    Totally agree

    Ward is world class on the inside

    But Beterbiev is probably the most brutal phone booth fighter on the planet

    Ward. Too smart, too slick, too quick.

    Yet far far too fragile for The Steamroller™

    I like Artur but he'd be much more likely to defeat Kolvalev rather than Ward.

    Robney is spot on in his assessment. Beterbiev is a natural Cruiserweight, he could viciously maul Ward if he wanted to, it was all Ward could do to keep Bika under control, and Artur is far more physically imposing than Sakio, strength for strength Beterbiev has a huge edge.

    Take the blinders off Jeff, Kovalev is more of an out fighter than Ward is, even while he's coming forward, which isn't an easy feat to pull off, even Chilemba who at times will just stand in front of his opponents and outwork them turned into a Floyd/Ward clone in their match, you can't walk Kovalev down, you'll pay dearly for it.

    Kovalev and Beterbiev are both potential nightmares for Ward in different ways.

    Beterbiev is a big, clumsy idiot. I see Ward boxing his ears off, there's levels to boxing and Beterbiev isn't there yet.

    So you think a guy that broke Tavoris Cloud's jaw and stopped him in two rounds, dropping him 4 times, something big scary Stevenson couldn't accomplish is incapable of landing on and hurting Ward?

    Steamrollers don't move laterally.

    Not as well as it would need to "Steamroll" Mr. Ward.

    This.

    Beterbiev is crude, but brutal - KO7.

    Very surprised at the amount of people that would take Beterbeiv in this fight.
