Much respect for Ward as a fighter, even if his style didn't please crowds. He dominated a stacked field in the Super 6.

But Ward has been a paper champion since 2011, with Kovalev his only real foe of the last six years. He was living off the vapors of being an elite fighter without proving it very often in the ring.

Ward also wanted to be loved so much by fans but did little to court their affection. You can't have it both ways, 'Dre.

He will be a champion forgotten by most within 10 years.

But even past his best years he managed to move up and in weight and defeat one of the most feared fighters (Kovalez) in the world, although the first bout was questionable. He really impressed me in that second fight because he was tougher than the tough guy.

The handwriting was on the wall. The PPV numbers dipped for Ward-Kovalez II but Andre still walked away with close to $7 million which is his absolute peak. There is nothing but more dangerous opponents (Stevenson, Beterbiev) for less money, so why continue?

I think he wouldve destroyed Stevenson with ease.

Agree. Stevenson is one of the biggest frauds in boxing. One-trick pony, and that trick (one power hand) isn't that tough to beat.

Maybe, Adonis is very selective about his opponents lately.

Ever since he beat Dawson. He ran to another network to avoid Kovalev.

That's true but he feared Kovalez's power and appeared ready to fight Andre after W-K II.

Yeah, Stevenson is a one trick pony but that's one heck of a trick he has. Ward would probably win but I'd like to see it (for free).

I would also like to see Artur Beterbiev fight one of the top guys but it won't be against Adonis. He would be running from that bout as well.

"Selective" is a synonym for "scared" in Stevenson's case.

Stevenson is a fraud and almost 40; why are we even discussing him in the same breath as Ward and Kovalev, two true warriors?

Baloney. Stevenson never intended to fight either Ward or Kovalev. He's all talk. A fraud.

I don't know what's in Stevenson's head, but I think he would have taken a lucrative fight with Ward, but would it have been lucrative? He's running out of guys to fight because just like Kovalez says..............
