He's most certainly expected to win but where people fight in the amateurs is really not that much at play here. They are like two different sports. And let’s not forget that Ward was talking about going to 175 a day after the S6 ended and that’s because there were no opponents left at 68. But alas a phantom issue came up right about the time when Stevenson and Kovalev burst out. He failed at every juncture is his bogus claims against Goossen and in the meantime provided himself the avenue out of getting in the mix at 175. Oh I'm sure its all just coincidence. Now it appears he is using his self-imposed 5 year exile as a reason to stall a Kovalev fight even further by saying he may fight another after Barrera? No doubt to shake off that 5 year rust of his own making.

I think that Ward still has it, and he does have intentions on fighting Kovalev. Ward has had issues getting big fights but it happens to some people. Until Ward actually loses the only thing people can do is take away credit for what he has done aSnd find reasons to convince themselves that he's gonna loses cause of this and cause of that. People just don't care to see any talent coming from Ward so unless he beats everyone like Barrera Kovalev Stevenson Fonfara the Cruiser weight then Heavyweight then he might get some credit. Another thing that I was a bit confused about was the GGG situation, how was the outcome in that fight in your opinion I look at Canelo vs GGG talk about how he isn't gonna fight Canelo @155 and says its for the middle weight title at 160. Also GGG was willing to go down to 147 to fight Floyd and also willing to go up to fight Chavez Jr @168 but wouldn't fight Ward at 168 GGG wanted it at 164. Ward tried to make that super fight and GGG turned it down, was that Wards fault? Ward is fighting at 175 because he was forced up in weight to get a big fight and has a Contract to fight Kovalev soon and he still gets no credit. Just say FUCK WARD instead of making up reasons you think he'll lose.
