Right, Ward fcking any chance he had to gain fans. I don't care what you bias v@gina holes say, Floyd never and I mean never would let that **** fly we gotta run it back. Ward is irritating such a waste of talent long layoffs. Lack of fighting quality opposition. Honestly though if I could have it, I want Ward to fight Stevenson first, then rematch Kov. In the mean time have Kov and Bei get it on
He should rematch Kov then fight Stevenson, then, depending on if he wins or loses , and if he loses, how badly he loses, retire.
Ward wants his well deserved due. If'n he don't get it he will probably pull a Mayweather, retire, take a year off, then come back with a clean contract slate.
Kovalev took the fight with a contract for a rematch thinking that Ward would honour the agreement. Kovalev gave up every concession to make sure the fight went ahead but he should have been advised better about the judges. I hope Ward is just negotiating but my gut feel is that he knows that the second fight with Kovalev will be extremely dangerous. Therefore in his calculating way he will probably just hope that the history books don't show that he got a gift to keep an undefeated record.
The history books will agree with the experts in that Kovalev got robbed, it is what it is. It will haunt SOB forever including his fans.
