How Would Andre Ward's Opponents In Their Prime Fare Against Sergey Kovalev At 175?

Is Kovalev really 'only' 6'? He looked same height as Clev who is 6'3.. 6'2

 

Come on Rummy, if even the moderators are trolling how have we got any hope of having any sort of serious discussion?

Don't stoop to their level.

 

Okay.. then he'll punish him on the inside.

Ward is the best in fighter in the game. He is ruthless in there. :hey

Ward is not an out boxer..:huh

 

Prime roy wins unless he gets caught clean. Tarver has a chance. Kessler and Froch might put up a good fight but Kovalev is probably too big for them. I think he beats the rest rather easily.

 

Cleverly was clearly taller, but he hunches down a lot and gives up his height and reach and fights like a smaller fighter than he really is.

 

kovalev is way too big of a puncher

 

ward wouldn't dare take any chances against kovalev. he'll get hit once then be in survival mode all night...

 

Kova knocks them all out. Fact

 

Opinion which will never be proved a fact or fiction. Relax.

 

Throw Glen Johnson in the mix in your "just for the hell of it" list.

 

Prime Dawson gives him problems with that great jab. I give him a decent chance. But, I'll go with Sergey.

Prime Roy embarrasses him. If he gets caught clean and hard that might change things.

Tarver gives gives him a close fight. And might beat him.

Taylor gives it his all. But, he gets stopped.

Miranda, Pavlik, Bute, Fonfara, Green, Smith and Rodriguez get stopped.

Abraham and Bika see the bell. But, they get beat in a lopsided affair.

Kessler and Froch wins some rounds off Sergey. Maybe they stun Kovalev during some exchanges. But, he decisions both.

 

When Dawson was with Floyd Sr, I think he would beat Kovalev. He was just too fast and he's also bigger than Kovalev. As long as Chad didn't get caught too much he probably would win. Adamek was the favorite when Chad fought him but Chad's boxing skills was too much. I think that would be the case with Koavlev, Chad's boxing skills would be too much. Kovalev has yet to fight a boxer at Chad's level when was in his prime.

The crazy thing is Dawson peaked in 2007. It's unfortunate that he has a poor attitude and that's what causes him to switch trainers (10 times I might add) thus his skilled deteriorated.

 

dunno, baby George has power and it didn't stop froch, the worst ever froch, given 2 chances. in fact froch stopped the kocney little loudboy twice, the exact opposite (athough to be fair that's what usually happens when a kocney loudmouth dares face a hard as nails northerner/midlander).
