    bivol is marching towards the WBA mandatory, will smash cleverly.

    kovalev is due a rematch

    beterbiev is about to become ibf mandatory

    and i can see gvodsyk moving into contention for the wbo mandatory

    the pressure is on ward to actually fight or he will lose all he's belts imo

    Luckily for the pimp the wbc rankings are complete nonsense and he can fight bums for the foreseeable future but ward doesnt have that privilege

    I think Ward vacates and goes into retirement, only to come back in a final comeback in 2018.

    He only fights once a year, I think he'll keep his schedule and we'll have a rematch in the fall.

    Unless y'all bums begin to appreciate Ward and make a fuss of him, he's gonna retire.

    Word from his trainers mouth.

    He shouldn't have any belts to give up, since Kovalev won the fight.

    No Ward wont give them up until they are wrestled out of his arms and hes good at wrestling, thats how he won those belts in the 1st place. Although he is very unlikely to defend them in the ring.

    He's got a good gig with hbo and already tasted what Kovalev is about. His lucrative contract with roc nation is done. I expect a long layoff which sucks. I think Kovalev won and deserves a rematch
