And most people think Kovalev beat Ward the 1st time ? Don't be silly Holmes is historically way greater than Kovalev and had more of a size advantage than Kovalev did.
Kovalev has 5 x documented fight night weights at LHW, each between 181lbs and 189lbs. He was nowhere near 20lbs heavier than Ward. In fact, Ward may have been a little heavier on the nights they fought. Either way, there won't have been much in it.
There are about 8 on my list. He averages 185 on the night. Spinks is visibly a bigger LHW compared to Kovalev.
It's still a much better win and most people think Kovalev beat Ward the 1st time. This shouldn't be a back forth discussion it's quite simple. Holmes---> Kovalev by a considerable distance. Spinks is much greater than Ward P4P. End of story.
