The historical significance for the winner of Kovalev vs Ward.

Stevenson has had 5 fights in the last 3 years, Ward 3.

 

Which is Andre Ward in a nutshell

 

There's a very simple solution to that and its called purse bids. The fight is staged on the network by the winning side. This is boxing 101.

Who pulled out of the bid? Krusher did , which proved the promotional issue was solely on his side. So why did you blame it on Stevenson?

 

Maybe. But as someone pointed out already this is the #1 ranked light-heavyweight going against the #4 or #5. That must have happened plenty of times, and means little really.

Both are undefeated but that doesn't mean much historically. Undefeated fighters go up against each other all the time.
This isn't necessarily best v the best, as already noted. It might be, but who knows.
I doubt seriously these two are both in their primes.

Andre Ward is no better.

 

Everything I said is true.Is that right or wrong? Who has Ward beat at lightheavyweight to make this such a special fight? He isn't even in the top 4 at 175lbs!

 

A few weeks ago, GGG and Brook?lol

 

Because he is a Kovalev nut- hugger!

 

I repeat who has Ward beat at175lbs to make this a special fight?

 

Team Steveson never once said it had to be on Showtime. They entered purse bids expecting Kovalev and his team to do the same , but they did not , they withdrew and that is a fact.
If Stevenson had done that there would no end to the abuse he would receive.

It seemed very strange at the time why Kovalev would pull out of the purse bids. It all made sense after i saw him against Chilemba the south paw. If pitter patter jabs off Chimemba were good enough to snap back the head of Krusher , imagine what a savage left hand from Stevenson would do?
Superman doesn't have a lot of variety , but he does with the little he has to effective devastation . And he is very awkward and hard to time. Kovalev is all about straight forward boxing and timing.
That straight left hand lead from supamman is a knock out blow.

HBO and main events knew all along Krusher was wide open to a straight left hand lead. The Chilemba fight proved it as fact.
They had no confidence in him going over to Showtime and pulling out the victory. Thats why they would not go through with the purse bids as every body knew Haymon was going to win.
Now i think you should run along and board up your windows or something

 

lol is 2016 Kovalev fighting 2011 Ward?
