    Wards calculating and bright with it, Bellew is a very hard fight for Ward, Usyk is unwinnable and even he would know that

    Most importantly Usyk showcases the skills he has and beats top guys within the rules unlike Ward. And he also doesn’t need the deck stacked in his favor constantly either. How many of Wards big fights were out of the US again?? A few of his biggest fights were right smack dab in his backyard in Oakland.

    and skilled, if he was just big then imo it wouldn't be such an uphill struggle, but add the skills factor with the size and he cant win, no chance

    Ward has an underrated single leg takedown. Those 10 fans have an appreciation of the finer points.

    its true that its meaningless unless it happens.

    After it happens the poll might then mysteriously become "who thinks 2Slyk ws overrated and that Ward cheated again". Its all conjecture until it happens.

    Ward is "nuts" if he thinks he can beat Usyk in a neutral venue.

    only can be considred if usyk is 43 years old. Joe does not accept fights with legends who arent 40something.

    Not enough for Ward. Usyk and Gassiev made $800k a piece, which is very good money for the cruiserweight division, but Gvozdyk at 175 will earn about the same as Usyk and Gassiev did in their match as a mandatory against Stevenson. Ward most likely retired after getting spoiled by the Roc Nation money, which allowed him to earn 12.5 million (5 million & 6.5 million) for both Kovalev fights.

    This is all the more reason I hope Usyk and Bellew have a big fight in the UK, since knowing Bellew and Hearn they'd promote the fight to the hilt. If Usyk and Bellew have a fight that draws good money Ward would definitely fight the winner, which would be a heck of a fight.
