    Knowacki

    These guys could easily be done inside 8 months - easy enough to win but Knowacki would be a somewhat good entry test for Usyk, he comes to fight and is a solid low level gatekeeper

    Chisora - Elite Gatekeper
    Whyte - Contender
    AJ/Fury - Top level operators

    Usyk could ascend to the top of the heavys inside of 2 years I feel.

    Always been a big fan of Ward, but he would be silly to take this fight. Size matters.

    What! Awkward? He answered straight away good fighter. What was awkward about that? Stop trying to make something out of nothing.

    That whole interview was awkward as soon as Usyk’s name came up. And Ward had to force the “Good fighter” out of his mouth and it was obvious he wasn’t comfortable admitting that. Look at the sour look on his face.

    Quit trying to deny the obvious.

    Yeah, he was very uncomfortable. Remember when he was afraid to fight Kovalev the first fight and remember when he was scared to rematch Kovalev.......remember! Yeah, you guys really know how to read Ward! LOL

    I'd say trying to get every possible advantage in his favor, including homefield, home ref, home judges, and even ****ing spying on Kovalev's camp and paying off Kovalev's coach to rat on him, is a pretty mother****ing big sign of how uncomfortable and insecure Ward was going into both fights.

    LOL Home field advantage? Kov was fighting in the US for some years prior to their fights. Did Kovalev even ask to fight in a venue outside the US either fight? Serious question. So scratch that excuse off the list. No proof that the refs and judges were paid off. Scratch that excuse off the list. First fight was close but, nothing to get your panties in a wad. The rematch was a terrible ending. The ref should have given Kov a count but, Kov was getting pummled around the ring in full retreat and survival mode. Understandable why the ref stopped it. Scratch that off the excuse list.The final shot that crumpled him over will be argued forever and a day and no resolution will be had. We, as gentlemen and lovers of the sport of boxing, can at least, agree on that point.

    Kovalev Russian fighting in America - Ward American fighting in America.
    It would of been pointless if he had. It was on HBO against an American.
    Ward clearly lost the first fight, and was losing the rematch until he decided to repeatedly punch the Krusher in the nuts. No warnings were given, the stoppage was BS, the ref couldn't have made a worst decision.

    Lol! :facepalm: What? Do you idiots really think people don’t notice all the sleazy **** Ward does to stack the deck in his favor in these fights? :lol:

    Ward was on some serious ‘supplementation’ in the Kovalev rematch (See back acne pictures) That crap will only take him so far against Usyk. Plus he knows Usyk is as healthy as it gets (No drinking problems) and has endurance for days.

    Ward knows what he would be up against and yes... you can see it on the *****’s face when he’s asked about Dr Feel.

    I think Ward got the wink so to speak to take Kov on from Jackson way before people think. He knew Kov was on auto pilot with his career and not living the life anymore more than anyone, he just hung around for the cheque, waiting for his moment of glory when Kov finally ****ed up
