    GGG does have some good fights lined up but your asking what would i like to see and I would like to Ward-GGG more. I think GGG can touch up Ward. I also think Kovelev can too. i wanna see both but if i had to choose one, im picking GGG.

    Why would they have to do that, there is no evidence out to suggest that Ward is ducking Kovalev. As a matter of fact, I think that he fully intends to fight Kovalev but he wants to shut GGG's mouth up about saying that he will fight anyone from 168 down to 154.

    I'd prefer Ward- Kovalev because it'd be more competitive.

    Everytime Ward's name comes up at a GGG or Kovalev fight, the crownd goes crazy for the fight. That means it's a wanted fight and there is money to be made. Now GGG is just straight scared and I don't blame him because Ward will end his BS once and for all. Kovalev is a real threat but Ward more than anyone stands a better chance of beating him. It's a 50/50 proposition. Ward can end a whole lot of shiit talking with those two fights and that's his plan.

    ward-kovalev is a no-brainer

    but it won't happen

    and should be golovkin-cotto/canelo btw (floyd doesn't belong here).

    Once again, if GGG is scared of Ward, then why is Ward not scared of Kovalev.

    Ward vs. Golovkin makes the most sense, to me.

    While technically his last couple of bouts - comprising all his activity since 2012 - have been at light heavyweight, he was never a huge SMW. He fought Bradley in the amateurs. He's the same height as Kovalev but in truth closer to Golovkin in actual size.

    I also think Ward vs. Golovkin is the more competitive match-up.

    Kovalev would knock him out, and get little credit afterwards. That would be pretty anticlimactic.

    Ward vs. Golovkin, however, is one in which you wouldn't be able to help but give the victor lots of credit (Golovkin for moving up and facing the #1 in a higher division, and Ward for at last taking on an elite prime or near-prime opponent again - which he so far has done exactly twice, versus Kessler in 2009 and Froch in 2011)

    I feel GGG has more options at Middleweight, than Kovalev or Ward have at all.

    He's facing Lemieux, then he can look toward the Lee v Saunders and Cotto v Canelo winners. Plus after those 3, I believe he's only2 defenses off equaling Hopkins record at MIddleweight

    What is there for Ward at 168? DeGale is with Haymon which makes that fight unlikely, Jack the same, Groves can probably make big money domestically if he beats him, nobody wants to see Ward v Abe again, he won't fight the Dirrells because they are is pals.

    Kovalev's most marketable foes for now are Stevenson and Beterbiev who are both with Haymon so it makes those fights less likely.
