    This is just a list of guys that Stevenson won't fight?

    1. Ward
    2. Kovalev
    3. Beterbiev
    Beterbiev IS certainly number 1 if he incorporates a manhandling-mauling style into his current boxing.
    Ward got over his jitters of being in a super fight to win more rounds against Kovalev.

    Yes, it's too early to say for Beterbiev. He needs to start by beating Barrera convincingly, and then fight Stevenson or Ward/Kovalev. I personally think Beterbiev has huge potential, but still have to rank them at the moment:

    1. Kovalev & Ward
    3. Beterbiev

    Stevenson apparently wants Ward. Called him out immediately after Ward got the decision, but I don't put much faith in twitter callouts.

    What if Ward and Sergei refuse to fight him?

    If we have good evidence they are avoiding him, then we can reconsider. But last I heard Beterbiev turned down a decent offer to fight Kovalev. I guess he wanted to get some more pro experience first, which is perfectly understandable, but I'd be surprised if Kovalev isn't willing to fight him.

    They're warriors, they won't do such a thing.

    1. Kovalev
    2. Ward
    3. Beterbiev

    I thought SK beat AW but H2H I think AB is all wrong for AW and SK v AB is 60/40 to Krusher.

    I wouldnt expect Kovalev to turn him down either, but pretty sure the offer was made at a time Beterbiev was observing his faith, which meant he was fasting, and in no condition to fight

    Pretty sure Duva also tried to have the fight in a country that bitterly hates where Artur is from

    1.Kovalev is the man right now and its not even debatable .
    2.Ward .
    3.Beterbiev .

    Beterbiev should not be placed higher than Ward IMO .

    I like Beterbiev but I can't rank him above either guy with a straight face. He's a monster though.

    Thank You . Don't get me wrong , I really like the dude and he looks promising for now . But no way can he be ranked higher than Dre . Lets control our favoritism for the moment and be as honest as possible here .

    Yeah, I like Beterbiev but these guys have the resume to back up their skills. Both Kovalev and Ward are battle-tested and we know for a fact their skills translate to the top level of competition. I think Beterbiev can be the same but I need proof.
