    Hi mate

    How about H2H?

    IMO Both Kov and Bet destroy Ward (Kov will go full out Krusher if Ward ever agrees to a rematch, while Beterbiev would flat out steamroll him)

    Kov vs Beter is pretty much a pick em

    H2H Thats the question.
    I thought Kovalev won against Ward so H2H would have Kovalev above Ward. With Beterbiev he looks very good and like he could do something but I would like to see him against some other fighters first.
    I have a feeling Beterbiev may well be the goods and I wouldnt be shocked if he were to beat Ward, but at the moment would have Ward above Beterbiev

    Re: Ward v Beterbiev H2H - I think this looks good for AB because of how powerful he looks on the inside and his immense ko power but Ward has surprising strength, is extremely smart at close quarters and can make adjustments over the second half of a fight.

    It's entirely possible that Ward won't be able to hold his ground against a guy this size and gets dominated in the clinch but I think he's smart enough to, worst-case-secanrio, drag the fight out and make it close.

    I'd like to be wrong though - I'd watch Beterbiev fight anyone. Can't say that about Ward.

    I doubt there's anyone around Artur's weight who could handle him in the clinch. He's absolutely devastating

    Ward's one of the best on the inside, but Artur is on a completely different level, and it wouldnt take long before one of his one inch arm punches has Dre in all sorts of hell

    There's a reason Dre would retire before taking on Artur let alone honouring the rematch clause with Sergei

    I'm inclined to agree regarding the physical strength of Beterbiev but I can't write off Ward on the inside. He's very subtle and is extremely adept at creating space for his punches.

    Ward is also an exceptional mid-range fighter. That's where he tends to dominate.

    For sure Ward's amazing on the inside. He dominates most of his opponents there

    Artur is very well trained in wrestling so Ward would be in all sorts of hell if he tried to get in a clinch game

    Beterbiev also seems to have a granite beard, so im not seeing him being too phased walking Ward down

    If Ward had the guts to face the monster and beat him, it would be a colossal achievement, and give him a bigger win than even ESB's own Calzaghe ever achieved

    He's not gonna face him though, as he knows he would be Steamrolled ;)

    He'll just put on his spandex onesie and his headgear and wrastle the **** out of beterbiev. Ward has a great tackle which makes him an ATG in grappling

    Beterbiev had the much larger, rangier Usyk stunned and on his bike in the Ams. He also went toe to toe with him boxing. How anyone can write Beterbiev off against this version of Ward or Kovalev is beyond me.
