Don't get carried away. It was Jean Pascal.

:deal

 

So if Kovalev fights Ward there will be some hardcore punches coming back at him? Like Ward is a big puncher at LHW?

Or you meant his billy goat head?

 

I was pointing out the fact that Ward has fought more dangerous fighters than Kovalev.

The best fighter on Kovalev's resume is B-Pops.

The most dangerous is Darnell Boone.

 

The best fighter on Ward's resume is Carl Froch.

Froch fought Pascal and won but the fight was close. So there is that.

 

Froch fought Pascal at his best weight...168.

So there is that.

 

168 might be Andre Ward's best weight as well. We'll see.

 

Kovalev is pretty solid. I think that Ward will try to keep him turning, be first with the jab and use range to smother his power. I think he will have to disrupt Kovalev's timing and not take anything solid. If Kovalev can land the jab on Ward, Ward will be in for a real bad night because Kovalev can box.

He is going to go full spoiler. Mayweather and Ward are both like that. They feel they do everything well so they focus on what the other guy does great and try to take it away. If Kovalev is able to work off the jab nobody beats him in my opinion. Too strong and too nasty.

 

when kovalev steamrolls ward and stevenson will they also be considered weak competition?

 

the only ones getting carried away are ward and chickenson on a stretcher.

 

I don't know if Darnell Boone was the most dangerous, but that's hardly an insult.

In that regard you can argue the most dangerous guy Ward fought was Darnell Boone, too. Boone had Ward on his back. Who else did that to Ward?

Their competition is basically the same. Kovalev just destroys his.

Ward has no chance.
