If he wins will he stay at LHW and try to unify? Im sure a fight with Adonis would be big money or will he go back down to 168 and try to draw GGG up. Im sure GGG v Ward would be worth a lot more money should Ward beat Kov?

If he loses to Kov what will he do? Retire and focus on commentating? Blame the loss on size and campaign again at 168? Id have a feeling if he loses hed be like Naz and give up the game.
If he wins ? The fuck outta here. He'll destroy Kovalev. It will be a mismatch. And he'll destroy GGG
He would beat GGG but do not think he can beat Kov. If he does then he will become a legend.
Name me any time in recent history (Last 40 years.......hell I'll give you 50 years) that an elite black fighter in his prime has lost to a white fighter
Firstly, How do we know Ward is in his prime still?
Secondly, Why is there a time limit on it? if it's impossible for prime white fighters to beat prime black fighters, then time doesn't matter, no?
oh, I see , it's so you can discount Lamotta , Marciano & Johansson amongst others.
ok , what about :
Coetzee - Dokes
Quarry - Shavers amongst others
Wlad - Haye
Collins - Eubank
Pac - Mosley
Pac - Bradley
Calzaghe - Lacy (Yes , Lacy was seen as Elite and in his prime till Calzaghe exposed him.)

and there are White guys on that list that I can't fucking stand , so don't think this is some kind of fanfare for the White popular front!
so fucking pick the bones out of that list BRO!
Out of that list. The only one were I'd say your correct is Vlad and Haye. Haye was elite and in prime. So I'll give you that one.

Manny Pac is white now ? You been smoking something ? Jeff Lacy would'nt get anywhere near any top ten list super middles the last 30 years. Mike Dokes ? Cmon. That that was a mediocre era of heavies Tony Tubbs and Greg Page and Bonecrusher Smith until Tyson cleared it up.

Eubank Vs Collins. Eubank was borderline for me as an elite fighter. He would not have beaten Roy Jones or James Toney. He was good fighter. But elite ? Plus even though he was 31, to me he was an old 31, because of his wars with watson and benn and pretty much all his fights went the distance and he had an iron jaw. I just think say Eubank was elite is debatable.

Earnie Shavers ? I don't think he even won a world title. Did he ? Not sure you can call yourself an elite fighter with out a world title
