Will be Cleverly, Alexander Brand or Erik Skoglund according to Rafael. Probably Clev.

Among these 3? No it doesn't. None have a remote chance of winning.

I do.

Ward vs Cleverly is a good fight.

If Ward can beat Cleverly then it gives him a lot more credibility heading into the Kovalev fight.

Cleverly is shot. Kovalev ruined him like Froch ruined Bute.

None of them is like Kovalev or come even close. What's a point ? Just earn another $2 mil without breaking a sweat ?

Gorge yourself on the lower quality 'cuts' if you like, but those with taste know what is better.

You're too good for gammon?

I enjoy both gammon and steak.

You should try to enjoy a variety of meat.

He has no chance whatsoever, he's been a shot fighter since the beating he took from Kovalev. And in Oakland with Ward's home ref, he'll be badly clinched, low-blowed, clamped and head-butted. Even if he did outbox Ward, he could not win on the scorecards in Ward's home town.

Shabranskyy would be better, he'd at least have a punchers' chance.

Too good for gammon, never.
I like a horse meat lasagna!
But I know what is the better meat, like I know what is the better fight.

Cleverly didn't look shot against Fonfara.

If Cleverly can be screwed over by the judges then so can Ward's other likely opponents, so what does it matter?

Who?

Bum squad!

Just some random Eastern European that you want to hype.

He's got nothing on Cleverly.

Ward vs Cleverly would be solid. A live opponent prior to the big fight with Kovalev.

I can't imagine Cleverly. He would be a step down from Barrera. Those other guys I can't make a judgment. I don't remember seeing them.
