Froch and Kessler smaller, because their muscle mass is lower. Froch even complained how huge Ward was IN THE RING. It is like Canelo vs Cotto -- they weigh about the same during weigh-in, but next day, Canelo is 12-15 pounds bigger. In case of Kessler, the difference may be lower, but muscle mass wise, it may be the same.
When you're as invincible and as technically and fundamentally perfect as Andre Ward is as a boxer, no fighter is a test for you. He has an incredible resume, never any disputable fights, he's passed every test..overcame injuries, setbacks and much more and he's still undefeated, still the best American fighter out there, still the best SMW of all time and still better than your favorite fighter. You can hate all you like but Ward has humbled you all before and he will humble you again when he beats Kovalev with ease.
I was joking too, I'd love to see Kovalev in a battle royale against everyone Ward and Froch fought, I have a feeling he be the last man standing.:yep
Ha-ha-ha. "Invincible" Is that why he had to headbut and hug Kessler to death ? Any objective ref would DQ him. He has never faced anybody of Kovalev's skills and power.
Right and wrong. Kessler, Froch and Bika where pretty good test since all of them were world champion when or close to when they fought Ward. All already lost when they fought Ward, but they are all really good win on his resume. Kovalev is a different beast. He is a beast. P4P material. He is special. I doubt Ward can sustain Kovalev. So in a way, depending on the definition of big, I guess yes, somebody could say that Kovalev is somehow Ward first big test.
He did school BHop which is what you dummies said BHop was going to do to Kovalev. Hope you didn't bet your hood pass on that one:rofl If George Groves can put Froch on the floor, Kovalev can put him out.
