their share of the "possible" Canelo Cotto fight by allowing Lemieux to make the unification fight.

Roc is still stuck having to pay off GGG, and that could be a stumbling block for Canelo Cotto fight.
That said, Mayweather has no dog in that fight, and Cotto can defend against Mayweather and Floyd would essentially carry Rocs note, probably a flat figure as opposed to the PPV %.

Where's that leave WARD.
Trying to drag and old journeyman down to 170 to jokeland.

Or, trying to get Zurdo to drop his mandate with Abraham and meeting ward at 170 in a non title fight.

It took Lemieux and GBP all of a day to make the unification fight.
The ward saga has been dragging for over 2 wks.

If ward's gonna fight GGG, it's gonna be at 168/180 & he'll have to concede to testing and a 40% split.
Still do 500k buys, so ward will still make $8+ mil for the fight.

Will he concede to 180, testing, title on the line and the /lb penalty.
Claiming to be 180 is one thing.
Kovalev, Pascal, Mohammedi, and Gonzalez agreed to FIGHTNIGHT weighin.
Why has ward refused for the past 3 years?
And if GGG is GONNA pay for the testing, why would that be an issue????
