    Kovalev is an elite LHW. See my previous post.

    No, there's elite fighters, not by weight. Kov showed in the last 2 fights to be just below elite. If he bounces back and shows his old self, we can call him Elite. Though if you want to call him elite, he's shown he has skills to back that up. I'm not looking at you crazy or nothing.

    He beat your "Elite" Ward in the first fight on most people's scorecards, so how does that work exactly?

    You have Frampton on your list of elite fighters also, but he got humbled after Leo went on the backfoot and kept him at range. Why does Frampton get an elite status but Kovalev(Who was making most of the division look poor) not?

    Kovalev is a great fighter.. He lost two controversial fights VS one of the best... No matter what people say about Ward.. The guy has beaten everyone... So to say he was bested by Ward is no shame.. Only problem here is the bs stoppage by Weeks and that the first fight was close.. Nothing to be ashamed off.. You win some and you lose some..

    I think Kovalev is elite, its just Ward is a level beyond elite. Ward is an ATG level talent.

    So? The Dawson fight in question was before Ward moved to 175. Where have you been?
