A Euro level body builder with a damn good chin that's in and around Callum Smith's level and an excellent body puncher and had (sans a 4 rounder in his second match), a 100% KO ratio going into their match. And you're just tearing him down, in case Canelo beats him. Which he won't.
As far as the thread starter's intent. The thread has clearly been made to make Ward look better, it's quite transparent. That being said, he's still Top 3 easily. Wow, he's been stopped twice and had a bad round. When has that ever happened to a fighter? Crazy right? He probably beats Bivol, Ramirez, Jack, Buatsi and every other fighter near the top 10. Callum Johnson could rove to be problematic style wise, but's it's winnable. Gvozdyk and Beterbiev are both REALLY tough asks. But it's not out of the realm of possibility that he beats both. If Kovalev comes out aggressive and tries to take them out early, it's doable. Beterbiev has flaws that play into the Krusher's hands, but the reverse is also true. Gvozdyk however is a terrible style clash for him. Is he number 1, no.... it's a tie at the moment. And because I have no desire to see Kovalev KO'd again, hopefully we'll never find out.
