Ward plans on fighting in February, he says he wants the WBA lhw title which is currently held by Kovalev. The number one ranked WBA fighter is Felix Valera who is a southpaw. Even though he is a southpaw, it still would be a good fight for Ward to shake off ring rust. Looking at the lhw division who is the ideal opponent for Ward to fight in Feburary?

Gonzalez, Beterbiev, Valera
I personally want to see Beterbiev and him go head to head. If Ward can handle his power, he might have a higher chance against Kov.
But we all know he's gonna choose some unknown journeyman, great preparation for KovalevLast edited by MisterPullman; 11-24-2015, 01:38 AM.

Looking at the opponents all I can see is Felix Valera and Sean Monaghan, both fighters are undefeated. Monaghan is rated pretty high by the title organizations and currently a top 5 lhw in the US. I've seen Monagahan fight and he's decent.
In June or July, Ward would probably want to fight the winner of Shabransky/Gonzalez, maybe a fight with Fonfara, than his eventual showdown with Kovalev in November.Last edited by Boxingwizard; 11-24-2015, 02:45 AM.

Then in June or July, Ward would probably want to fight the winner of Shabransky/Gonzalez, maybe a fight with Fanfora, than his eventual showdown with Kovalev in November or December.Last edited by daggum; 11-24-2015, 02:45 AM.

Ward, I don't see him taking anybody risky...not his style since winning super six.

Normally, Beterbiev would end Ward's career... But Beterbiev doesn't hold enough rounds in the ring -- he didn't manage to stay at least 10 rounds with an opponent yet... and this is very important...
(... on topic: I'm helpless when it comes to guessing who Ward will fight next -- the guy is too unpredictable for me...)
