Joe Smith Jnr. is the best light heavyweight got unlucky with his last fight

so to summarise your argument:

Joe Smith is the best LHW because he fought with a broken jaw and because he's better than Stevenson and Ward (who is retired)
​

i wonder if you are familiar with the top 10 fighters in this weight class.

for instance, here are three LHWs--each one of them at least one level above Joe Smith, Jr:

Dmitry Bivol​

Artur Beterbiev​

Oleksandr Gvozdyk​

 

Joe Smith Jr and Jeff Horn are the same lucky guy who were solidly outboxed by ancient HOF fighters but wrestled and gooned their way to a win and would get their clocks cleaned by any top fighter in their division.

Hopkins was crossing his feet doing the grandpa shuffle in the fight against Smith. His footwork in that fight and the Kovalev fight is night and day. You'd have to be a dunce to not see that.

Kovalev puts on a jab clinic against Smith like GGG did to Lemieux.

 

Joe Smith is arguably the hardest puncher p4p in the sport, I think he actually is. It's just outrageous power, but he doesn't have the skill to have more than a punchers chance against the very best the world has to offer.

Also I do agree that Kovalev has stamina issues and that in any fight where he has to dig deep they will be present. He blasted through the entire division until he ran into Andre Ward who has the defensive skills to make Kovalev huff and puff.

But most fighters don't have the ability to prevent Kovalev from landing. Kovalev also has vicious power. He lands and you're screwed. He will land on Smith and beat him brutally and savagely. The difference in skill level is ridiculous.

 

Lmmfao. Haha lol.

 

Is the scumbag, I mean TS talking about Terence Crawford? He named two Lhw's and a ****en WW lol. Say it ain't so lmao. Is this clown really Boxing Master?

 

Totally agree and let’s have it right Ward only wins these big fights by having a ref who allows him to do something else in the ring cause sure as hell its not boxing what he does and if anyone of those Ward sympathisers refute this I ask them to consider what boxing would be like if Canelo and GGG fought this way and every other boxer today.

Who thought that Kovalev would look like the superior boxer and Ward the brawler,he tried to box for two rounds and got beaten up,only when he literally ran across the ring holding on to Kovalev leg And proceeded to jab,lunge,hold n wrestle for the rest of the fight was Ward given rounds on account that only Ward does this with the blessing of the US judges and Ref.
Boxing is not gonna miss this boring,corrupt piece of **** and what makes it worse is that in the tune ups he boxed nicely it’s only in big fights does Ward do this crap cause he knows he can.
No surprise this guy couldn’t sell out small arenas or ever risk travelling,that he couldn’t fathom how Floyd had fans and haters who paid to see him speaks volumes to his ego and how he was unable to admit to himself that his career was down to his wrestling skills,low blows,head butts and even the odd elbow
